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 dramatic increase means that digital domination now requires a two-punch Strategy.
We all KNOW that 5-star Google Reviews mean visibility and credibility for your business and enhances chances of landing your place on the coveted Google 3-pack.
The more online reviews you amass, the more trust consumers have that your firm is the “right” firm – the “Best” firm – the firm they should hire. Getting a decent number of reviews is necessary to even make the first cut in consumer considerations these days and posting the most online Reviews means you’ll likely be able to DOMINATE your market. At least, that’s what we thought, right?
But recent studies show a particularly important new development in the world of legal marketing. It’s the Google “Near Me” Search Factor. Law Firm Owners who are serious about their firm’s marketing need to be aware of this factor and leverage it in 2022. Recent studies show an unbelievably high surge in consumers looking for goods, services, and businesses “near me.” Some data suggest it’s increased 150%. But other studies show even higher numbers – a 500% or even 700% increase in “Near Me” searches by consumers in the last few years. Even if we can’t be certain of the exact percentage point of the increase, what we know for sure is that consumers searching for businesses “near me” is on the RISE.

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.
The Big Marketing Lesson from the Pesky Ducks in our POOL
By Tiana Hinnant-Hardison
Right now, it’s war at our house. Period. It’s us against the ducks. Ducks are sweet looking. Ducks are cute- when they’re swimming in ponds at the park- or waddling across the road. They make us feel warm and fuzzy- until they’re swimming in your pool.
Data is powerful because it allows you to make improvements as you go. Not only does it help you understand your customers’ behavior, but it also enables you to predict market behavior, streamline processes, and answer many of the questions you really need answered as a business.
