Estate Planning & Probate SEO Checklist

Quick answer

The highest-priority items for estate planning firms: answer "do I need a will or a trust, and what happens if I do nothing" directly on the site, build out will-vs-trust comparison pages, and fix the industry's most common gap — no clear will-vs-trust comparison, which is the single question most people are actually trying to resolve before they call anyone.
