What Visitors Need to See in Five Seconds
Five seconds is our rule of thumb for how long a visitor gives a law firm website. What they must see in that window, and what they check before they call.
Quick answerHow does a law firm turn online interest into signed cases?
A search becomes a case through a connected path: someone finds the firm, understands whether it handles their matter, makes an inquiry, speaks with intake and decides whether to hire. Visibility alone cannot finish that journey. Review the page and the handoff together. Give each inquiry a clear next step and an owner, then record which suitable inquiries become consultations and signed cases.
Read the full answerWho does Rubiks help?
U.S. law firms that want more qualified inquiries.
When should a firm talk to Rubiks?
When you can't see where new cases come from, or why inquiries are being lost.
Where does it start?
With a search. Someone types their problem into Google, a map, or an AI tool.
What happens when they find you?
Your website has seconds. They need to see, fast, that you handle their matter and how to reach you.
What turns a visit into an inquiry?
An easy next step. A visible number, a short form, and one-tap contact.
What happens after they reach out?
A prompt, helpful response can move a suitable inquiry toward a consultation. Intake still needs to check fit and give the person a clear next step.
Where do most firms lose people?
People can leave at any handoff. Check the firm's own inquiry records and contact path to locate the gap rather than assuming which step loses the most cases.
Quick answerWhy aren't potential clients finding your firm online?
Check where the firm becomes hard to find or hard to choose. Its Google profile should describe the right services and office. Its website should answer the matters people search for. Reviews should be genuine and recent enough to be useful, and contact details should agree across listings. Compare those basics with the searches and locations you actually want to serve before buying more traffic.
Read the full answerAre referrals enough to grow a firm?
Referrals are valuable, but you can't control when they arrive.
What does a potential client see before calling?
Usually your search result, your reviews, and your website, in that order.
Are you showing up on Google Maps?
Check the profile's accuracy, categories and website, then compare results in the relevant area. Local visibility also depends on distance and prominence.
Does your site show up in search?
Match useful pages to the questions and matters people actually search for. A page alone does not guarantee that it will appear for every search.
Do you have reviews they can see?
Proof guides the way. Reviews help people choose, and they help you get seen.
Is your information the same everywhere?
Mixed signals get lost. Matching details across the web build trust with clients and Google.
What's the fix?
Turn on the light. Profile, pages, reviews, and consistent details, working together.
Quick answerShould your firm invest in SEO or ads first?
Start with the firm's timeline, target matters and intake capacity. Paid ads can test demand sooner, while organic visibility takes time to build. Neither channel helps much if the landing page is confusing or calls go unanswered. Fix those gaps, choose an affordable test and judge the result by suitable inquiries and signed cases. A balanced mix can work, but it is not the right answer for every firm.
Read the full answerDo you need the biggest marketing budget to compete?
No. A focused choice of cases and market can beat trying to compete everywhere.
Does a top ranking guarantee cases?
No. The visitor still has to reach out and become a suitable client.
Which is faster?
Ads get you up quickly. Ads can put your firm in front of people almost right away.
What's the catch with ads?
You pay for every ride. When the budget ends, the visibility ends too.
Why choose SEO?
Organic visibility takes work to build and maintain. Useful pages can keep attracting visitors, but results are not permanent or guaranteed.
When do ads make the most sense?
When you need calls now. Launches, new locations, or filling a quiet stretch.
Quick answerWhy are people visiting your website but not contacting you?
A visitor needs to understand that the firm handles their problem, trust the people behind it and find an easy way to reach them. Look at the actual page on a phone. Is the practice clear? Are the attorneys and relevant proof visible? Does the phone link work, and is the form short enough to complete? Fix the step where people leave before spending more to attract them.
Read the full answerWhat should a visitor understand in five seconds?
Whether you handle their case, and how to reach you.
What happens when a potential client can't reach you?
They don't wait. They go to the next firm.
Do they know you handle their case?
Name the matters the firm handles clearly. A visitor who cannot establish fit may leave rather than contact intake.
Do they trust you yet?
Give people useful reasons to trust the firm: real attorneys, relevant experience and appropriate, supportable proof.
Can they find the way to reach you?
The exit is easier than the front desk. A buried phone number or long form sends them back out the door.
What makes them stay?
Relevant information, credible people and an easy next step can improve the contact path. Measure whether suitable inquiries increase.
Isn't more traffic the answer?
Not if they keep leaving. More visitors won't help until the lobby gives them a reason to stay.
Quick answerWhy are you getting leads but not signing more cases?
Separate unsuitable inquiries from suitable ones that the firm loses during intake. Check case type, location, response time, follow-up and who owns the next step. Record the reason each inquiry closes without a consultation or engagement. That turns a vague lead-quality complaint into a specific fix. More submissions are useful only when the firm can identify, contact and help the people it wants to serve.
Read the full answerIs every form submission a good lead?
No. It only counts if the case fits what your firm takes.
Which number matters after lead volume?
How many suitable inquiries become consultations, and then signed cases.
How fast do you follow up?
Slow replies lose good leads. The longer a lead waits, the more likely they hire someone else.
What happens during intake?
Gaps in the handoff. If no one owns the next step, good leads quietly disappear.
Do you know where leads are lost?
Tracking suitable inquiries through intake helps show where follow-up stops or the next step becomes unclear. Record missing data as well as outcomes.
