Website Best Practices for Law Firms and Title Companies

Learn the 7 website components to attract clients and build a thriving business.

1. Ensure You Have an Optimized Website

All modern businesses should have a user-friendly and multi-device-friendly website showcasing their brand. Your website should be specialized based on your industry and include add-on tools that integrate the industry tools you are already using into your website design. This, in turn, helps you serve customers even more efficiently, all from one easy-to-navigate location. Our uniquely designed websites can include a custom-branded mobile closing calculator, online reviews, and more to give your website an edge over those in your industry. 

2. Utilize PPC and Online Ads

SEO strategies in website design and even content marketing is important. However, in many cases, implementing these tips and seeing their benefits can take some time. Thankfully, online ads or PPC ads, which are pay-per-click ads, allow you to reach your customers more quickly, getting your message in front of your target audience. This works by featuring keywords and focusing on demographics that will generate valuable leads and help your brand get found. There are a few types of online ads you can utilize, such as the following: 

  • Remarketing Ads: This type of ad shows up across the web and keeps your firm or company top-of-mind for prospects. This is ideal for when a potential customer visits your website but then doesn’t begin a relationship that day. 
  • Facebook Ads: These ads are built on your company’s behalf to increase the number of individuals you have following your page and boost page likes. It also encourages website clicks aimed at your ideal clients. 
  • Google Ads: Another beneficial type of online ad is Google ads, which helps get your brand in front of the right prospective clients who are looking for your services. This works by using effective SEO strategies, like keywords and keyword phrases, to ensure that you are aiming your content at the right target audience. 

3. Embrace Prewritten Articles and Feature High-Quality Content

Search engines prefer high-quality content that is valuable and informative over subpar meanderings that do little more than fill space. Therefore, incorporating high-quality content into your website through blog posts, videos, infographics, and more will ensure that your content is engaging and relevant to your audience and will also promote sharing. Of course, coming up with brand-new content over and over can become tiresome, so it’s okay to incorporate prewritten articles, revamped articles, or other varieties of content into your website. Simply make sure that the right keywords and phrases are being featured in these pieces and that the content overall is valuable and informative. This will also help you establish yourself as an authority or expert within your industry. 

4. Make Sure Your Website and All Apps and Tools are Mobile Friendly

According to data from Statista, 95.9% of global users accessed the internet via their phones. To compare, within this same demographic, only 62.2% said they used a desktop or laptop to access the internet. What this data indicates is that today’s customers are accessing your website and your site tools or apps much more often via their smartphone. Consequently, you must ensure that your site and everything on it is mobile-friendly. This also ensures that search engines feature your site. In today’s world, a site that isn’t mobile-friendly will not be one that Google will highlight at the top of the rankings. 

5. Feature Local SEO

While general SEO tips are helpful, to ensure your company is found by search engines and your customers are guided to the right location, that being your website, you must feature local SEO. This means using location-specific keywords and phrases not only in your website design but also within your content or articles. Make sure that your Google My Business listing is correct and optimized as well, just to further improve your overall visibility, especially within Google Maps. Be sure to encourage happy customers to leave positive reviews so that local customers can see the help you have given to others in their same situation.  

6. Stay Up-to-Date on Industry Trends

When trying to get your brand found online via a search engine, you should stay on top of trends impacting search engine algorithms and overall website design strategies. Unfortunately, staying on top of this evolving industry can be tiresome and pretty much impossible if you are already focused on running a successful company. Therefore, it’s wise to partner with a professional marketing company to do the work for you and to ensure that your site is benefiting from the latest industry knowledge. This will free you up to focus on your appeal to customers in other ways while the marketing professional works on your behalf to manipulate your search rankings for the better. 

7.  Use a Local Content Marketing Service Professional and Try Socialite
