The holiday season is upon us and as an attorney, there is no better time to show your clients how much you care. Letting them know that you are thinking of them – even just by sending handwritten note – can go a long way. Without loyal clients, it would be very difficult to have a successful law practice, so it is certainly worth your time to wish them well around the holidays.
Generating leads online is one of the most affordable digital marketing options for firms of all sizes, particularly ones with small marketing budgets that cannot afford to pay for TV commercials or billboards across a city. One of the biggest challenges attorneys grapple with is just how long to make a digital intake form.
On one hand, a longer form will give you far more information about a potential client. On the other, a shorter firm should yield higher conversions. Here are some tips to help you create the best contact form for your firm’s needs:
While some individuals will be awaiting your office’s call, others might be slightly thrown off seeing “Law office” on their cell phone at 9:30 AM on a Monday morning.

Most law firms today invest time in search engine optimization, or SEO. SEO is one of the best ways to increase your caseload without paying the sky-high prices of legal keywords on Google AdWords. Unfortunately, there are hundreds of factors that go into determining which law firms rank well on Google. One factor you may not have considered is the site structure of your website and whether you use breadcrumbs.
Online lead generation is one of the most profitable ways to sign more clients to your firm. Unfortunately, you may find that even after you toil over PPC keyword bids and high-quality blog posts, you’re still not generating any leads. Here are 5 reasons why your digital marketing efforts may not yield as many clients as you’d like:
70% of business callers are placed on hold for some period of time. Of those placed on hold, around 60% end the call when they are put on-hold and there is no message or music. Of that 60%, 30% won’t even call back.
If you don’t give the potential claimants who are put on-hold a reason to stay on the phone and give them hope of talking to a representative from your firm, they’ll likely hang up. You could be losing out on cases for an inadequate on-hold message or not having one at all. When adding an on-hold message, keep the following tips in mind:
