Three Tips To Make The Most Of Your Attorney Marketing Internet Campaign

You’re fooling yourself if you don’t see the web is replacing old-guard marketing that law firms used to use like yellow books, newspapers & even TV in some regions. The web is by far the best place for clever Lawyer Marketing experts to get the internet clients over other attorneys in their local geography. Don’t worry, if you haven’t started marketing your firm on the internet yet, you haven’t totally missed out. Here are strong suggestions to get you going:

1. Don’t Wait Any Longer – SEO Now. Start to SEO your website. You are invisible to people looking specifically for you every day. There are truly thousands of searches every month by someone looking for a DUI Attorney (or what you practice) in San Diego (or your city). Bottom line, you need to be found on the search engines, ideally the first page. That is what SEO does for you. If done well, SEO will get you on the top for the most-searched phrases internet users are typing in to find a lawyer.

2. Spend The Money For A Pro In Legal SEO – Yes, there are many things that you can do on your own to help your cause, but there is only so much improving of your meta tags, improving your headings, bolding your text and other simple optimization techniques you can do yourself. Why do people hire you? Because you know what you are doing. Whatever money you spend on a good SEO Consultant for Law Firms is money well spent. But do your research. Don’t just hire a local company who says they ‘know’ optimization. Make sure they are good at optimizing legal websites, as lawyer sites are very competitive and difficult to get on page one.

3. Invest in A Quality Website – Think like an Attorney Marketing Professional. Don’t get a low-quality website here. You are fighting with other firms who know the value of getting clients from the internet. Think of your site as a something to bring you clients. The true purpose of your lawyer marketing is to get them to email or call you. And don’t just focus on the people who are looking for you on Google and don’t know who you are yet, but make sure you keep the people who do know who you are!

Do the people you’re looking to hire have an optimized site? Go to Google and type in Attorney Marketing, or Lawyer SEO. If their own web site shows up for those highly-searched lawyer marketing terms, then they probably have the ability to get your web site ranked high too. Depending on your city and practice area, (some like Criminal are more competitive than others) you could expect to pay thousands of dollars a month or more for a good SEO professional. If all those searchers are looking for you, would you get at least 1 to 2 clients a month? What would you make from cases like that?

A potential client is pointed in your direction, where are they going to go to look YOU up? Correct! The internet! So when they type your name into Bing, make sure what they see is something you are proud of. The last thing you want is for a referral to be so disinterested with your site that once they find you, they go back to Google and find your competitors.
