Factors of Authentication: AEO Changes Your Content Model

Just when you had begun to master (too strong?) SEO – here comes AEO. 

 

Now, the question of the moment becomes: How do I get found in generative AI queries?  (Seriously, stop this ride: I want to get off.) 



Content marketing remains an effective strategy for ranking in search; and, it’s also effective for appearing in generative AI queries.  The big difference is that natural intelligence is engaged in traditional search, whereas artificial intelligence is engaged in the former.  And ‘the AI’ likes different variations on content than do humans. 

 

That’s why web content is changing. 

 

AI tools like FAQs. 

 

AI tools like comparisons. 

 

AI tools like instructional content. 

 

(Yeah, real people like these things, too; but, AI loves them.) 

 

So, as you begin to draft or record for the modern online environment, the primary question you should be asking is:  

 

What does ChatGPT want me to write or say? 

 

. . . 

 

If your content marketing program needs a refresh, there is no time like the present.  Just ask your local GPT.

Perfect Timing: New Calendaring Tools Make It Easy to Connect with Leads and Clients

Image
Lawyers tend to be inefficient, and have difficulty engaging both leads and clients.  These hurdles are apparent when it comes to the scheduling process.  Attorneys and staff onboard leads for meetings, and schedule appointments with existing clients, via strings of emails -- and, delayed response s only extend the conversation, and the time frame.  And, while this is detrimental for client s (who demand speed and convenience), it’s even worse for leads, who may never convert, if they’re not onboarded simply, and easily.   The good news is that modern technology tools allow for scheduling without the intervention of humans, including you and your staff.  That means that you can say goodbye to all those extra emails, and wasted time.  Programs like Calendly and Acuity allow clients to book appointments directly onto a law firm or lawyer’s calendar, and include buffers and controls, so users aren’t overwhelmed.  LawTap offers a similar tool focu...

Get That Bag: How to Build a Collection Process for Your Law Firm

Image
Law firm account s receivable can be gnarly, sometimes extending into the six figures .     Now, there are a couple of responses to that .  The preferred option is to eliminate accounts receivable altogether, which can be done using epayment options, and potentially evergreen retainers combined with stop work order s .   Of course, you may not ever get to 100% collection rates – that’s a tall order – and, you may have some accounts receivable to deal with already .  And so, you’ll need to establish a collection process – and, that should flow from your engagement agreement.     The components relating to money that you need in your engagement agreement, aside from your rate(s) and/or basis of your rates, would be: An escalating series of penalties for non-payment .  An arbitration clause, potentially including access to a state bar’s fee arbitration board .  That stop work order .  This will allow you to put pressure on non-pay...

Care and Feeding: How to Keep Clients Updated on Cases

Image
Even at this late stage, with all of the technology available to lawyers and law firms, one of the major complaints of clients is that law firms don’t communicate with them, or keep them abreast of what’s happening with their cases.       So, if you’re hearing that your clients aren’t hearing from you, here are some strategies to employ, to better develop those relationships , and to keep your clients happy:     Communication Tasks Related to Workflows .   Modern law firms should be built on workflows; you ’ll want to have a workflow in place for managing every part of your law firm – from intake to cases to administration .  So, it goes without saying that some of those case-specific tasks would involve tasks you ’ r e doing on behalf of clients – no, wait: that all of those tasks .  That means that each time you complete a task for a client, you c ould update the client on that task .  Of course , you don’t need to do that for...
