Content Marketing For Law Firms

What is content marketing for law firms and why should you solicitors do it?

What Is Content Marketing For Law Firms?

Content marketing or seo for law firms I define as:

Adding quality content to your website consistently which answers the questions your ideal clients type into the search engines.

The key parts here are:

  • Quality content. By this I mean quality content for your reader, which is not necessarily the same as quality content that a solicitor would like to read. It needs to be easy to read, cover off your prospects main concerns about the topic and encourage them to make contact with you.
  • Answering your ideal clients questions. A very important part of content marketing is keyword research which will tell you precisely what your ideal clients are typing into Google/the other search engines. I have learned over the years that there is simply no point in adding content to your website if no one is looking for it.
  • Consistently. When I speak with a new solicitor, I often ask them how their website performs for them. “Oh, we have one blog post that brings in new clients every week” they proudly say. “Fantastic!” I reply. “So how often do you add new blogs.” “Never” is usually the response. Then I watch as the penny drops…. For content marketing to work, in other words for you to generate more enquiries every week and every month, it must be added consistently to your website.

Why Should Solicitors Undertake Content Marketing?

Having been a solicitor for many years, and having worked for law firms as a law firm marketing consultant since 2003, I have always tested every method of marketing before advising my clients to do the same.

When I realised the power of content marketing, I undertook a test on one of my own websites, Solicitors Near Me, of adding new content every month for six months.

Below are the results of that test (latest month at top, oldest month at the bottom):

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.

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.

As the owner of a small to medium-sized law firm, I have found that Samson Consulting’s Marketing4Solicitors monthly newsletter has proved absolutely invaluable throughout the last three years or so. Of all the marketing advice I’ve had over the years, this has proved by far the best value – bringing us tens of thousand of pounds of extra work every year.

One of the best tricks Nick Jervis [who owns Samson Consulting] uses, is not only to identify the kind of marketing actions a small or medium-sized business can take themselves, but he also explains why it works and most importantly then takes you through, step-by-step exactly what you need to do. As someone who is passionate about growing my business, I really look forward to receiving Nick’s excellent newsletter every month.

It’s worth pointing out that initially I was sceptical about his promises – so many marketing businesses promise the earth. But within a couple of months I was absolutely convinced he was right and I have been hooked ever since.

I recommend Nick Jervis and Samson Consulting without any hesitation whatsoever.

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

Chris Rennie

Nick takes a no-nonsense approach, cuts the fluff and gets straight to the point – which is an approach that you see very little nowadays in the world of marketing where you have many gurus with complex approach that most probably never work. I look forward to working with Nick.
