By SLS Consulting on January 20, 2024

Spam is any type of unsolicited message sent in bulk over the internet. Spam messages may be received via text, email, in a website comments section, or as a direct message (DM) to your social media account.

In most cases, spamming is used to attract website traffic, but it can also be used for malicious purposes such as scams, phishing, and spreading viruses or other types of malware.A cartoon graphic of a spam call on a smartphone. Read the rest »

Is LinkedIn Marketing Right for Your Law Firm?

By SLS Consulting on July 30, 2023

LinkedIn is the largest online professional network in the world, with over 200 million users in the United States and 900 million users globally. Over 93 percent of lawyers use LinkedIn. People generally think of LinkedIn as a networking website, but it’s also a powerful B2B marketing tool.

LinkedIn offers unrivaled marketing opportunities for lawyers, especially if your law firm is seeking new clients in particular fields, such as real estate, hospitality, telecommunications, or finance. The main advantage you get with LinkedIn compared to Facebook and other social media channels is advanced targeting. LinkedIn allows you to segment potential leads based on their position within the company, interests, education, demographics, associations, and other important traits.

Although the platform provides unique opportunities for turning a cold audience into hot leads, many nuances make LinkedIn marketing challenging for the uninitiated user. You’ll want to research the site before seeking new clients on LinkedIn, or you can trust your LinkedIn campaign with an experienced digital marketing firm.Linkedin homepage is displayed in web browser on a computer screen.

By SLS Consulting on November 30, 2022

Social media is a wonderful tool for making new connections and keeping up with old friends. But it also has its pitfalls.

When you choose to start a social media account for your law firm or any type of SMB, it’s essential to realize that everything you post reflects you and your business to the entire world. If you ever hear yourself asking, “Should I really post this?” the answer is probably “NO!” Read the rest »

Is Your Legal Internet Marketing Company Cheating on You????

By SLS Consulting on July 5, 2022

Less than ONE PERCENT of Legal Internet Marketing companies DO NOT offer exclusivity to their clients. In fact, they take multiple clients per “region,” charge each of them a different rate, and use the same marketing strategies for each. In effect, cheating on you with your competitors! You may be paying twice what your competitor is paying, yet they are ranking above you and getting your cases!

At SLS Consulting, Inc., that is NOT the way we do business at all! We offer complete EXCLUSIVITY to our clients in their geographic and practice areas – many of our clients have multiple geographic areas and some even have EXCLUSIVITY STATEWIDE. With access to all of our clients’ marketing data and Analytics, we don’t feel it would be ethical to work with a competing law firm.

If your Legal Marketing Company is cheating on you with your competitors, or locks you into multi-year contracts to “preserve pricing,” then you should reconsider your options.

By SLS Consulting on December 1, 2020

Having a Clear Voice and Tone for Your Posts

By SLS Consulting on November 1, 2020

Whether you are writing a blog, sending out a newsletter, or tweeting out a new award, how you craft your voice and words can determine how your reader views you and your firm. While each platform and medium can have its own style and goals, your social media posts will rely heavily on consistency. Having widely different tones across several posts can make it seem like each post is by a different writer, thus giving your account an identity crisis. But if you decide on a tone beforehand and are selective about how you post – from the words you use to the topics – you can improve engagement across each platform.

The Key to Eye-Catching Social Media Images

By SLS Consulting on October 8, 2020

Building out a following on social media for your law firm can be a huge boon to your long-term goals, but only when done right. You may be able to discuss the latest changes to the law, new attorneys or paralegals you’ve brought on, speaking engagements, or events you will be sponsoring. With each post, you may be tempted to share a photo or graphic to make it visually interesting. But you should always remember that each platform has different image size requirements for posts that include images. If your image is not correctly sized, it can be stretched or skewed, and make your post look unprofessional!
