Using your website to generate more clients can be a very good source of advertising for lawyers. I want to address how multiple calls to action will increase the number of prospects your website will produce.
Different people react in different ways to pictures, text, graphics, etc. on your website. This is why we give them various ways to interact with each call to action.
Since we don’t know what others will find appealing it is important to provide different ways for an individual to contact us. We have to remember that what appeals to us will not attract the attention of someone else.
For instance, if I offer an informational guide to potential clients, I need to display a picture of the guide that links to a page collecting information in exchange for the download. In addition, below the picture of the guide I should include a text hyperlink that a user can click to arrive at the same page. By doing this I am appealing to users who want to click on the picture as well as the hyperlink.
Another example is listing your phone number on all the pages of your site as well as a graphic and text links to receive free case evaluations. This will appeal to users that are ready to talk about their issue now as opposed to someone that is at another stage in the process. For instance, someone downloading an e-book may still be doing research, whereas the others are ready to talk today. Either way, I am providing outlets with which they can contact me.
“I get how advertising for lawyers works…..they can get a hold of me on my contact page!”
Although you should have a contact page which contains all of your relevant information on it, you also need to offer your site visitors a reason to get a hold of you. Think what’s in it for them. WHY should they contact you? When you offer them legitimate reasons such as a free e-book or free consultation, then you are appealing to the reasons they WANT to contact you.
If you try out these methods on your firm’s website, you will see how online advertising for lawyers can help grow your practice.
