When it comes to attracting more cases to your law firm, search
engine optimization is probably one of the most effective and
quantitative methods of marketing. It puts your law firm in a position
to attract contacts from potential clients who are already aware they
need legal representation.
But is that all the entire Internet has to offer? A higher ranking
in the search engines? No, in fact now is the time to go beyond search
engine optimization and focus on one primary goal of “getting found.”
Getting found means being present through as many websites, articles
and newswires as possible. Getting found means having a presence in as
many places as possible. We are not talking about spamming classifieds
sites or random linking; going beyond search engine optimization means
social networking on overdrive.
Social networking provides you with an instant database of potential
clients. By publishing a blog on a social network, you are making your
information available within that network. You are also expanding the
amount of content related to your firm on the web.
Google is more than a web search engine, it also has a news search engine (Google News - http://news.google.com) and a blog search engine (Google Blog Search - http://blogsearch.google.com).
If someone searches your area of practice in a Google News or Google
Blog search, will your law firm be in the search results? Will your
content be available? Through using content, spreading relevant
information and utilizing social networks, your information will appear
on Google Blog Search and other blog search engines, as well as Google
News and other aggregate newswires.
By making your firm present in as many resources as possible, you
will be going beyond search engine optimization and start getting found.
