The recommendation
A scalable probate search system for Alix.
Start with California, validate the page system, then expand across states and high-intent probate needs.
01 · The opportunity
The research is complete. Now we turn it into pages.
The official-source layer exists, with publication readiness controlled field by field.
California gives us one focused canary before we expand the system.
Probate is the search doorway. Alix remains the end-to-end estate-settlement service, with legal support included.
02 · The V1
Show the experience—not another research table.
California package
Two connected page types.
The state guide answers the broader probate journey. The cost page owns the detailed cost question and routes readers to the next useful step.
- California probate guide
- California probate cost page
- Official sources and review dates
- Internal links, schema, CTA, and indexation rules
How much does probate cost in California?
A source-controlled page that separates court and filing fees from the broader cost of probate and estate settlement.
03 · The rollout
Prove one system, then expand with intent.
California V1
Complete the state guide and cost system, then secure content and implementation approval.
Lawyer support
Add the strongest commercial intent while explaining how licensed counsel fits within Alix.
State expansion
Release a 5–10-state pilot and add small-estate, timeline, fee, and forms pages where sources are complete.
Counties and cities
Build local pages only where search demand and official local information justify a standalone resource.
04 · The safeguard
Every page must earn the right to be indexed.
Official facts
Courts, fees, thresholds, forms, deadlines, and terminology come from current government or court sources.
Useful local difference
The page must change the reader’s understanding or next action—not merely swap a location name.
Controlled publication
Incomplete or duplicative pages remain in draft or noindex until their evidence is complete.
Measured rollout
Indexation, query growth, engagement, consultation actions, and lead quality determine the next batch.
05 · The decision
Approve California as the implementation-ready V1.
By Friday, the commitment is the California state-guide and cost-page system—not multiple live states. That gives Alix one complete page system to approve before controlled expansion.
California first. Review the experience. Approve the system. Then scale.
