In the relationship between Attorney and client, there is a huge difference in the level of knowledge and expertise. This can be very intimidating to a potential client. A lot of consumers looking for the help of an attorney are therefore conducting their own legal research, trying to establish a working knowledge of their legal situation.
As an attorney, you already have this knowledge. Having practiced for a while, you also know the key questions and concerns consumers have before and after contacting a lawyer to work on their behalf. So, why not provide a section on your website to address some of the frequently asked questions your clients might have?
How will this help your business?
Your business will benefit in several ways. First, adding relevant content to your website will improve your search engine ranking and the relevance of your site for general search queries. More specific search queries might yield even better results. Long tail keywords, such as full questions, might even return your pages near the top of SERPs. Consumers who find come to your website through a directory or any form of paid advertising are less likely to navigate away from your website. As a result, your ad expenses will yield a higher ROI.
Amy Campbell has posted an article almost a year ago on how you can update your law firm’s website on the cheap:
Add an Informational Offer. Give away some free information that will help establish or confirm your expertise in a given area. For instance, a booklet on “Questions and Answers on Trademarks,” an online quiz on “Licensing for Video Game Developers,” or a PDF pamphlet on “What You Need To Know About Medical Malpractice Law in Vermont.” Doing so engages the visitor, and brings them one step closer to doing business with you. And once you have developed an informational product you can then leverage it in your print advertising and other integrated marketing programs.
