Using your website to generate more clients can be a very good source of advertising for lawyers. I want to address how multiple calls to action will increase the number of prospects your website will produce.
Depending on the prospect that arrives on your site, you will see a variety of ways they choose to interact with elements on your web page. This is why it's important to provide several means of getting them to take a desired action.
When designing our website, we can't really tell how others will respond to the design since we all have unique tastes. Just because we like it does not mean someone else will. This is the reason that we offer different ways to contact our law firm.
As an illustration, say I want to write a guide that appeals to people with legal problems in my field of practice. What I need to do is display a professional looking graphic of the guide which also is a link to download page where a prospect receives the guide in exchange for contact information. In addition, I will write a short sentence underneath the graphic which links to the same download page. This way, I will capture people that wish to click on the picture as well as the text.
Another idea is to display your phone number, an offer such as a free case evaluation, and a picture with the same offer on more than just the contact us page of your website. This way a prospect that wants to speak with a lawyer right now can do so. Often potential clients will be at different stages of the process, by providing different methods of contacting you, more site visitors will convert to prospects.
"If a prospect wants to contact me they go to my contact us page!"
Although you should have a contact page which contains all of your relevant information on it, you also need to offer your site visitors a reason to get a hold of you. Think what's in it for them. WHY should they contact you? When you offer them legitimate reasons such as a free e-book or free consultation, then you are appealing to the reasons they WANT to contact you.
If you try out these methods on your firm's website, you will see how online advertising for lawyers can help grow your practice.
