Law Firm Marketing Decoded

For most small law firms, a single website will satisfy your digital marketing needs. In some cases, however, it can be a strategic marketing decision to have multiple websites. Whether you're looking to target specific clientele, gain traction for a particular legal service, or cater to multiple languages, a second (or third) website could help you reach your marketing goals. If you're considering launching an additional website for your law firm, or haven't yet considered this marketing strategy, it's helpful to know all the facts so you can best maximize your time and resources. In this episode of the Law Firm Marketing Decoded podcast, we cover the reasons why you should – or shouldn't – have multiple law firm websites and discuss other considerations for managing multiple sites.

For the typical solo attorney or small law firm, what you need to have a successful law firm website is relatively simple and straightforward. However, it can be difficult to cut through the noise of greedy marketing agencies trying to sell you “quick fixes” or the endless number of self-help digital marketing resources for attorneys. In reality, there are three main pillars that make up an effective online presence: Good user experience, clear messaging, and mobile-friendly design. In this podcast series, we take you through an in-depth exploration of each of these three pillars so that you can feel confident in your ability to achieve the success you wish to see from your website.  To listen to episode one, User Experience, click here.

For our final pillar of powerful law firm websites, this episode of the Law Firm Marketing Decoded podcast discusses Mobile-Friendly Design.  

In order to have an effective online presence for your law firm, you need to first understand what your website needs to be successful. Attorneys who are new to digital marketing can be vulnerable to predatory marketing agencies who tend to overcomplicate website management in order to sell you on pricey and unnecessary services. Oftentimes, their goal is to make your firm dependent on their services rather than to educate you on how you can achieve a powerful online presence easily and affordably. As a result, many attorneys find themselves stuck with agencies who don't have their firm's growth as their #1 priority.  Fortunately, digital marketing for attorneys doesn't have to be complicated, secretive, or time-consuming. At LawLytics, we take pride in educating our members on how you can reach your growth goals using your law firm's website and without having to stretch your budget. In this blog series, we cover the three pillars of powerful law firm websites so that you can get a better understanding of what your website needs – and what it doesn't.  To listen to our first episode of this three-part podcast series where we discuss User Experience, click here. In this episode of the Law Firm Marketing Decoded podcast, we discuss pillar two of our three pillars of powerful law firm websites: Clear Branding and Messaging.  

In today's digital age of running a practice, a law firm's website needs to be more than just a website in order to be effective. Today, potential clients expect to learn more about your firm, their legal issue, and potential solutions all within your firm's website. What's more, your clients expect a landing place for answers to their questions and other helpful resources they may need while working with you.  There seems to be no shortage of advice, tips, and best practices for attorneys to follow when it comes to managing their online presence, but in reality, there are three key things that every successful website has in common: Good user experience, clear messaging, and mobile-friendly design.  In this three-part Law Firm Marketing Decoded podcast series, we will be taking an in-depth look at each of the three pillars of powerful law firm websites individually. Listen here to learn about our first pillar of powerful law firm websites: User Experience.  

Google Analytics (GA4) offers a lot of data, and you get it all for “free” simply by creating an account. That said, to sort through all these reports and find what you need is intimidating even for experienced marketers. GA4 is saturated with potential data points and loaded with customizable options that you could spend days (if not months) configuring. In this episode of the Law Firm Marketing Decoded podcast, we share with you the right type of data to track including user acquisition, user attributes, demographic details, user engagement, and user devices. We also provide a smart solution to solo attorneys and small law firms who lack the time or technical capabilities to set up all the many reports in Google Analytics, which can be a daunting and confusing task for anyone without specialized training. Tip: Refer to our blog to learn how to access the various reports we discuss throughout the podcast.

Marketing agencies frequently tout hits, clicks, or impressions as the ultimate indicators of marketing success. However, solo attorneys and small law firms typically need a more specialized marketing approach that doesn't fit the standard digital marketing strategies. Focusing on localized, targeted marketing while maintaining a modest budget is usually the most effective strategy for small law firms. In this episode of the Law Firm Marketing Decoded podcast, we will be discussing the importance of quality leads for legal marketing and the four steps to better quality leads for your law firm.

