We started working with ProVisors in 2020. The ask was simple—syndicate blogs from their 9,000+ members onto a dedicated Thought Leadership site. Today that site has more than 20,000 posts from over 800 contributors, and the way content gets there has changed quite a bit.
Blog syndication via RSS is still the backbone. But plenty of ProVisors members don’t maintain a blog. They still have expertise worth sharing—they just didn’t have a place to put it.
So we built one.

Members can now submit individual posts through a dedicated form on the Thought Leadership site. They write their piece, fill in their details and submit. Here’s how it works from there:
- After an editorial review, we set up their author profile and publish the post. They’re on the platform, just like that—no blog required.
- Once that first post is approved, members can receive credentials to log directly into the platform and author future posts themselves.
- Their submissions still go through a pending review before publication, but they’re writing and publishing on the same platform their peers use. No more trading emails and Word docs.
Most members still use the submission form, and that works great. But for those who want to publish regularly, direct platform access turns a one-time contribution into an ongoing publishing relationship.
That’s a meaningful shift—both for the contributor and for the community.

ProVisors serves all kinds of trusted advisors—not just lawyers. The content on the Thought Leadership site covers everything from tax strategy to business consulting to insurance.
But mixed in are pieces of substantive legal analysis. That content belongs in the LexBlog Library.
Identifying which posts qualify used to be entirely manual. Someone on our team would review submissions one by one. It worked, but it didn’t scale, and it was easy for good content to slip through the cracks.
Now, we’ve automated it.
When a post comes in, the system:
- Determines whether the author is a lawyer—even when they haven’t self-identified as one, which happens more often than you’d think.
- Screens the content against our editorial standards to distinguish practitioner-authored legal analysis from marketing material.
- Routes qualifying posts to the LexBlog Library automatically. Posts in a gray area get flagged for a human to review.
No copy-paste. No manual handoff. The right content finds its way to the right place.
Right now, this applies to single post submissions. The same detection and routing for RSS-fed blog content is actively in development.

We’re already bringing this same model—single post submissions feeding into the library through automated screening—to our state bar association portals.
What started as a ProVisors-specific workflow is becoming a template for how LexBlog connects professional communities to the broader legal content ecosystem.
It’s a good example of what happens when you layer technology thoughtfully on top of a process that already works. The submission form, the contributor credentials, the AI-powered routing—each piece makes the experience better for the people contributing content while reducing the manual work on our end.
That’s how we think it should work.
