    Harlan Schillinger: Legal Marketing Secrets: TV, Technology, and the Human Touch

    About Harlan Schillinger: Harlan Schillinger, widely regarded as the Grandfather of Legal Advertising, has over 46 years of experience in legal marketing, intake, and conversion. He was the first to produce and market television advertising for the legal community, with commercials airing nationwide starting in 1978. Harlan has consulted with more than 140 law firms across 98 markets in North America, emphasizing accountability and high-value case acquisition. He is a co-founder of Lead Docket, software designed to enhance intake and conversion, boosting law firms' profitability without additional advertising spend. Passionate about community and philanthropy, Harlan co-chairs fundraising efforts with Hamsters USA®, raising over $4.2 million for the Children's Care Hospital in South Dakota. In this episode, Ted and Harlan Schillinger discuss: Evolution of legal marketing from traditional TV to digital strategiesDifferentiation tactics for law firms in competitive marketsThe critical role of CRM tools in improving client intakeThe relevance of TV advertising in a digital world Key Takeaways: Inefficient client intake processes are the biggest weakness in law firms, and tools like Lead Docket can increase case conversion by up to 30% without additional ad spend.Effective advertising relies on understanding how your target audience consumes information and crafting strategies that meet them where they are, whether through digital platforms, OTT, or traditional TV.Differentiation in legal advertising comes from authenticity, storytelling, and showcasing credibility, often through testimonials and clear messaging that resonates with clients in their most vulnerable moments.While Super Bowl ads may offer prestige, their high cost and fleeting impact make them a poor choice for most law firms aiming for measurable results, compared to focused multi-channel strategies.  "The number one rule in advertising is: you get what you ask for. The number two rule in advertising is: find out how the person you're trying to reach is consuming information and give them more of it." — Harlan Schillinger   Connect with Harlan Schillinger:  Website: https://www.harlanschillinger.com/ Email: harlanschillinger@gmail.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/harer54215/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Harlan.Schillinger.Legal.Marketing.Expert Traffic to Leads Information and links JuvoLeads.com contact page: https://juvoleads.com/contact/ JuvoLeads website: https://juvoleads.com/ Connect with show host Ted DeBettencort: ted@juvoleads.com Ideas or guests for the show: ted@juvoleads.com  Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Beyond SEO, he has co-founded a non-profit supporting street children in Nairobi, traveled to over 27 countries, and hiked Kilimanjaro, embodying a passion for both digital and real-world impact. In this episode, Ted and Sam Bretzmann discuss: Importance of SEO strategies for local businessesRole of AI advancements in reshaping search behavior and SEOChallenges and timelines in achieving effective SEO resultsThe evolution of SEO practices over the years Key Takeaways: To succeed in local SEO, businesses need to focus on optimizing their Google Business Profiles, creating detailed service and location pages, and earning strong reviews and citations on industry-specific platforms like Justia and Yelp.With more people using conversational search through tools like ChatGPT, businesses should rethink their content to match how people naturally ask questions online.A good SEO agency should provide clear updates on their work, track keyword rankings and organic traffic, and show how these efforts are turning into leads for the business.SEO takes time to show results, often six months to a year, and progress depends on competition, the business’s starting point, and consistent effort in key areas like content and links.  "Right now, there's still a pretty clear distinction between a ChatGPT tool and a Google search. However, as Google and Bing begin to layer AI overviews into normal search results, my assumption is that we’re going to start talking to Google more conversationally." — Sam Bretzmann   Connect with Sam Bretzmann:  Website: https://www.sambretzmann.com/ Email: sam@bretzmedia.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@sambretzmannmarketing LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sam-bretzmann/ Traffic to Leads Information and links JuvoLeads.com contact page: https://juvoleads.com/contact/ JuvoLeads website: https://juvoleads.com/ Connect with show host Ted DeBettencort: ted@juvoleads.com Ideas or guests for the show: ted@juvoleads.com  Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

