by Dale Harris
Busses and benches had their time, but now the internet is the best place to reach potential clients. What promotional strategies can you use to get people to your legal website?
Legal marketers face many issues, but increasing your online presence can solve them.
This article will give you strategies to expand the reach of your legal website. Once you get more traffic, you can start converting those leads into paying clients.
Take a look at your current marketing strategy, and let’s get into improvements.
Mobile Optimization
So many companies optimize their websites for mobile users now that people expect it. They’ll go to another website if yours isn’t optimized.
Create a responsive design for your website. That will analyze what device the visitor is using and adjust the layout accordingly.
Google favors websites that take usability into consideration. Proper mobile optimization improves your SEO scores.
Content Marketing
If you’ve read an informative blog, you’re benefitting from content marketing.
Unlike invasive, annoying advertisements, content marketing focuses on providing value to the consumer. With informative blogs, you can create a helpful reputation with potential clients.
Content marketing also improves your SEO scores by building links and keywords.
Content marketing is over 60% less expensive than other promotional strategies. Plus, it generates three times the leads.
Overall, it provides valuable information and directs them towards your legal site. That’ll generate more leads than pestering them with ads.
Social Media
Social media is vital to spreading your online presence. You’ve nailed down your audience, so research which social media outlets they use.
The legal industry can confuse the average person. Social media is a great way to answer their questions with valuable information.
This also gives them an outlet to share great experiences with your law firm.
You want to engage people. Consider asking for their opinions on hot button topics related to your services.
Be Accessible
In the era of everything online and on-demand, clients want 24/7 access to you. If they’re looking at your website or social media, they want you to answer their questions right away.
One of the best promotional strategies is referrals. Provide a website experience your clients will happily refer.
For example, industry leader Babcock Partners has a live chat function on their website. If clients have questions, Babcock Partners can answer immediately.
Automated Promotional Strategies
Your marketing team shouldn’t waste their time sending out hundreds of emails. Automate your marketing process anywhere you can.
Many services exist to send out emails automatically. That way, leads get a prompt welcoming email when they sign up for your email list.
You can also program automated social media posts. Your team can spend more time replying to comments than posting.
Pulling it All Together
Promoting your legal website involves a complete presence on the internet.
You can’t just blast people with ads and expect traffic. With tactics like a social media presence and content marketing, you can generate organic traffic to your website.
