Keeping up with software clients can be a challenge for technology legal counsel. The software as a service industry evolves quickly, time-lines are condensed, and the playing field yesterday can look decidedly different than it looks today. The name of the game for a SaaS company is to stay ahead of the pack and become known as THE leader in its industry.
I recently read an article in Entrepreneur magazine about Search Engine Optimization titled What You Don't Know About SEO.
What I DO know is that many of our clients could have written this article.
For those of you interested in Internet marketing, here's an excerpt about targeting keywords to help drive search results that our friends over at Compendium Blogware could have written:
"Google, of course, is the web-search alpha dog. But all the others--Bing, Yahoo, Ask.com, Lycos--are sniffing out the same stuff.
What gets their attention? Good, fresh, focused content. Adding a blog is one of the easiest and most straightforward ways to bulk up on content. If you sell hair-removal devices, for instance, start a blog that explores all aspects of waxing, plucking, threading, electrolysis and so on. Over time, your site will accrue searchable heft.
The trick is to be hyper-conscious of your keywords. For example, if you want web surfers on the prowl for "eyebrow waxing" to find your site in search engine results, organically work the exact phrase "eyebrow waxing" into each blog post (maybe multiple times), and use it on all static pages related to eyebrow waxing. Lather, rinse and repeat with every term and phrase you want to rank for.
Before you start writing content, though, research and plan your keyword attack. Is geography important to finding your customers? Then maybe "California eyebrow waxing" is the phrase you want to home in on."
Just a brief example of the world I'm living in by working in the area of SaaS legal consulting, I have the absolute privilege of working with high-tech, fast growing companies. Truly partners in success, I and the other attorneys of Alerding Castor Hewitt, LLP who practice in the area of technology legal counsel welcome the challenge of keeping up with the pace of this industry.
