Social Media

Social media extends your online reach within the legal community and increases exposure to potential clients. In addition, sharing your website and blog content on your various social media profiles can help that content rank higher in the search engines.

A key advantage that social media presents for potential clients is that it is a content-driven search process. Instead of locating a lawyer from an alphabetical or geographical listing, social media allows potential clients to search for a lawyer based on their past experience when dealing with a related situation. And, before the client has even spoken to the lawyer, she can pre-screen the lawyer for his effectiveness at communication, level of expertise, and foreign language capability, if needed.

Some legal websites, including Justia and Avvo, have built dedicated communities where potential clients can ask simple questions and lawyers can respond. Social media extends your online reach within the legal community and increases exposure to potential clients. In addition, sharing your website and blog content on your various social media profiles can help that content rank higher in the search engines.

Our team can show you how to promote your practice on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and other social media websites.

Blogging

A blog is an online journal that displays its entries in reverse chronological order. These websites are often powered by blogging software that simplifies the publishing process such that even authors with little or no technical knowledge should be able to share their knowledge on the Internet. Because of their temporal nature, blog posts are ideal for sharing on social media.

Justia runs BlawgSearch.com, the largest legal blog directory, and provides the backend technology and databases for the ABA Journal's blog directory.

Justia offers blogging services for lawyers, law firms, and practice groups. Learn more about our blogging services for lawyers.
