What is a Good Law Hub? Hint, it is not about You.• Your site should be about your core
practice area.
• Stop writing about me, me and me.
• Focus on an industry or practice.
• Dominate your area with all available information online. Become THE resource topic.
• Stop focusing the website on “Me” content.

The Problem with Blogging• Good content gets buried. • No Curation• Once a post is written, read,
it is gone after a week or two.
• Your best content should always be available.
• Your best content should be easy to find.

The Future of Law Firm Content• Fail or Succeed• Not just about you. • It is about resources the firm
provides to the public. • Set yourself apart as an
industry resource. • Firms that invest in
publishing worthwhile information will succeed.

Focus of the Website• Stop the “Me” content. • Focus the website on your blog
content.• Minimize the buttons about the
firm and about attorney bios.• Have contact information readily
available on every single page. Also have a contact button in case people still want to click on that.
• Turn your blog and practice areas into a Hub (see examples below).
