Seasonal Blogs To Attract Leads and Enhance Your Brand
Seasonal content related to celebrating holidays and other annual events can be an effective tool for directing traffic to your website and enhancing goodwill in the local community.

A visitor becomes a lead when they call your office or leave you their contact information. That’s why you’ll want to feature your phone number prominently on all website pages and blogs. It’s also important to provide submission forms for visitors who may not have time to call your office.
The most effective seasonal content will focus on topics that relate directly to services that your law firm provides, such as DUIs caused by seasonal drinking, injuries that occur during holiday weekends, and visitation and custody issues that come up during Christmas and summer breaks.