Acquiring new leads consistently, affordably, and reliably is one of the biggest challenges facing lawyers today. Most potential clients turn to search engines such as Google to find legal services and conduct legal research, yet it can be difficult to know exactly how to get in front of your ideal client online. Enter: The promise of Google's paid advertising services. For many, it can be advantageous to pursue paid advertising tactics to get a leg up on the local competition and makes for effective pairing with their law firm website. However, for solo attorneys and small law firms, it's crucial to their marketing strategy to ensure that every advertising dollar is used efficiently or else it should be reconsidered. In this episode of the Law Firm Marketing Decoded podcast, we will be discussing the risks and consequences of paid advertising, an analysis of Google Ads versus Local Services Ads (LSAs), and an argument for ad-free, content-based SEO legal marketing.  

OpenAI's ChatGPT remains the front-runner in AI tech and has been hailed as a game-changer across industries as the ultimate tool many lawyers can't live or work without. From assisting in legal tasks to generating law blogs in seconds, ChatGPT has made its mark on the workplace.  However, generative AI is not perfect. In fact, one critical thing it can't do for us is something critical to law firm marketing: Creating connections with potential clients. Legal services – whether you advise startup businesses, represent criminal defendants, or negotiate divorce settlements – are all about serving individuals, businesses, and other entities.  To serve most effectively and obtain favorable outcomes, lawyers need to connect with their clients by putting themselves in their clients' shoes. In doing so, you can come to understand what they are experiencing and, subsequently, provide what they need. When this connection is conveyed in your website content, it has the power to convert leads. To connect in this way, however, requires an emotional element. Generative AI lacks empathy – it is not yet capable of expressing or inciting emotion.  In this episode of the Law Firm Marketing Decoded podcast, we explore why empathic and emotional-based law firm website content is important and provide tips on how to create and benefit from it.  

Our obsession with efficiency has skyrocketed in recent years with the help of technology, hustle culture, and various “life hacks” shared on social media. While these are all tools designed to save time, society as a whole only seems to get busier and busier.  Regardless of the industry, it's a common goal among business owners to find a harmonious balance between their work life and their personal life, and attorneys are no exception. Legal professionals have also begun evaluating the way they work in favor of leaving outdated, inefficient practices in the past. Remote work was once perceived as a solution to this life-work balance, but now it is on the decline overall. But here is where an exception may apply to the legal field. Solo and small law firms have a growing opportunity to take advantage of resources that can transition their practice from an expensive office-only model to a remote or hybrid model. Armed with the right tools and tech, attorneys across practice areas can improve their operations, dedicate more focus to delivering high-quality service to their clients, and scale their business – all while working less. In this episode of the Law Firm Marketing Decoded podcast, we'll explore the benefits of adapting a remote or hybrid model for your business, how your law firm's website can work harder for you by becoming the epicenter of your business, and finding the best tech to complement your law firm website.

As a solo attorney or small law firm, you can use AI to assist with tasks like reviewing, creating, proofreading, organizing, and analyzing contracts and other legal documents. It's also used to conduct legal research and review documents for discovery, referred to as technology-assisted review also known as (TAR).  When AI is employed properly and strategically, the benefits are many for your law practice. It can help you save time producing high-quality work and in turn reduce your work-related stress. For one, attorneys are already using artificial intelligence to write blogs, a popular marketing technique. You can also go one step further to get ahead of the competition: You can optimize your blogs and other law firm website content for AI searches. By doing so, your content will be ready for GEO, which may be soon taking over SEO. In this episode of the Law Firm Marketing Decoded podcast, we'll be discussing what the latter means and how to accomplish optimization for AI-generated searches.  

New tech and tools for attorneys and business owners are released yearly, and it's true that it can be difficult and expensive to keep up. But while every new technology may not be the best fit for your law practice, it's important to your firm's growth to stay up-to-date on tech that can help you streamline your processes and boost productivity.  In this episode of the Law Firm Marketing Decoded podcast, we discuss tips on choosing the right tools and tech for your business, how you can balance empathy with automation in a digital world, and four website features you should consider for your firm's website.  

What's the difference between a scroller and a multi-page law firm website? Oftentimes, agencies will offer attorneys a "free" website in exchange for buying into their marketing or legal management services. These websites are typically scrollers, which are one-page websites, and they are pretty common on the Internet. The question then becomes: Does this "free" law firm website perform? Or, are they just a ploy to attract new clients to the agency but, in the end, cost you more resources than anticipated (or budgeted)? In this episode of the Law Firm Marketing Decoded podcast, we explore the pros and cons of single- versus multi-page websites, what they do, and how they perform on search. Then, we identify and discuss two factors that really matter about your law firm website's role in bringing in new clients and growing your law practice, and how single- versus multi-page websites impact or interact with these two factors.

What is a digital badge, and do I need one for my law firm website? This is a question we're often asked by our attorney-members.  Typically, the badge signifies a type of honor or membership in a group. Some of the badges are available for purchase (even though they are technically awards), and others are available for free. In this episode of the Law Firm Marketing Decoded podcast, we discuss digital badges, how you can quickly and easily display your firm's badges on your LawLytics website, and how to focus on what matters when it comes to displaying your expertise on your website.  

Brainstorming, writing, and editing blogs for your law firm website can take a significant amount of time – especially if you're also running a business. That's why many attorneys are turning to tech to help them save time creating high-quality content for their website. With its ability to generate large amounts of human-like text in a conversational manner, ChatGPT has become a popular choice for efficiently creating digital marketing assets such as website content, blogs, articles, and more. In this episode of the Law Firm Marketing Decoded podcast, we cover three different types of legal blog prompts that you can try with ChatGPT for your law firm website today.

For many attorneys, achieving a digital presence that actively works to drive business to their practice feels like a far-off goal. However, there are a few tried and tested web design practices that make a significant difference – without significant effort.  In this episode of the Law Firm Marketing Decoded podcast, we're going to take a look into what the impact of a high-quality user experience is for your potential clients, three website design elements to avoid, and what your website really needs to succeed on Google in 2024.  

The most successful lawyers know it's important to strategize their firm's growth and set their business goals each year. It's not too late to hit the ground running in 2024, and now is an excellent time to assess the current state of your law firm's web marketing and set your goals for the remainder of the year. In this episode of the Law Firm Marketing Decoded podcast, we'll be talking about how you can audit your 2023 marketing progress, how you can make the most of the marketing assets you already own and control, and three tips for growing your law firm in 2024.

The way we all pay for things has changed. From apps that split our lunch bills to touchless payments using our cell phones, every modern consumer has experienced the luxury of choice when it comes to payments. Solo attorneys and small law firms can capitalize on this trend by offering online modern payment options, too. In turn, you may just boost your revenue and save some time. In this episode of the Law Firm Marketing Decoded podcast, we take a look into how your law firm website can be more than just a website, an argument for why your law firm website should have an online payment system, and some things to consider when implementing an online payment solution.

Blogging presents a powerful opportunity for attorneys to showcase their expertise, build credibility, and connect directly with their target audience. Countless potential clients are searching for answers to their legal questions every day, and a well-written, robust blog can greatly impact your firm's ability to stand out from the competition. In this episode of the Law Firm Marketing Decoded podcast, we'll be reviewing the top reasons your firm should be blogging, tips and best practices for better blogging, and how you can get started blogging with LawLytics.

It has been said over and over again how important a website is to the success of a business. This reality applies to a hair salon as much as it does to a law firm. For small law firms specifically, a website allows you to show off your legal credentials, target potential clients, build your brand, grow your law practice, and grab a larger share of the market.  With so much at stake, it is hard to believe that so many solo attorneys and small law firms relinquish control of their websites to an agency. By doing so, certain updates and changes may not be timely addressed, creating potentially serious repercussions.  In this episode of the Law Firm Marketing Decoded podcast, we discuss the top reasons why you – as a solo attorney or small law firm – should never relinquish control of your website to an agency. And if you have, we tell you how to regain control in the most judicious way possible.

With recent advancements in AI-powered software, business professionals have flocked to AI tech such as ChatGPT for their digital marketing content needs. With its ability to generate large amounts of human-like text in a conversational manner, ChatGPT has become a popular choice for efficiently creating digital marketing assets such as website content, blogs, articles, and more. For busy lawyers, it can be difficult to find the time to consistently research, produce, and publish blog content that works to attract more potential clients to their website. That's why many solos and small law firms are turning to tech to achieve a greater volume of content in less time. However, in its current state, ChatGPT fails to be a plug-and-play solution for attorneys, and instead, it requires a degree of oversight in order to produce high-quality blog content. In this episode of the Law Firm Marketing Decided podcast, we discuss the risks and limitations of using ChatGPT for your digital marketing, an overview of the various applications of ChatGPT, what to include in your ChatGPT prompt for optimal output, and a step-by-step example of how you can use ChatGPT to produce a high-quality legal blog.

