					<description><![CDATA[Yes, your title company can text agents and clients — but text messaging follows a stricter rulebook than email.&#160;Where email marketing is opt-out under CAN-SPAM, SMS marketing is governed by the TCPA, which is&#160;opt-in: you generally need a recipient&#8217;s prior express written consent before sending a marketing text. Get that consent, make opting out easy, [&#8230;]]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Text messages get opened — fast. For the time-sensitive coordination at the heart of a closing, that's enormously valuable. But SMS is also one of the most heavily litigated corners of marketing law, and the rules are different enough from email that good email habits won't keep you compliant. Here's what a title company needs to know before sending a single text. Yes — with consent.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In a referral-driven business, staying in front of the right people is everything — and it's exactly the work that slips when your team is buried in closings. Email marketing automation solves that by doing the consistent, behavior-based follow-up your firm knows it should be doing but rarely has time for. Here's how it works, and how title companies are using it to grow.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[CAN-SPAM is the federal law that governs every commercial email your title company sends&#160;— from agent newsletters to market updates to promotional blasts. Compliance comes down to a short list: tell the truth in your headers and subject lines, disclose that the message is an advertisement, include a real postal address, give recipients an easy [&#8230;]]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Email is still one of the most cost-effective ways for a title company to stay in front of agents, lenders, and past clients. But the same tools that make it easy — Mailchimp, Constant Contact, and the rest — also make it easy to send something that quietly breaks federal law. The good news: CAN-SPAM compliance is straightforward once you understand it. The catch is that staying compliant while…</p>

					<description><![CDATA[The short answer:&#160;Consistency beats volume. For most title companies, a few quality posts a week — roughly three to five per chosen platform — is plenty. A steady, reliable rhythm you can sustain through your busiest closing weeks does far more than a burst of activity followed by months of silence. Posting frequency is where [&#8230;]]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Posting frequency is where good intentions go to die. A firm starts strong, posts daily for two weeks, gets slammed with closings, and goes dark for three months. The fix isn't more effort — it's a sustainable rhythm. Here's how often a title company should actually post, and how to keep it up when work gets busy. The single most important factor isn't how much you post — it'</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What do we even post about?" is the question that stalls most title company social efforts before they start.

The reality is that a title company's audience clusters on a few platforms, and spreading yourself thin across all of them usually means doing none of them well.

Attorney advertising and ethics rules apply to social media just as they apply to any other marketing, and they aren&#8217;t relaxed because a post is casual.

Rules of professional conduct vary by state, and you should confirm any specifics with your jurisdiction's rules and ethics opinions, or with ethics counsel. Social media is one of the best tools a law firm has for building visibility and trust — and one of the easiest places to step on an ethics rule without realizing it.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[The short answer:&#160;The right platforms depend on whom you serve. Firms with business clients (corporate, IP, employment) get the most from LinkedIn; firms with consumer clients (personal injury, family, criminal, estate) usually reach their audience better on Facebook and Instagram. LinkedIn is valuable for nearly every firm for professional credibility and referrals from other attorneys. [&#8230;]]]></description>

The reality is that a law firm's audience clusters on a few platforms, and which ones depend heavily on a single question most firms skip. Answer it first, and the right platforms become obvious.
