The Personal Injury Content Calendar: What a Firm Should Publish Every Week
A healthy content mix for a personal injury firm isn't one type of content repeated — it's a blend that covers different search intents. Here's a practical weekly breakdown.
Timely incident coverage — the majority of the calendar
This should be the bulk of weekly output: articles tied to actual local incidents in your practice areas. These capture the highest-intent traffic (someone searching right after an accident) and are the hardest content type for competitors to replicate quickly, since they require monitoring local news continuously.
Evergreen legal guides — occasional, not the focus
General guides ("What Is Comparative Fault in [State]?", "How Long Do I Have to File a Claim?") still have value for capturing broader research-stage searches, but they should be a minority of the calendar — they don't decay in relevance the way timely content does, so there's less need to keep producing more of them once solid coverage exists.
FAQ-format content — supports both search and AI answer engines
Structured Q&A content, with both visible FAQ sections and FAQPage schema markup, serves two purposes: it captures featured-snippet real estate in traditional search, and it's the format AI answer engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews) most readily extract and cite when answering a user's question. Every article generated through Legal Content Engine includes a 5–7 question FAQ section for exactly this reason.
Frequently asked questions
- What percentage of content should be timely versus evergreen?
- There's no universal ratio, but weighting heavily toward timely, incident-specific content tends to outperform for personal injury firms specifically, given how time-sensitive the underlying search intent is.
- Does FAQ content need to be a separate article, or part of every post?
- It works best embedded in every article as a section, rather than as standalone FAQ pages — that way the FAQ content benefits from the same page authority as the incident-specific content around it.