    Jason Barnard: How to Control Your Personal Branding and Online Narrative

    About Jason Barnard: Jason Barnard is an entrepreneur, author, keynote speaker, and CEO of Kalicube, a groundbreaking digital marketing agency based in France. Specializing in Online Brand Management, he excels in reshaping and influencing how Google and AI perceive individuals and companies. With over a decade of experience, Jason has been successfully manipulating Google’s focus since its inception, helping leaders move from being just one of many to The One. His approach isn’t simply optimization, but a strategic manipulation of digital perceptions that empowers clients to take control of their virtual personal brand in a world increasingly shaped by AI. In this episode, Ted and Jason Barnard discuss: Importance of personal brand management in the digital eraThe role of Google's perception in shaping online reputationsStrategies for dominating name-based search resultsThe integration of AI with search engines and its implications for personal branding Key Takeaways: For individuals with common names like "Bob Smith," incorporating unique branding elements, such as adding a middle initial or subtle rebranding, can effectively differentiate their identity and improve their visibility on Google search results.Rather than relying on traditional methods of flooding the internet with new content, Jason’s approach involves amplifying and repositioning existing content to reshape Google’s perception, often achieving significant results within a three-month timeframe.The information displayed in Google’s Knowledge Panel, including images and descriptions, is entirely algorithm-driven and cannot be directly edited, requiring strategic efforts to guide the algorithm toward showcasing accurate and authoritative content.A unified strategy leveraging shared data sources and user expectations ensures consistent and effective results across platforms like Google, ChatGPT, and Bing Copilot, avoiding the inefficiency of creating multiple distinct approaches.  "You need one strategy to cover all these machines (Google, ChatGPT, and AI systems). They're using the same data, serving the same audience, relying on the same technology... no need for multiple strategies. One fits all—one strategy to rule them all." — Jason Barnard Connect with Jason Barnard:  Website: https://kalicube.com & https://jasonbarnard.com/ Guides to help you manage your brand online: https://kalicube.com/guides/ Email: jason@kalicube.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonmbarnard/ Traffic to Leads Information and links JuvoLeads.com contact page: https://juvoleads.com/contact/ JuvoLeads website: https://juvoleads.com/ Connect with show host Ted DeBettencort: ted@juvoleads.com Ideas or guests for the show: ted@juvoleads.com  Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Before founding Lexicon, David was a professional cellist and instructor, showcasing a unique journey from music to law and digital marketing. In this episode, Ted and David Arato discuss: The importance of high-quality legal contentChallenges and solutions in law firm content marketingLeveraging SEO for law firmsEmerging trends in AI-assisted content creation Key Takeaways: To effectively rank for keywords like “Houston car accident lawyer,” law firms need to invest significantly, but smaller firms can target niche, high-intent keywords such as “Do I need a lawyer after a rear-end accident in Houston?” to capture traffic more affordably.Law firm content must align with Google’s E-E-A-T principles (Experience, Expertise, Authority, Trust) to ensure credibility and SEO success, particularly for sensitive topics like law, finance, and health.AI tools are increasingly used for efficiency in content creation, such as outlining and editing, but over-reliance can lead to generic content that won’t stand out in competitive markets.Effective law firm content should address client questions throughout their decision-making journey, from initial inquiries (e.g., “Can I keep my house in a divorce?”) to final hiring decisions.  "Content creation—I don't look at it as a vanity project. It's like having a 500-page website. It's great for the idea of having a 500-page website, but unless it's driving traffic, what's the point?" — David Arato Connect with David Arato: Website: https://www.lexiconlegalcontent.com/ Email: david@lexiconlegalcontent.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidarato/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lexiconlegalcontent/ Traffic to Leads Information and links JuvoLeads.com contact page: https://juvoleads.com/contact/ JuvoLeads website: https://juvoleads.com/ Connect with show host Ted DeBettencort: ted@juvoleads.com Ideas or guests for the show: ted@juvoleads.com  Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

    Melissa Rogozinski: Marketing Integration, Sales Alignment, and Tech-Driven Strategies

    About Melissa Rogozinski: Melissa "Rogo" Rogozinski is celebrating 30 years as an award-winning and well-respected legal industry and technology professional.  Her roles include litigation paralegal, sales executive, speaker, and serial entrepreneur providing CLES, marketing, and sales consulting services. She is a regular contributor to Legaltech News, Law Journal Newsletters, and Legal Business World.  At RPC Strategies, she leads a "Dream Team" of consultants who specialize in legal marketing and sales strategies for investors and legal tech vendors. In this episode, Ted and Melissa Rogozinski discuss: Integration challenges within marketing and sales systemsThe role of marketing in lead generation versus sales responsibilitiesEvolving technology needs and AI adoption in the legal and tech industriesStrategic marketing solutions tailored for startups, mid-market firms, and investor-driven companies Key Takeaways: RPC Strategies identified a gap where a client missed out on 10,000 website leads due to improperly managed forms, demonstrating the importance of streamlined lead capture and integration within the marketing tech stack for B2B success.In a CRM overhaul for a legal tech startup, RPC uncovered 167,000 unintegrated leads, advising them to deduplicate, filter, and correctly align their CRM system with their website to ensure sales-ready data flows seamlessly across platforms.When one client incorrectly assumed their target audience prioritized technology trends, Melissa’s team conducted interviews to reveal the real client priorities—revenue, case management, and staffing—emphasizing the need to base marketing strategies on actual, not ideal, client personas.RPC’s tailored “results matter” campaigns have transformed inefficient, “spaghetti-on-the-wall” marketing approaches into clear, focused strategies that improve lead quality and ROI by aligning marketing content with clients’ actual sales objectives and operational goals.  "I think there's too much pressure, and definitely a misapplication, in assuming that marketing is more responsible for lead generation than it really should be. Lead generation is a sales function... Marketing and sales have to work together." — Melissa Rogozinski   Connect with Melissa Rogozinski:  Website: https://rpcgrowthstrategies.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melissarogozinski/ Traffic to Leads Information and links JuvoLeads.com contact page: https://juvoleads.com/contact/ JuvoLeads website: https://juvoleads.com/ Connect with show host Ted DeBettencort: ted@juvoleads.com Ideas or guests for the show: ted@juvoleads.com  Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.
