Law Firm Marketing

Website as Lead Generation Tool

More and more, prospective clients search for legal resources on the web. What is your current website saying about you? Does it convey the right image about your law firm? It is important that your website includes customer success stories, white papers, webinars and podcasts to showcase your firm’s thought leadership and serve as a resource center to both current and prospective customers. You want people to be continuously visiting your website because it consists of current information that is relevant to your ideal customer segments.

Keyword Searches

A credible, compelling website is like a “billboard in a desert” if your law firm’s site is not showing up on search results. Is your website showing up for the appropriate keyword searches such as “business litigation,” “DUI attorney,” “probate law San Francisco,” etc? An effective SEO strategy must be implemented to ensure that your law firm is prominent on search results for specific keywords.

Position your Brand

As you market your law firm, you must utilize lead nurturing tools that convey thought leadership and professionalism. Customers can be judgmental so all of your law firm’s marketing collateral must convey a compelling brand position. This means all brand messaging, logo, business cards, stationery, brochures, website, social media profiles, etc.

As you meet potential clients or strategic partners at networking events, you are constantly handing out your business card. Something as simple as a business card conveys a message about your law firm. Your business card, along with your attire and “elevator pitch,” will create the first impression about your law firm.

Holistic Approach

Other marketing tactics also help to generate and nurture leads. These tactics include email marketing, social media marketing, blogging, etc. The key is to create content and resources that interest your ideal customer profile. An integrated marketing strategy combining numerous tactics will help identity more ideal leads and turn them into current customers.
