Lawyers Surf Yelp For New Clients

Saturday, March 21st, 2009

Looking for a FREE way to connect with potential clients? Recently I visited the website Yelp.com and found a few posts for people looking for legal help. Since the site doesn’t appear to be frequented by many attorneys on a regular basis, I feel this may provide you with an excellent and free way to reach potential clients.


Of course when it comes to the Web and FREE lawyer marketing strategies, the “home run case” may not be as frequent, but there appears to be some decent cases that a young attorney might pick up to keep the doors open.

My suggestions about looking for potential clients or cases on Yelp.

1. Check the site regularly – weekends, during lunch, or keep the site bookmarked on your Blackberry.
2. Build rapport first – If you see a case that might interest you, build rapport by providing excellent responses to questions, then ask for an appointment.
3. Be a regular user – As the content (your answers) becomes indexed, you will get regular visits.
4. Build out your profile – Add all the essential contact information.
5. Respond quickly – Make sure to include a fre consultation by telephone and include your contact information.

Hope this helps.
