7 Reasons Lawyers Don’t Get More Personal Injury Cases
You have to be Strategic with your Marketing Dollars.
That means having the RIGHT Message- Delivered to the RIGHT Audience, and through the RIGHT Platform-
Your Message- needs to Address what’s on the minds of your prospects- what is keeping them up at night-
You have to differentiate yourself from all the other lawyers out there clamoring to reach those same prospects.
Your Audience- You have to Identify and then Target the Right demographic – Look at your top cases- who are these people? Where do they live? What are their viewing and listening habits?
Your Platform- You have to Take your Unique Message to the People you want to reach- You have to Go where they are-
For Example- is you want to get more Workers Comp cases, then running radio ads on the local oldies station isn’t likely to work.
If you want to reach Social Security prospects, then you probably shouldn’t be focusing energy and dollars on Tik Tok-
If you are running FB ads- you need to make sure your settings aren’t overreaching- but are targeting the people you want to reach.
You can spend a tremendous amount of money on Legal Marketing and STILL NOT hit the mark- The key is being Strategic.

WRONG. Your Firm’s Website is Critically Important- it’s foundational. BUT- there’s a right way and a wrong way to design and build your website. There really is such a thing as TOO MUCH information.
You only have a minute or two to connect with a user whose found your website and you don’t want to blow the opportunity by throwing so much at them that they get sensory overload.
You need a CLEAR Message- a Message that pops, resonates- and sets you apart from the rest.
You need to Give relevant- easy to read content- organized in a user-friendly way.
You need drop down menus- and a user fast load time- If your site takes too long to load, you’ve lost before you’ve even begun.
And you need a clear call to action- Give your visitors something helpful they can download- in exchange for capturing their email address- You can use that email address to nurture them through a future email drip campaign.
Give them TOO MUCH information- and they don’t know where to begin- it looks too complicated, and they will just go somewhere else.
And remember the golden nugget- Your Website should be all about what’s in it for them- and not a vanity page that’s all about YOU.
