Avvo

Avvo is an established website where potential clients can search for legal professionals to assist them with their cases and attorneys can advertise their services. Prospective clients frequently check online reviews before hiring attorneys – having a high Avvo rating builds trust among clients while positive online reviews help boost local SEO.

While achieving a higher Avvo ranking can be challenging, there are ways to increase it. For instance, adding client testimonials can help bolster your rating and show how satisfied your clients are. Furthermore, any awards or recognition received should also be added as this can set your profile apart from others and improve search engine rankings.

Promoting yourself on Avvo can also help your ranking, attract new clients, and enhance brand image. However, keep in mind that Avvo is a commercial website and you may incur costs for listing or advertising space.

Avvo goes beyond listing attorneys by state and area of practice to ranking them using its proprietary algorithm, with results displayed both on its site as well as search engines like Google. Avvo boasts of having listings and ratings for 97% of licensed attorneys across the US.

As part of your Avvo profile claim, make sure to include all of your work experience and leadership positions held within professional legal associations. Furthermore, add peer endorsements and awards won – particularly since peer endorsements tend to have a substantial effect on one’s Avvo ranking.

Avvo provides more than just promotion for lawyers and potential clients; their Q+A service has quickly become the most visited part of their website, surpassing even lawyer rating services as far as visitor traffic goes.

Quora

Google users may have come across Quora in their search results on occasion, providing access to an information hub constantly updated by its community of users. Quora serves as an excellent way to find answers or learn something new – it even boasts lawyers and law school students!

Quora users can compose answers for questions on any subject imaginable, with other users being able to read those responses and vote them up or down based on quality and relevance. Furthermore, the platform enables editing existing questions and answers, suggesting edits if an answer is inaccurate or misleading – something useful when answering an obscure query!

When it comes to legal issues, lawyers are usually the best source of advice. Unfortunately, not everyone can afford legal counsel; thus there are other options, including online services offering legal advice free of charge. Such websites can help find you an attorney that meets your case’s criteria while saving you money by comparing quotes from different firms.

Avvo offers free legal advice across a broad spectrum, spanning real estate transactions to divorce proceedings and adoption proceedings. Their site features forums where attorneys answer queries from visitors while sharing their expertise; there is even an in-chat feature where visitors can speak directly with an attorney.

Rocket Lawyer offers another way of accessing legal advice free of charge, though not as comprehensively as Avvo. However, its search function is very helpful and you’ll be able to easily find information regarding specific laws and procedures. Furthermore, it’s easy to use with no subscription fees required!

As with any question-and-answer website, one of the key points when using one should be avoiding legal jargon – especially if your target audience includes general consumers. Furthermore, be sure to specify which state or region your answer pertains to when answering queries regarding local law.

Reddit

Reddit is an immense online community dedicated to discussions on various subjects. These discussions take place within subreddits titled with reddit symbols (“r”) for easy navigation. If you are passionate about law, subreddits such as r/lawyersubreddit offer expert legal advice and tips from attorneys themselves. Reddit’s popularity has skyrocketed over recent years; becoming an effective means of marketing services. One attorney from New Jersey even published an article discussing its use to expand a law practice.

Redditors who seek legal assistance through Reddit typically have very specific queries that require the expertise of a lawyer to address. The r/legaladvice subreddit offers anonymity while giving access to 21 moderators including lawyers and subject matter experts from various fields. Furthermore, many communities offer advice for various legal matters on Reddit; examples include r/tenantrights, r/workersrights and r/childprotectiveservices.

Though this approach may appear risky, it can be an effective way to expand your legal business. Be sure to choose an attention-grabbing title and description.

Some lawyers are using Reddit to answer client inquiries from those unable to afford full-service lawyers, typically those needing advice regarding child custody, divorce or family law matters. It provides them with an overview of the law as well as possible solutions.

Reddit does not impose a minimum fee for these consultations, allowing you to discuss any potential client’s issue prior to agreeing to represent them. You should avoid offering free consultations without being sure that they can keep their word.

Twitter

Twitter is a social networking platform that enables you to post short updates (tweets) for sharing with your followers, as well as follow other people and receive notifications when they tweet something that piques your interest. Twitter can also serve as an excellent way to stay abreast of current affairs – including legal developments or court rulings that might impact on your practice area.

Lawyers and law firms should use Twitter to promote their firm, connect with potential clients and referral sources, and stay abreast of relevant legal news. But it should be remembered that Twitter won’t guarantee fee-paying clients overnight and requires ongoing commitment for success.

Assemble your Twitter network organically by starting with existing contacts from clients, referrers and other sources. Make sure that you regularly review who follows you back if relevant; using software like iUnfollow may also help.

As part of your Twitter strategy, it is crucial that your posts reflect both your brand and message. Post original content such as news or events updates or behind-the-scenes tidbits as well as humorous posts when possible; humor helps set your firm apart from competitors.

Care must also be taken not to disclose anything that would breach client confidentiality on Twitter, such as details about their case or personal life. Furthermore, avoid posting hashtags which might be offensive or controversial.

Finally, using a tool like Sprout can help law firms schedule posts at times when their target audiences are most likely to be on Twitter. Auto-retweeting has been known to cause legal firms in trouble with Twitter’s user policy rules; to learn more on how to build and manage a successful social media campaign for law firms please attend one of our free webinars.
