How You Can Develop Content For Your Law Firm’s Website
Lawyer online advertising begins with a natural disadvantage with regards to the information you are writing for your website. It is because the material is complicated, comprehensive, and requires an advanced degree to understand completely. The content on your site is faced with the unenviable challenge of presenting, in layman’s terms, fairly complex subjects while at the same time confronting the short lived focus of online users.
It’s critical to know that producing content for your website is unique and should be approached differently than other forms of traditional writing.
Effective lawyer internet advertising calls for understanding how to craft web copy
I would like to address writing web copy from the viewpoint of user friendliness and engaging your audience. Even though it is also valuable to know how to create web copy for search engine optimization,I will reserve that issue for another blog post.
Below are a few ideas to consider when crafting content for your law firm’s website:
Consumers visiting your website scan through the pagesthey don’t read them – Make your paragraphs and sentences short. Make use of headlines and bolding that focus on your primary points.
Utilize bullet points – Consumers really like lists online. When lists and bullets are applied appropriately, a user can more quickly scan and absorb the points you address.
Be conversational, less “marketing speak” – I constantly point out that consumers want to buy from other people, not faceless law firms. This is certainly legitimate when selling professional services. Be sure you write with your style, while preserving a professional tone.
Stay away from legalese – Not only doesn’t the average person fully grasp it, but they will immediately dismiss your material and move on to another site. Interest is short lived on the web, if a potential client doesn’t understand what you are saying, they will quickly go someplace else.
Use photos, video tutorials, and illustrations in your content (when relevant) – This tends to make your articles more visually interesting and draws the potential client in.
A good book to check out on the topic is Net Copy by Nick Usborne. It is a easy read that discusses how to approach writing for the web.
Taking a closer look at the content on your law firm’s website will improve the effectiveness of your attorney internet marketing.
Understanding how to create engaging website copy is important for your law firm marketing. Writing copy that appeals to a user increases engagement and can be a nice compliment to your attorney SEO.
