Landing Space: The Value of Non-Website Webpages

For many law firms, just getting one website across the finish line is a monumental accomplishment – which is not untrue, by the way.  Getting over that single hurdle, however, is usually how it starts – and, how it ends. 

 

Of course, there’s more that you can do online, beyond just publishing & managing your garden variety law firm website. 



 

Consider the humble content page, for example.  A website that is focused entirely on content related to one of your practice areas, can perform really well in organic search.  Load that sucker up with various types of focused content, grab a descriptive and focused url – and, it’s game on. 

 

Now, if you start paying for advertising, you’ll build a ‘landing page’ for those ads, which is another form of a website – one that is specifically focused on the sales proposition for those lead types. 

 

Practically speaking, you should also treat your social media and directory profiles, as websites – because that’s kind of what they are: predesigned, themed websites, for which you can add & edit content. 

 

It’s time to think of your web presence, in a more holistic manner.

Less Is More: Why Targeted Marketing Is So Important for Law Firms

Image
Let me be clear: your job as a lawyer is NOT to be the next  Andrew Carnegie .   That’s in part because law firms are inherently geographically - limited business es  -- in the main.   What’s to stop Wal-mart from opening another location across the state line?  Essentially nothing.  What’s to stop a law firm from doing the same thing?  Well, another bar exam passage (or waive-in process), for one.  For another, there may be restrictive rules relating to physical office space requirements for law firms, as well as a host of other protectionist measures to keep out-of-state lawyers, well . . . out of state.  Then there’s the practical difficulty of managing various ethics rules regimes, for each state you locate an office (virtual or otherwise) in.   Because most law firms are still referral-based busines ses,  they rely heavily on local connections.  Usually the big kahuna at a law firm is going to be out and a...

At Odds: Owners Want AI Cost Savings, Employees Need Upskilling

Image
If you own a law firm, there’s a lot to like about AI .  It can make you way more efficient, without adding staff .  Take a darker view, and AI means that you can potentially let go of current staff, in favor of an AI tool (or, tools ), that can replace existing staff .  Now, of course, your employees aren’t dumb – you wouldn’t have hired them, if they were – and, they realize this .  This set of circumstances , of course, creates a problem: Why would your employees use AI, if they know that it’s going to be used to replace them ?  Would you?     So, how do you – as a business owner – incentive your employees to use AI ?  Well, your staff wants upskilling training .  If they are effectively being asked to offload a portion of their job responsibilities to an artificial intelligence, they’ll want to replace that skillset with another .  For those employees to continue to justify their roles, they know and understand that their...
