Google provides search results for billions of search queries each day.
Many people use Google to find advice and answers to their questions, including your law firm’s potential clients, who are researching their case or matter before they hire an attorney.
When a search user asks a question of Google, the links that Google returns on a search results page lead to content. When you find a new recipe on the internet, read a news story from a news aggregate, or learn how to solve a common problem from the information you found on a website, you’re consuming content.
Your potential clients are consuming content, too. Right now, they’re looking for website content that will help them understand more about the problem they’re facing and what to do next.
Is your law firm’s website providing that information? If not, you’re missing an opportunity to drive more — and better — business to your law firm.
The world’s information is at our fingertips, available to us at any moment through search engines that deliver relevant content to us when we make a related search. Consumers don’t just read website content — they make important decisions based on that content, such as contacting a law firm when they’re in need of legal representation. As a result, creating and publishing content to your law firm’s website is crucial if you want to drive new business to your law firm through free search engine traffic.
