When building a conversion-focused website, you need to include five things: a clear marketing message, prominent calls to action, authentic photos and video content, social proof, and lead captures.
In addition, you’ll want to determine who your ideal client is, what problems you’re able to solve for them, how to solve the problems, how you’ve successfully solved the problems previously, and why someone should choose you over your competitors.
Building a website with these elements in mind will help you attract the clients you want for your firm. We’ll show you how in this blog post.
Creating a clear marketing message on your website hinges on addressing five pivotal points.
First, identifying your target audience is the key to getting the clients you want. Knowing who you serve provides a foundation for tailoring your message to resonate deeply with them.
Next, articulate the problems you solve. This positions you as a solution provider rather than a service lister.
In addition, explain how you tackle these issues, showcasing your expertise. Simplify your approach into three to five steps to help your potential clients understand the legal process.
Also, substantiate your claims with evidence of past successes. Demonstrating proven results instills trust and confidence in potential clients.
Finally, set yourself apart from competitors by articulating what makes your law firm unique. Highlight your strengths, specialization, or approach that distinguishes you in the market.
Answering these questions ensures your website's messaging is precise, compelling, and resonant with your target audience, ultimately driving client conversion.
Prominent calls to action are the signposts that guide visitors toward meaningful engagement. By explicitly telling people what steps to take to get started, you eliminate any ambiguity, making the process more straightforward.
Simplicity is key; a clear CTA streamlines the user experience, reducing friction and increasing the likelihood of action.
Moreover, connecting the call to action with a successful outcome paints a vivid picture of the benefits awaiting them. It reinforces the idea that taking action leads to positive results, compelling visitors to seize the opportunity presented.
Well-placed and explicit calls to action serve as a direct pathway toward conversion and client acquisition.
Authentic photo and video content will help establish a human connection with your audience and help build trust with your potential clients before they even meet you. It will also set you apart from other law firms who choose not to use authentic photo and video content.
Additionally, if you use generic stock photography, those stock images and videos might not fully align with your firm culture. They can deter potential clients from seeing the true personality of your firm.
Your website should always feature authentic hero images, team photos, headshots, office details, and general lifestyle photos.
Social proof helps you establish credibility, demonstrate authority, and paint a picture of success. When adding social proof to your site, make sure testimonials, reviews, awards and recognitions, case results, and case studies are included. These things will signal to your potential clients that you can be trusted to solve their problem.
If you haven’t received any reviews recently, or you’re a new firm and you’ve yet to receive any reviews, don’t be afraid to reach out to previous and current clients or professional colleagues to leave reviews for your firm.
Lead magnets are also a great way to get a potential client’s attention. Things like E-Books, PDF checklists, on-demand webinars, online assessments, white papers, and digital resources are ways to keep your clients engaged with your site and turn leads into customers. With any lead capture, you’ll want to make the following things clear
This will not only position you as an authority to your potential client, but it will also provide a way for you to build a lead list that can be marketed to in the days and weeks ahead.
