Law Firm websites are generally to maintain and boost reputation
- Not about the info on the website, but more testimonials, event appearances, noting what type of cases you’ve dealt with and how without telling them the specifics
There is a fine line between SEO Based and Content-Based websites
Karin states that there is so much more to just having a website, you need to be able to attract traffic and gain the client’s confidence
Websites are:
- First impression
- Clients validation
- Businesses messaging
- Brand Experience
- Design
Make sure you are where your clients will be; go to the local event, do the public speaking.
Borrow someones else’s audience in the field you are working on – go on their podcast, have them promote and publish your blog post, you will grow your following that way.
Karin noted that the clients she started to attract once she switched from price-based to strategy-based were astonishing, they were better to deal with, there were always fewer complications, and her business was finally able to start flourishing.
Have your clientele note the value you bring to the table
Pinterest is surprising a great platform for people to leverage their business on – It is a search engine which is why it is unlike all other social media tools
Being Present is something that Karin feels is still a good thing to be, traditional marketing has not died yet and it still has an impact
