BEHIND THE VELVET ROPE David Yontef

Something About Her has finally opened with appearances by Andy Cohen, Stassi, Lindsay Hubbard and, soon to be, our very own SF Pod. In other VPR news, Miss Madix blocks us, the VPR cast takes Vanderpump Rules off their bio, the cast reacts, Brock's shady past resurfaces, Lala speaks out more as fans slam her, Pump spin off ideas gain traction, Stassi Schroeder’s return is imminent, so we say, and much, much more. In other news, the Ashley Madison scandal resurfaces in new Netflix doc with Kristen and Josh Taekman front and center - RHONY shout out, RHONJ chugs along with its third episode of Season 14 and we wonder if Andy Cohen and Micah Plath are about to start dating amidst Micah’s second appearance on WWHL in under a few months. Hmmm…

Introducing Proximity vs. Reviews: Google's Local Service Ads for Law Firms with Tanner Jones and Matt Smyers of Consultwebs from Grow Your Law Firm.
Follow the show: Grow Your Law Firm
Welcome to episode 223 of the Grow Your Law Firm podcast, hosted by Ken Hardison. In this episode, Ken sits down with Tanner Jones, VP of Business Development, and Matt Smyers, Senior Digital Advertising Advisor, at Consultwebs. They discuss essential strategies for optimizing Local Service Ads (LSAs) on Google, emphasizing the importance of quick response to calls and messages, consistent positive reviews, and effective use of the LSA dashboard. The discussion also touches on the significance of bid and budget management, lead nurturing and adapting marketing strategies to Google's evolving algorithms and AI influences.
 
As  Vice President of Business Development, Tanner Jones oversees all business development opportunities for Consultwebs and our clients. He has the privilege of speaking with virtually every law firm that contacts Consultwebs and working with them to determine how we may accomplish their digital marketing goals. Tanner earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, with a concentration in Management, from Berea College in 2008. His journey with Consultwebs began in 2009, and he now has over a decade of experience consulting with law firms on case-driving online marketing strategies.
 
He was originally drawn to Consultwebs because of how we have remained a leader in the niche of legal marketing. Tanner often quotes the Canadian hockey player, Wayne Gretzky, when he says, “Skate to where the puck is going, not where it has been.” For Tanner, Consultwebs strives to do just that. He says, “I’ve always been drawn to companies with an intentional focus because it often breeds stronger results, efficiencies, and scalability.” When it comes to what sets Consultwebs apart, Tanner’s first thought is the distinctiveness of our team. “We are proud to have built one of the strongest teams in the country, ranging from licensed attorney content writers, innovative social media consultants, and award-winning designers, to expert programmers, and highly experienced search marketing consultants. We know that we are only as strong as our individual team members, and we hire accordingly.”
 
Tanner is a native of Waynesville, North Carolina, where he lives with his wife, daughter, and son. Aside from spending time with his family, Tanner also enjoys camping, hiking, fishing, hunting, golfing, and playing “any other competitive sport available.” However, he admits that his goal for sports has gone from “win” to “don’t get injured.”

 
Matt Smyers is a non-practicing attorney who brings more than 10 years of experience in the legal marketing industry to his role as a Senior Digital Advertising Advisor at Consultwebs.

Matt helps law firms and clients connect through the strategic planning and execution of digital advertising campaigns, using Google Adwords, Facebook, Bing, Yahoo and other paid online advertising opportunities.

“Law firm marketing requires a very specific set of skills and a deep understanding of the legal industry,” Matt says. “It is our commitment at Consultwebs to marketing exclusively for law firms that allows us to understand our clients so well and to deliver the results that we deliver.”
 
What you’ll learn about in this episode:
 
1. Optimizing LSA Effectiveness:
Rapidly respond to calls and messages to improve user experience and enhance Google ranking. Focus on accumulating positive feedback on Google Business profiles while actively managing and responding to reviews.  
2. Strategic Use of LSA Dashboard:
Use the dashboard to detect useful patterns and keywords for more accurate targeting. Employ the notes section for adding pertinent keywords and additional details for each lead to refine targeting.  
3. Enhancing Lead Engagement:

RHONJ Season 14 is well underway and there is as much drama happening off air as on.  Teresa has been accused of working with several RHONJ bloggers to put certain narratives out there amongst the viewers. These bloggers have been mentioned in interviews with Melissa, Teresa and Margaret over the past week. As we prepare for this Sunday’s Episode 4, we hop back on here for a quick chat with one of the accounts at the center of the controversy, Melissa’s Old Nose. Melissa’s Old Nose returns to explain how she was working with Teresa, and Jennifer Aydin, in prior seasons but has now chosen to reveal texts, DMs, phone calls, shocking Season 14 spoilers she allegedly obtained from Teresa, Teresa’s Attorney, Aydin and more.  The more questions she answers, the more we have. Ahead of this Sunday’s RHONJ, tune in to this truly shocking chat…now! Beware -  Spoilers Will Be Revealed

Jackie Beard Robinson steps back Behind The Rope.  Melissa Gorga’s Ex-Envy Partner that is. With RHONJ Season 14 having finally arrived, we felt today the perfect kick off to a season long who’s who in RHONJ land of past and present Garden State residents. Jackie fills us in on all that she has been up to since we last saw her on our Bravo TV’s during RHONJ Season Seven and the infamous “left in the middle of the night with all the clothes” narrative that Melissa, Bravo and many others created as a Season Eight RHONJ opener. There has been so much written about the ownership of Envy, the demise of this partnership and the golden days of RHONJ yesterday. Jackie is here today to clear the air, separate fact from fiction and detail the lawsuits she brought against Melissa Gorga, Andy Cohen, Production, Bravo and NBC.  Jackie spills the tea on what she knows about Joe and Melissa’s relationship, Teresa and Joe, Luis Ruelas and much more.  We talk Margaret, Dolores, Jackie, Jen, Danielle and Rachel and what is likely to happen once this season of RHONJ concludes with Teresa and Melissa not having uttered a word to each other. Jackie mentions it all regarding RHONJ past, present and future holding nothing back. Part II starts now.
