Create comprehensive estate planning guides for each of the 3,000+ counties in the United States, providing specific local requirements, procedures, and resources. Each guide would include county-specific probate court information, local attorney recommendations, and detailed processes.
Example Keywords
- "Estate planning in [County], [State]"
- "[County] probate court process"
- "How to file probate in [County]"
- "[County] estate planning requirements"
Rationale
Local searches have high intent, and competitors rarely provide county-level detail. Current data shows success with state-level content, suggesting county-specific content would perform well.
Topical Authority
Already ranking for state-specific terms like 'California probate fees' and 'Texas probate timeline', extending to county-level enhances authority.
Internal Data Sources
Leverage existing legal databases, court information, and state-specific content to create detailed local guides.
Estimated Number of Pages
3,000+ pages (one for each county)
Develop comprehensive estate planning guides tailored to specific professions, addressing unique assets, liabilities, and considerations for each career path. Content would cover specialized needs like intellectual property, professional licenses, and business succession planning.
Example Keywords
- "Estate planning for [Profession]"

- "[Profession] practice valuation estate planning"
- "How to protect [Professional] assets"
Rationale
Professional-specific searches indicate high intent and better conversion potential. Competition analysis shows limited profession-specific content in the market.

Rationale
High search volume for definitional terms (60,500 monthly searches for 'fiduciary') represents significant traffic opportunity. Current data shows limited ranking for these terms.

Internal Data Sources

Estimated Number of Pages
500+ pages (covering all relevant terms and variations)
