    6 Reasons You Should – And Shouldn't – Have More Than One Website

    For most small law firms, a single website will satisfy your digital marketing needs. In some cases, however, it can be a strategic marketing decision to have multiple websites. Whether you're looking to target specific clientele, gain traction for a particular legal service, or cater to multiple languages, a second (or third) website could help you reach your marketing goals. If you're considering launching an additional website for your law firm, or haven't yet considered this marketing strategy, it's helpful to know all the facts so you can best maximize your time and resources. In this episode of the Law Firm Marketing Decoded podcast, we cover the reasons why you should – or shouldn't – have multiple law firm websites and discuss other considerations for managing multiple sites.

    Core Elements of Effective Law Firm Websites: Branding and Messaging

    In order to have an effective online presence for your law firm, you need to first understand what your website needs to be successful. Attorneys who are new to digital marketing can be vulnerable to predatory marketing agencies who tend to overcomplicate website management in order to sell you on pricey and unnecessary services. Oftentimes, their goal is to make your firm dependent on their services rather than to educate you on how you can achieve a powerful online presence easily and affordably. As a result, many attorneys find themselves stuck with agencies who don't have their firm's growth as their #1 priority.  Fortunately, digital marketing for attorneys doesn't have to be complicated, secretive, or time-consuming. At LawLytics, we take pride in educating our members on how you can reach your growth goals using your law firm's website and without having to stretch your budget. In this blog series, we cover the three pillars of powerful law firm websites so that you can get a better understanding of what your website needs – and what it doesn't.  To listen to our first episode of this three-part podcast series where we discuss User Experience, click here. In this episode of the Law Firm Marketing Decoded podcast, we discuss pillar two of our three pillars of powerful law firm websites: Clear Branding and Messaging.

    Generative AI Can't Do This for Legal Marketing

    OpenAI's ChatGPT remains the front-runner in AI tech and has been hailed as a game-changer across industries as the ultimate tool many lawyers can't live or work without. From assisting in legal tasks to generating law blogs in seconds, ChatGPT has made its mark on the workplace.  However, generative AI is not perfect. In fact, one critical thing it can't do for us is something critical to law firm marketing: Creating connections with potential clients. Legal services – whether you advise startup businesses, represent criminal defendants, or negotiate divorce settlements – are all about serving individuals, businesses, and other entities.  To serve most effectively and obtain favorable outcomes, lawyers need to connect with their clients by putting themselves in their clients' shoes. In doing so, you can come to understand what they are experiencing and, subsequently, provide what they need. When this connection is conveyed in your website content, it has the power to convert leads. To connect in this way, however, requires an emotional element. Generative AI lacks empathy – it is not yet capable of expressing or inciting emotion.  In this episode of the Law Firm Marketing Decoded podcast, we explore why empathic and emotional-based law firm website content is important and provide tips on how to create and benefit from it.
