What Is SEO?
Search engine optimization (SEO) is a group of strategies that your marketer uses to direct traffic to your website. These days, when someone requires professional services, they’re probably going to start by making a Google search engine query. If you have content on your websites that does a good job of answering the questions that people in your community are asking Google, then your content will rise to the top of search engine results pages (SERPs).
Visitors directed to your site from Google searches are referred to as organic traffic. The great thing about organic traffic is you don’t have to pay for it. When your marketer designs an effective content marketing strategy, it will continue to bring you new leads for years to come.
After you sit down with your digital marketer and tell them which services you want to promote, they will create a content marketing strategy. Your marketer will find out what kind of searches potential law firm clients are making on Google. Common searches in your area may include:
- What is equitable distribution?
- Do they have leash laws in Mooresville?
- How will a felony conviction affect my professional license?
- What will happen to my pension in a divorce?
- What if I got hit by an Uber driver?
- What are the long-term effects of road rash?
- What are the penalties for a third DWI in North Carolina?
- Is there a cap on damages for farm equipment accidents in North Carolina?
- What if someone left their gate open and my kid got hurt in their pool?
Content Marketing Converts Leads Into Clients
The buyer’s journey describes the steps a person takes when deciding to purchase a product or service. The buyer’s journey typically contains three steps:
- Awareness is when a potential client first realizes they have a problem that can be solved by an attorney. Maybe someone who suffered a catastrophic injury when they were struck by a speeding truck has received a lowball settlement offer, but they aren’t sure if they should take it.
- Consideration is when the potential client is deciding whether a particular lawyer can help them solve a problem. At this point, someone may be reading your blog post about effective legal defenses against drug possession charges in North Carolina.
- Decision is when a new lead contacts your office to ask about your services.
It’s important to have pages and blog posts on your website designed to attract and convert people at every stage of the buyer’s journey. A website visitor becomes a lead when they reach out to you by calling your office or filling out a submission form on your website.
