Tips for Improving Your Lawyer Website Conversion

September 10th, 2009

A common problem law firm websites have is turning web visitors into clients. In most cases, when our firm is asked to perform a free website design evaluation we find there are a number of reasons why a particular law firm website is not getting the amount of calls or emails that it could.

Here are some of the most common mistakes we see on a daily basis.

  1. No call to action – A successful lawyer website should have strong call to action that encourages the prospective client to pick up the phone and speak with the firm.
  2. Contact information is not readily available on all areas of the website.
  3. No Articulated Sales Argument – Does your firm give the prospective client the feeling you are the right fit? The home page content is your best shot at retaining prospective clients. Are you making the case for your firm?
  4. Website design looks outdated.
  5. Website navigation is too busy.
  6. No pictures of attorneys or people on the website.
  7. No highly visable links to a “Case Results” page.

These are some of the most common mistakes we have seen on law firm websites. These mistakes can cost your website 2-3 cases per ever 100 visits on average.  LawyerSuccess offers a free website conversion and design review. Simply call us today at (769) 218-6099 to schedule a free website review.

How to Generate Website Traffic for Lawyer Websites – Keywords and Keyphrases

August 31st, 2009

I have worked on several of the most popular and most trafficked legal websites on the web. For over 8 years I have worked with or consulted over 3,500 law firms on website development and lead generation via the Internet.


The very best way to generate substantial and sustainable website leads for your legal website is to do the following:

1. Research top key-phrases being used daily by potential clients. There are some paid and free services out there on the Web to help you find the right keywords for your law firm website.  A common mistake for lawyers is to assume or guess which keywords people are typing on the Web to find an attorney in their market. At LawyerSuccess we offer legal keyword research to help you target the “high value” keywords for your firm.

2. Develop search engine optimized content around these “high value” lawyer keywords. Simply write articles using one or two of these key-phrases at least 3 times per 400 words of text.

3. Optimize your content pages using one or two key words or key phrases. Include the key phrases in the description tags, title tags, alt tags, H1 and H2 tags and links on the web page.

4. Obtain inbound links to your website using those keyphrases and have the links point to the page dedicated to that 1 or 2 keyphrases.

By using this keyword enriched seo technique, your website traffic will increase with the type of web visitor you desire – a paying client.

SEO Inbound Links For Lawyers and Attorney Links

August 5th, 2009

Is your law firm website slipping or missing from the 1st page search results on most major search engines? It could be one of three problem areas.

First common issue for poor search engine positioning for most attorney websites is the lack of proper search engine optimization in the code of the website. This is the most important factor because it effects everything else that you do to position your website within Google, Bing, Ask, Yahoo, etc… If the proper meta tags, descriptions, ALT tags, header tags, and keyword placement is not complete, then link building or content development will produce lackluster results.

Second issue to properly rank your law firm’s website within the top search engines is to update the site’s content regularly. We offer lawyer website content writing that is well researched, written by attorneys and is optimized for keyword positioning on all search engines. The fresh content provides excellent internal links to important key web pages as well as encourages search engines to visit your website frequently.

Last and certainly not the least is how well your website is viewed by the Web community. The best way for Google and other search engines to figure out which websites should be at the top of the search engine results page for a particular search phrase is to calculate how many other sites find the information valuable. This calculation is based on how many other related and credible sites link to or refer to your website. Our firm can help you legitimately generate these high valued and rare legal resource links to your website. Click here to read more about SEO Inbound Links For Lawyers.

Search Positioning Determines Law Firm Credibility for Consumers

July 30th, 2009

Every attorney pretty much wants the one of two thing when advertising for new clients. Most practicing attorneys either want better clients or better cases. For the past 9 years and over 3,500 law firm client interviews I am learning more about a new trend emerging within the ranks of the high income demographic online users.  The type of clients that business, family, estate and criminal attorneys tend to market toward.

The trend is the general attitude toward law firms and their website search positioning.  High search positioning (top 3 search results) on Google, Yahoo or Bing doesn’t just equal more traffic and more client leads. A lawyer website indexed within the top 3 organic search results now means you have credibility with the high level business clientele and elite status consumers.

That’s right. The high dollar clients you are marketing for are trending toward making an informed selection between the top 3 attorneys listed on a search results page. Some speculate this is a trend that carried over from the yellow pages days where only the double truck yellow page ads pulled the most credibility and new client leads.

My opinion is that is that there is a more sophisticated answer than that. I believe that people are relying more heavily on the search credibility of Google to help sort out which companies or service providers they should evaluate when making a short list of attorneys to call.

If you are interested in discussing how to improve your law firm’s website rankings within top search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing, please feel free to call James Greenier at (769) 218-6099 for a free consultation.
