Why Most Law Firm Marketing Fails And What Smart Lawyers Do Instead – Above the Law

Too
many
lawyers
are
sold
on
the
idea
that
a
shiny
website
and
a
few
SEO
tweaks
will
flood
their
inbox
with
new
business.

But
as
digital
strategist
and
attorney
Seth
Price
explains
in
our
recent
“Be
That
Lawyer”
conversation,
marketing
a
law
firm

especially
in
the
B2B
space

requires
more
than
a
passive
online
presence.

It
requires
strategy,
focus,
and
the
courage
to
say
no
to
the
wrong
things
so
you
can
double
down
on
what
actually
works.


The
Power
of
Saying
No
(and
Knowing
When
to
Walk
Away)

Seth
and
I
talked
about
the
hidden
power
of
removing
what
doesn’t
serve
you

whether
it’s
a
bad
client,
a
draining
business
segment,
or
even
a
once-promising
investment.

He
shared
a
story
about
launching
a
real
estate
business
before
his
law
firm
took
off.

Despite
its
potential
profitability,
the
work
drained
him,
especially
as
the
market
turned.
The
lesson?
Just
because
something
could
make
money
doesn’t
mean
it’s
worth
your
time,
energy,
or
sanity.

In
both
law
and
entrepreneurship,
success
often
comes
from
subtraction
not
addition.


Forget
SEO
(At
Least
at
First):
Start
With
Relationships

When
it
comes
to
B2B
legal
marketing,
Seth
is
direct:
SEO
shouldn’t
be
your
first
move.

If
your
universe
of
potential
clients
is
small,
say,
60
general
counsel
or
business
owners
in
your
metro
area
your
energy
should
go
toward
building
real,
personal
connections.

Ball
games,
breakfasts,
curated
dinners,
or
simply
reaching
out
to
two
people
a
day
can
yield
far
more
results
than
passively
waiting
for
Google
rankings
to
kick
in.

For
lawyers
who
sell
trust
and
expertise,
relationship-building
beats
algorithms
every
time.

“If
you
create
great
content
over
time…
you
may
not
get
a
ton
of
interaction,
but
the
people
that
are
interested
are
going
to
find
it,
and
you’re
going
to
be
that
guy,”
