Understanding Your Clients’ Concerns

 

We live in the age of the Internet. Technology allows us to order goods and have them delivered to our homes, download movies online, do our banking and business with the touch of a button, and if we run into legal problems — search for an attorney online who can help.

 

As easy as it sounds, many people are reluctant to trust the Internet and content that exists online. As a lawyer who has a Web site, it is important to be aware of your online presence and the message you are sending to potential clients. If you want to resonate with potential clients, consider implementing the following when creating your Web site:

 

  • Video — Make a solid first impression by putting a video on your site. Online, nothing makes a faster impact than video.
  • Photos — Potential clients want to know who they’re dealing with. Adding photos of your firm’s attorneys and office will give clients a visual representation of your law firm.
  • An effective marketing message — Advertising still works, but Web browsers are skeptical. Think “subtle” and avoid outrageous sales pitches. Rather, include concrete examples of your services and facts to back up your marketing message.
