Improving Your Landing Pages To Generate More Clients From Your Legal Marketing Spend

I was on a call the other day with a solicitor. They wanted to know how they could win more new client instructions. The good news was that they were running Google Ads already, so I had a fair bet that Landing Pages was going to be an issue.

 

I have a lot of these calls. They are always highly enjoyable for me, and I believe helpful for the person on the call.

This one was a nice easy one for me because, as I mentioned, the solicitor I was talking with was already running a Google Ads campaign (smart move) but it wasn’t quite as well as they would have liked.

With Ads, there are always three main areas for me to dive into:

  • Are the Ads groups small enough so that the ad copy is very tightly matched to the keywords?
  • Are all of the available Ads features being used (extensions, split testing ad copy, conversion tracking etc); and
  • Are the landing pages good enough.

In this case, the landing pages simply weren’t good enough. To be honest, in 90% of all of my Google Ads Optimisation Reviews for solicitors the landing pages are never good enough, which is a huge issue.

Landing pages are the perennial leaking bucket when it comes to Google Ads.

If you keep putting water into a leaking bucket it will never fill up. Likewise, if your landing pages are not good enough, you can send as many visitors to it as you like, but you will never win the volume of new client instructions that you would like.

Landing pages are pretty much the be all and end all when it comes to Google Ads.

However, as I say they are rarely good enough.

One of the first places to see if your landing pages are good enough is to look at the Quality Score which is displayed next to each of your keywords. If it is below 6 or 7 (out of 10), more likely than not it is because your landing page is simply not good enough.

If it is 5 or below your landing page is definitely not good enough.

And of course it is not just that making a better landing page will increase your Quality Score, it is also that this improvement in Quality Score will mean that it is much easier for you to get to position number one in the Ads results whilst spending less money per click to do so than your competitors.

That has to be worth a little time and effort, doesn’t it?

Michael Birch

Less than a year ago I asked Nick to help me grow our practice by making the telephone ring.

He’s certainly done that and much more.

The improvements are incredible and Nick has guided me through the many challenges of scaling up, not least the need for a client focused approach.

This has allowed me to start the next phase; organising the practice to ensure a better lifestyle balance for all of us, whilst we continue to grow.

Anthony McCarthy

Nick gives simple and clear advice which makes sense.

In a field full of smoke and mirror merchants he is the real deal.

His book, content and webinars are first class.

Highly recommended.

Tim Weir

Having implemented a raft of improvements to our website and marketing campaigns suggested in Nick’s excellent books, I decided to contact the man himself for a one-to-one discussion.

The thirty minutes spent with Nick on that video call provided me with more business improvement tools than I could’ve hoped for. Nick even took the time to give me some insights on client conversion particular to our area of practice.

Online reviews are often brimming with trite phrases and hyperbole, but I cannot find any other way of saying that my only regret is that I didn’t contact Samson Consulting sooner.

Chris Thomas

As usual with Nick he was super informative and helpful and gave me some very good tips for me to go forward with. He exudes positivity and makes dealing with him a pleasure. Also gave me a steer in helping two other contacts I have who may be able to use his services
