How to land more legal cases

Whether you’re faced with a fight to acquire or retain topflight legal talent, or the threat big firms pose to smaller firms with limited budgets, the only constant in the legal profession is that it is a never-ending, hyper competitive landscape. If your rainmaking partner is retiring or your ability to generate new cases has stalled, consider reevaluating your marketing efforts.

Inner Architect Media has supported plaintiff law firms in their goal to acquire new clients since 2010. We have produced $450,000,000 in new revenues for our law firm clients since we gained access to public verdict and settlement data in 2016. Many of our clients have served in the most competitive practice areas, including personal injury, toxic tort, employment, and family law.

Law firm growth

Since 2009 we have been contributors to Plaintiff, the magazine for Northern California plaintiffs’ attorneys. Our articles have helped law firms understand how to generate leads, improve intake processes, and produce new case revenues.

Understanding the legal industry

Understanding the legal industry

Whether you are an owner of a successful small law firm or a shareholder in a legal corporation, we understand the key growth challenges your firm faces.

Client acquisition

Attracting clients can be costly, yet marketing efforts are crucial to maintaining a steady flow of cases. This is a top concern for many law firms.

Financial risk

Plaintiff firms that work on a contingency fee basis only get paid if the client wins. This financial risk can strain cash flow and cause stress.

Intense competition

The legal field is highly competitive, with many law firms fighting for the same cases. It’s essential that your firm be visible online. Your website must demonstrate your practice expertise, garner trust, and engage prospective clients to contact your firm.

Efficient intake process

Without a speedy, disciplined, and effective process for responding to potential client inquiries, law firms risk losing important opportunities to land new cases. Many firms don’t recognize that optimizing the intake process is just as important as the marketing efforts they invest in.

Our expertise in law firm marketing

Inner Architect Media developed a service called client intake optimization. This service was born from a consulting project we performed for a toxic tort law firm with great success.

Case study: The challenge

Our client had been spending hundreds of thousands of dollars annually on marketing. Lead volume was high, yet case acquisition was low. They were leaking potential clients and cash. Following is the plan we executed to turn mediocrity into stunning success.

  • Launched Google Ads campaign: We created keyword strategies with superior copy using bid strategies that generated high quality leads.
  • Established a content marketing schedule: We consistently published new blog articles and produced videos that boosted organic search rankings and generated new leads from the firm’s website.
  • Developed a new customer relationship management (CRM) system: We integrated the various lead generation channels to immediately populate the CRM with incoming leads. This enabled the capture of valuable marketing data, which we used to refine future marketing strategies.
  • Introduced live chat: Our live chat agents, with the consent of the prospects, were able to directly connect via phone calls, in real time, from live chat conversations on the website to law firm staff who provided the assistance that would convert these leads.
  • Rapid response protocol: By requiring the firm’s staff to follow up on all lead inquiries within 1 hour, we leveled up the competitive balance between our client and their competitors.
The results

These law firm marketing strategies produced a sustainable and repeatable process that helped our client land 20 new cases worth millions of dollars each in new revenue within 18 months.

Law firms and the digital marketing landscape

Law firms must adapt their marketing approaches to remain competitive and visible in a crowded and ever-changing digital space.

The emergence of content marketing as a cornerstone of a digital marketing strategy cannot be overstated. Producing high-quality, informative content not only enhances a law firm’s online visibility but also establishes trust and credibility among potential clients who are increasingly turning to the internet for legal information.

Of equal importance is SEO in the digital marketing landscape. As consumers often turn to search engines when seeking legal services, law firms must optimize their online content to rank prominently in search results. Implementing SEO best practices ensures that law firms are discoverable by potential clients actively searching for legal expertise, thereby maximizing their visibility and potential client acquisition opportunities.

While content marketing and SEO are critical components for visibility in organic search results, competition for top search rankings is often vicious. Many of our clients have overcome these obstacles through PPC — paid search engine advertising. Time after time we have seen paid advertising on Google become the most effective source for generating new clients for law firms.

Law firms digital marketing

In essence, the evolving digital marketing landscape offers law firms a dynamic and effective means to connect with their target audience, establish authority, and ultimately thrive in an increasingly competitive online environment.
