So you’re ready to market your law firm? You’re 100% prepared to increase your law firm’s brand awareness! You’ve got the budget, the right staff, you’ve got the fortitude, but unfortunately … you have no idea how to get started.
Well, the good news is, there isn’t a magic bullet to marketing and advertising because if there were, everybody would be using it. Thusly, any “magic-bullet-marketing” tactic would cease to be magic because it would be commonplace. This fact brings us to the heart of what effective marketing and advertising mean for your law firm – the goal is to get noticed.
The bad news when it comes to choosing which marketing and advertising strategy is best for your law firm is, and I hear lawyers say this A LOT to their own clients, “it depends.”
As a former law firm marketing director, and now as a content strategist here at Consultwebs, I’ve experienced both sides of the legal marketing dilemma. Here are my five tips on building awareness for your law firm:
(1.) Discover what your brand is.
Everyone thinks they know what their law firm’s brand is, and I hate to tell you, you probably don’t. Your brand is not a logo. Your brand is not the slogans you came up with in a meeting with shareholders. Your brand isn’t based on your love of tigers, sharks, or bulldogs, and it isn’t what you “stand for.”
Your actual brand is defined by the client experience at your firm.
Your brand is what your clients say about your firm.
Every lawyer knows the importance of word-of-mouth referrals. Indeed, they are cited as the number one driver of new business.
However, very few lawyers do the necessary work to capture what those mouths are actually saying. Why did they refer you specifically? What was it about the experience at your firm in particular that made the referral feel necessary?
Law Firm Outsourcing with Virtual Assistants is a hot topic in 2022 for law firm owners all across the country. Some lawyers swear by it while others shun the idea altogether. Is Virtual Assistant outsourcing right for your firm?
First – let’s start with the misnomer – Virtual Assistants aren’t limited to off-site legal assistants.
The term encompasses any off-site or offshore contractors hired to provide services for your firm that had traditionally been performed in-house. This could include a litany of activities, from answering the phones, handling intake screening, medical records retrieval, or even traditional paralegal and attorney services such as case prep, drafting or responding to discovery, drafting documents, and performing legal research.

When most of us think about our clients, one of the first things that come to mind is a mental picture of that client who is being a pain in the proverbial butt. You know, the one you just can’t please – that’s always calling and complaining. (And typically, these are the clients you’ve done the most for or whose case is small enough you regret taking it in the first place). Or maybe you think of the client whose...
We’ve long known the benefits of affirmation and appreciation. Who doesn’t like hearing that they’ve done a good job or that the work they are doing matters? The more we feel appreciated, acknowledged, and affirmed, the happier we are and the harder most of us work to do a good job. It’s human nature. It starts when we can barely walk, proceeds through our school-age years, and continues throughout our adult life. In our personal lives, we readily recognize how...
Yes, you read it correctly. Google Searches for Businesses “Near Me” rose 500% in the last several years, according to recent stats. And the stats keep going up. This isn’t just huge for restaurants and retail stores. It’s big news for any business, including law firms. If you are a law firm owner and want to dominate your market, this latest data is almost – and in some cases, MORE important than amassing Online Reviews. In fact, I’d say this...
One of the biggest things that sets highly successful entrepreneurs apart from most business owners is that they are continual learners. They are never satisfied with the status quo. They are always asking “What if?” They are striving to know more, so they can do more and become more. They are not resting on yesterday’s success, but are striving to achieve greater success today and tomorrow. They understand the importance of acquiring fresh ideas and new insights. With that in...
