LegalTech startups · Content marketing
Write what a sceptical associate would forward to the partner.
Content marketing for a LegalTech startup means writing pieces that a cautious lawyer or compliance head reads, trusts and passes along, from a data page to a plain explainer. GullySales works on the topics, the lawyer review that sits behind each piece and the way a reader moves from an article to a conversation.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What content marketing means
Content marketing is writing articles, guides and pages that answer the questions buyers search before they are ready to enquire. This makes your business visible and trusted before the first call. GullySales plans this content from the first conversation onward, choosing topics that match real search demand rather than guesses.

For LegalTech startups
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Basic pieces teach the reader nothing”
A lawyer already knows what a contract is. A post that starts there loses the reader in the first line. The piece they forward is the one that shows a working example from a real task, with the awkward cases included.
“Advanced pieces start sounding like advice”
A paragraph that tells the reader what to do in their own matter is advice, and publishing it exposes the company and the reviewing lawyer. Explaining how a process works, and saying so, is the safer line.
“A whitepaper is read by the person who asked for it”
The managing partner will not read thirty pages. The associate does, then writes two lines for the partner. The document needs a first page that the associate can lift whole.
“A case study needs more than a happy firm”
Naming a firm needs written consent, agreed words and a check against the firm's own rules. Without those, the story belongs in a private conversation and not on the site.
What we do
What we deliver for LegalTech startups.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A topic list drawn from real objections
Pieces planned around questions recorded in demos, trials and lost deals.
Result: Each topic traces to something a buyer asked.
Explainers reviewed by a named lawyer
Plain-language pieces on how a process works, marked as information and checked before publication.
Result: Each piece shows who reviewed it.
A long-form guide with a liftable first page
A guide for in-house teams or firms, with a summary page written to be forwarded.
Result: The reader can pass one page upward.
A consent route for case stories
A form, agreed wording and a record of who approved what.
Result: A story goes live only with a signed approval.
A reading path from article to demo
Links from each piece to the next sensible step, such as a data page or a demonstration request.
Result: A reader finishing an article has a clear next click.
How the result is measured
- Pages published
- Organic traffic
- Enquiries from content pages
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
Posts and pieces to plan
Plan pieces a sceptical associate would send to the partner.
- Questions to ask before moving client files
- A buyer's checklist on storage, access and exit. Pair it with your data page so each question has a visible answer.
- Setting up a hearing diary for a new office
- A step guide with screenshots on sample matters, ending with a link to start a trial with one real case.
- What a clause library saves and what it does not
- An honest piece for drafting teams. Naming limits makes the benefits easier to believe.
- Registering a company: what the founder should know
- General information reviewed by a named lawyer, with a clear note that individual cases differ, leading to the order page.
- Adopting new software in a law office
- A guide for partners drawn from your own trials, on getting the associate and clerk to use it in the first sessions.
- Whitepaper: a comparison of ways to track compliance
- A long guide for company secretaries with a liftable first page the CFO can read. Gate nothing the reader needs to judge fit.

Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- You have no named lawyer to review the pieces, so your explainers would carry the risk of being read as advice.
- You plan advanced pieces before basic ones exist, so a new reader would find nothing to start with.
- A case study is your first piece, though no firm has agreed in writing to be named.
How it works
How the content marketing work runs
The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.
- 1
Agree the plan
Topics and formats come from the content strategy and the buyer-question list. The volume goes into the written scope, agreed with you, not into a number quoted on a call.
- 2
Brief and draft
Each piece starts from its one-page brief and a short conversation with your technical person, recorded if they allow it, so the draft uses their words.
- 3
Check the facts
Your person marks the draft for accuracy and we correct it. Regulated subjects also go to your own adviser, because restrictions on claims apply to articles as much as to advertisements.
- 4
Publish and distribute
The piece goes live on your site, then out through the channels where your buyers already are.
- 5
Read the enquiries and adjust
Results are reported against the baseline recorded before work began. Topics that brought readers but no enquiries are changed or dropped. How often you are reported to is agreed in writing.
Where this fits
Three pieces of sales work, in this order.
This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.
Step 1
Sales audit
Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.
Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.
Step 2 · you are here
Sales process design
One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.
Start here if every salesperson sells differently.
Step 3
Sales management
A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.
Start here if the team has targets and no routine.
