Charm New Clients by Showcasing Your Attorneys
A picture could be worth a thousand words, but only if you use the right one. Remember, many clients are scared to enter a courtroom, and nothing increases that anxiety more than working with a faceless law firm. If they are browsing your website and all they find are vague stock photos or wide shots of your office, that’s exactly what you are presenting.

Watch Out for Copyright Scams and Phishing Emails
Email scams are nothing new to anyone running a website. Our email clients typically filter out such phishing schemes into spam folders and promptly delete them each month, but scammers have become more sophisticated over the years. Nowadays, many try to mask themselves as “professionals” and can create detailed facades to make website owners think they are legitimate.

Creating a Posting Calendar for Your Firm’s Social Media Accounts
While law firms are not the first thing people think about when they log onto Facebook or Twitter, having an active social media presence can be advantageous to your marketing efforts in the long run. Building accounts for your firm can allow you to stay engaged with your local community, share client reviews and case results, and even connect with new clients. You may already have a business account for your firm, but are not sure where to start building traffic. That is why we advise lawyers and firms to first plan out their posts ahead of time so that they can focus on a long-term strategy for their marketing goals.

Making the Right First Impressions With Your Website’s Design
There is nothing like a strong first impression, especially when it comes to web design. When a potential client clicks on your website, they’re checking to see if you are the right attorney for them. But online users can make split-second decisions about a law firm based just a quick glance at a landing page, meaning you only have a blink of an eye to grab their attention. How will you do that? Well, it all comes down to a proper introduction.

A Long-Term View of SEO (and Some DIY Tips)
One of the common misconceptions about SEO is how long it takes to start generating leads. While SEO is one of the most reliable and cost-effective sources of Web-based traffic, it takes a while to establish a new presence in competitive markets.

Should You Use PPC to Boost Your Lead Acquisition?
This really depends solely on your budget and long-term commitment to your law firm’s online marketing plan. PPC can be a great way to show up at the top of search results. Not only will your firm get prime placement on page one, but in time your phone should start ringing more and more and you may start getting quality leads that could turn into cases.

Ask SLS: How Do I Get My Office Verified on Google?
We’ve been helping lawyers achieve higher search placement for over two decades now. Throughout that time, the Internet has changed – A LOT. However, despite all the advancements and shifts in best-practice marketing strategy, there’s always one question that we’ve gotten from law firms big and small. It’s quite possibly the easiest question to answer, but it’s typically the question we get the most pushback on for specific, yet common, circumstances.
One of the most commonly asked questions we get from attorneys is… Read the rest »

Generate Better Leads with a Modern Legal Website
How does your website stack up against your competitors? Is it easy to use? Is it fast? Does it display properly on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices?
Most importantly, if you put your website in a lineup with other law firms’ sites, and people were asked to choose the best-looking site, would anyone pick yours?
When it comes to converting site visitors into potential clients, your website design is a huge factor. If your competition has a modern, fast, responsive website design and you do not, you are at a huge disadvantage.