How can I increase my law firm's online presence? It's a question we hear so often from attorneys. This question is on the minds of many small law firms and solo attorneys who are either starting out or trying to grow their practice. It's also a question that requires a thoughtful, strategic response because the answer is multi-faceted and includes a professional website, strong written content, and a strategy to incorporate and reach potential clients.  If you ask Google the same question, it'll generate paid ads and user-generated web pages that it believes address the question. In many cases, Google also provides a feature on its search engine results page (SERP) in the form of a box of additional questions, known as People Also Ask (PAA), meant to clarify, deepen, or expand search queries.  In this episode of the Law Firm Marketing Decoded podcast, we take a look at some ways to help your law firm optimize the benefits of People Also Ask so that you can develop your online presence and, as part of the process, convert more leads to clients.  

Effective law firm websites are built to be informative and generate new business for your firm. Your potential clients have likely found your firm's website because they are dealing with an important legal issue and they are looking for guidance on what steps, if any, they should take next. As an attorney, you should focus on elements of your website that easily convey who you are and who you help so potential clients can feel confident in their decision to hire you. That being said, a fast-loading, responsive website is an absolute must for attorneys. If your website is slow to load or difficult to use on a mobile device or tablet, potential clients may abandon your site.  In this episode of the Law Firm Marketing Decoded podcast, we're going to be covering the four signs that your website is mobile-friendly, and the two biggest indications that you may need a new law firm website. If you would like to set your website up in Google Search Console Tools to perform a mobile usability test, click here.

Since its release, Google's new generative AI search tool, also known as Google SGE, has had a major impact on the way users interact with the search engine. Shifting away from Google as we knew it in the past where keywords reigned supreme, Google SGE supports – and even encourages – a conversational tone for search queries. For small law firms, a strong online presence is vital in attracting potential clients and establishing credibility. However, in an ever-changing digital landscape, it can be difficult to know what you need to be doing to adapt to new enhancements in technology.  In this episode of the Law Firm Marketing Decoded podcast, we will be going over a comprehensive guide of essential strategies for attorneys to maintain their law firm website's competitive advantage in the age of Google SGE.

If you're a frequent user of Google's search engine, you've likely noticed the ever-growing presence of paid advertisements on search results. It's no secret that these top advertising spots tend to cost a lot of money for businesses to purchase and upkeep. Because of this, it can be daunting for solos and small law firms to strategize how to keep up with their local competitors without sinking all of their marketing dollars into ads. As a small business owner, a minimal – or nonexistent – paid advertising budget is not a death sentence for your site's search engine visibility. Instead, attorneys simply need to approach digital marketing strategy differently than their deep-pocketed competitors.  In this episode of the Law Firm Marketing Decoded podcast, we review the difference between organic versus paid web traffic, the cons of paid advertising for small law firms, the fundamentals of content-based SEO, and how you can begin to incorporate a paid advertising strategy into your current digital marketing budget.

In response to the growing popularity of ChatGPT and other numerous AI tools, Google has thrown their hat into the ring with the addition of an AI-powered search generative experience for its users earlier this year. To compete with the information exchange that is experienced when using AI softwares such as ChatGPT, Google aims to "reduce the number of steps it takes for the searcher to accomplish a task or complete a goal with this new tool." When considering the primary goal of your law firm website, which is to deliver information and give potential clients a way to get in touch, it prompts us to wonder: what can lawyers learn from Google's latest tool? In this episode of the Law Firm Marketing Decoded podcast, we will review the basics of Google's generative AI search tool, which I will be referring to as Google SGE, and explore how lawyers can take a page from Google's playbook to improve the conversion power of their law firm website.

It's no secret that people trust people who they like or know, and so when a person suggests a particular lawyer or law firm, their friends, family members, and social media followers tend to listen.  This is what we call social proof –– the idea that certain societal norms exist, and to act within those norms, people make decisions based on the decisions of others.  Social proof is important for lawyers for a very simple reason: It works. When lawyers, especially solo attorneys and small law firms, successfully leverage social proof, their caseload simultaneously increases. Aside from this direct impact, social proof plays an important part in establishing credibility and trust, which Google and other search engines use to rank pages.  In this episode of the Law Firm Marketing Decoded podcast, we outline what you can do to build social proof for your solo or small law firm practice.

Your firm's visibility on search engines is key to showing up in the relevant and local search results of potential clients. Visibility can be determined by a few different things such as website clicks, page ranking, website traffic, and more, and there are several factors that contribute to your website's visibility on search engines. So, what are these behind-the-scenes optimizations, and how can you be sure that your website is working as hard as it should be? In this podcast, we will be outlining the various search engine visibility elements that contribute to your law firm website's success with search engine optimization and how LawLytics can help you to achieve results for your practice.

Search engine optimization, or SEO, for your law firm's website is the product of multiple sustained efforts to deliver a high-quality website to your web visitors. Generally, attorneys understand that high-quality written content and a modern, attractive web design can help your website perform better on search.  However, in order to take your website to the next level of search engine visibility, there are other factors that can contribute to better SEO for your site. In this episode of the Law Firm Marketing Decoded podcast, we will be covering major aspects of your website that contribute to a better user experience for your potential clients and how LawLytics handles these elements for you. 

If you're on the pursuit for better search engine visibility for your law firm website, you likely know that search engine optimization, or SEO,  is what will help you reach your digital marketing goals.  For most, it's understood that to achieve sustained SEO for your website you need to have written content that is high-quality and easy to find on search. But, what about all the technical aspects of SEO that are considered “under the hood” when it comes to having a successful website?  In this episode of the Law Firm Marketing Decoded podcast, we will be outlining the technical website must-haves that contribute to your law firm website's success with search engine optimization and how, with LawLytics, you can reach your digital marketing goals faster and easier.

Reviews can be very impactful to your law firm's digital presence. Not only do reviews serve as essential points of social proof, they can also be used to manage your reputation as an attorney. Whether a potential client is evaluating if you're the best fit for them or they're trying to compare their available options, a positive review can make or break your conversion. Sometimes, however, a review can be negative.  Listen to our latest Law Firm Marketing Decoded podcast for the first steps you should take if you have received a negative Google review and tips for getting more positive reviews for your practice.

Threads is the newest social media on the scene and has many attorneys wondering: Should I, a solo or small law firm, be on Threads? Threads was created by Meta, IG's parent company, and it offers a Twitter-like experience that promises new opportunities to connect, engage, and be a part of a new era of social media. Since its release, so many individuals, brands, and businesses have jumped on the chance to establish themselves on the new platform. In our latest Law Firm Marketing Decoded podcast, we will be providing you with an overview of Threads, how you can use Threads for your small law firm marketing, and 5 things to ask yourself before joining on.

For many industries, a potential customer will pass through a series of checkpoints before they make a decision to purchase. These checkpoints are the stages that make up a marketing funnel and they generally follow a logical order from the awareness of a business to eventually the purchase of a product or service.  Although these stages tend to occur organically for most client journeys, a business can optimize their marketing funnel to improve its effectiveness and drive more sales.  For attorneys, optimizing their legal content marketing funnel can result in a more aligned client base and a better lead-to-client conversion.  Listen to our latest Law Firm Marketing Decoded podcast for more information on legal content marketing funnels, their essential functions, and the four stages of an effective legal content marketing funnel.

As a small business owner, you likely rely on certain people or tools to help you run your day to day and to help you consistently driving business for you. Not only can your law firm website be your #1 tool for achieving these objectives, but it can also be your strongest employee. It's true that your website is both your best salesperson and most reliable employee. It works 24/7/365 to drive business to your law firm without a single complaint or objection. Plus, it's probably doing all of that with a great degree of accuracy at a lower cost. So, when you start to think of your website as an invaluable employee, it may make you wonder what you can do to help your website operate at its fullest potential.  Listen to our latest episode of the Law Firm Marketing Decoded podcast where we will be covering how you can maximize the conversion power of your law firm website using four key tactics.

In our latest Law Firm Marketing Decoded podcast, we'll be reviewing five unethical marketing agency tactics to look out for and how to know you're with a trusted digital partner.

The content on your law firm website doesn't just need to be high quality, but it should work to target the right potential clients. It's a very common misconception that attorneys need to appeal to a broad audience with their website content to attract as much traffic as possible. However, a broader content approach can have the opposite effect for law firm websites.    One of the best ways to make sure your content is reaching the right audience, your ideal potential client, is to create client personas. Listen to this episode of the Law Firm Marketing Decoded podcast where we'll be reviewing why attorneys benefit from creating client personas and the motivation behind creating more than one client persona.

Many solo attorneys and small law firms fail to brand themselves.
