Content Audits: What Our Editor Looks For (2025 Update)

Providing Content to Your Website Team

Supplying content for new pages or updated verbiage to existing pages is a crucial step in the web development process and often the biggest hang-up to progress. To help you finalize your website content and provide complete information, we have included a list of things that we will check once you send it. Use your material – keep these points in mind as you complete your writing and organizing.

General

  • Does the content you provided match the site structure exactly (page order)?
  • Is there content for every page of the website (or are there missing pages)?
  • Are links and developer notes highlighted?
  • Are pages separated with a page break?
  • Are the names of pages consistent? (For example, a page called Commercial Litigation in the site structure should not become Civil Litigation on another page.)
  • Are URLs for any desired links noted?
  • Does the text contain any duplicate content?
  • Do all the hyperlinks function properly and open to a working webpage?

Home Page

  • Are there enough blog posts to pull into the appropriate widgets?
  • Is there information for any pull out boxes (case studies, testimonials)
  • Are the URLs for social media links included?
  • If the home page features videos, is the URL available?

Attorney Bio Pages

  • Do the practice areas listed match the actual practice areas on the site structure?
  • Does each person have contact information?
  • Are they in the correct order (alpha, seniority)?
  • If there are tabs, do they meet the word count and number requirements set forth by design?
  • Where are the v-cards coming from? If development is creating them, leave a note.

Practice Areas

  • Are the related attorneys provided (this varies based on the design)?
  • Is all other designated information provided (industries, articles, representative transactions, if applicable)?
  • Is there a clearly distinguishable h1 and h2 (header 1, header 2) for each page?

Blog Posts

  • Is there an author, blog title and category for each post?
  • Please make a note about the desired publication date, if necessary/important
  • If posts are being pulled from another site, is the URL provided?

Miscellaneous

  • Is there disclaimer text?
  • If the text or certain pages will appear in other languages, has the translated content been provided?