What's the fix?
Mend the net. Better-fit leads, faster follow-up, a clear handoff, and tracking.
Quick answerHow does someone choose between two similar law firms?
People compare more than practice labels. They look for clear answers, real attorneys, relevant experience, trustworthy reviews and a simple first conversation. Make those details easy to see instead of relying on broad promises about results. Check the phone experience as carefully as the desktop page. A firm that explains what happens next gives a prospective client more useful reasons to choose it.
Read the full answerDo reviews matter before the first call?
Yes. They help a client assess your firm, but they don't decide everything.
Can someone contact your firm easily from a phone?
Make the next step visible and simple, right on the first screen.
What if both firms look the same?
When firms give people few useful differences, the decision is harder. Explain relevant experience, fit and the first conversation clearly.
What tips it first?
Clarity. The firm that names the client's exact problem wins attention.
What builds confidence?
Real attorneys, verified credentials and appropriately presented experience give people evidence they can assess. Avoid implying guaranteed results.
What seals it?
Being easy to reach. The firm that's easiest to contact often gets the call.
Quick answerWhich practice area should your firm focus on first?
Choose a practice the firm wants to grow and can handle well. Consider suitable demand in the market, attorney capacity, the economics of the work and the firm's existing evidence of experience. Build a clear page and intake route for that practice before spreading the same budget across every service or city. Expansion should follow a working process, rather than a longer list of target keywords.
Read the full answerShould you promote every practice area equally?
No. Put your budget behind the cases you want and can serve well.
Should you start marketing a new city right away?
First confirm you can genuinely serve inquiries from that market.
What are people searching for?
Start with demand. Some cases are searched for far more than others in your market.
Which cases are worth more?
Consider the economics and effort of different matters alongside client fit and attorney capacity. Lead cost alone does not tell the whole story.
Can you take on more of them?
Check your capacity. Don't aim at more cases than your firm can serve well.
Where do you want to grow?
Match your goals. Pick the area that fits the firm you're building.
Quick answerHow do you know if your marketing spend is working?
Follow spending through to suitable inquiries, consultations and signed cases. Traffic and rankings help explain how people found the firm, but they do not establish a business result by themselves. Connect call and form sources with intake records, and show the limits of that attribution. A monthly report should explain what changed, which opportunities reached the firm and what the next decision should be.
Read the full answerAre more website visits a business result?
Only if the right people visit and take a useful next step.
What should a monthly report answer?
What you spent, what came in, and what happened to those inquiries.
What should come next?
Qualified inquiries. Calls and forms from people with cases you actually take.
Where does money leak?
A mismatch between target matters and incoming inquiries, or gaps in follow-up, can waste spending. Use intake records to find the actual cause.
What's the real result?
Signed cases. Everything before this is a step, not the goal.
What if you can't see the last gauge?
Then you're guessing. Track spend through to signed cases wherever the data exists.
Quick answerDo you need a new website, or should you fix the one you have?
Diagnose the problem before choosing a rebuild. A working site with dated presentation may need a visual refresh. Unclear practice pages or poor conversion may need content and layout changes. A platform that cannot support necessary work may justify a rebuild. Preserve valuable URLs and plan redirects where needed. Judge the decision by what clients and the firm's team need to do, rather than the appeal of a new mockup.
Read the full answerCan social media replace your website?
No. Your website still has to explain your services and turn interest into contact.
What's worth publishing on a law firm website?
Clear answers to the real questions clients ask before they call.
Is something actually broken?
Check under the hood. Speed, broken pages, and technical issues can often be fixed without starting over.
Does it just look dated?
It might only need new paint. An outdated look can usually be refreshed on the same foundation.
Does it bring in inquiries?
Check the dashboard. If people visit but don't reach out, clear pages and contact options need work.
When is a rebuild worth it?
When the frame can't grow. If your site can't grow with your firm, rebuilding can save money later.
How do you decide?
Run a full inspection first. An honest audit tells you which one you actually need.
Quick answerWhat should you ask before hiring a legal marketing agency?
Ask who will do the work, what the firm will receive, how results will be measured and who owns the website, accounts and content. Request examples you can check and a clear description of the first phase. The agency should explain its approach to the firm's practice and market in plain language. Promises about rankings are less useful than specific deliverables, accountability and an honest view of the starting point.
Read the full answerWhat does Rubiks focus on?
Helping law firms get found, receive the right inquiries, and see the results clearly.
What happens after you request an audit?
A 30-minute call, then a free audit of your website: what to fix now and what to focus on long term.
Have they worked with firms like yours?
Experience. Ask for real examples with law firms, not just a client list.
What exactly will they deliver?
Deliverables. Get the work and the timeline in writing.
How will you measure success?
Connect marketing activity with suitable inquiries, consultations and signed cases wherever the data permits. Ask the agency to explain what it can and cannot attribute.
Who owns your website and accounts?
Put ownership, access, hosting, content and exit arrangements in writing. Check which licenses or third-party services transfer with the agreement.
What should you expect, and when?
Expectations. Clear checkpoints and honest timelines, never guarantees.
Quick answerWhy doesn't your firm show up on Google Maps?
Google says local results mainly depend on relevance, distance and prominence. Make the profile accurate, choose categories that reflect the real practice and support those services on the website. Keep office and contact details consistent and build genuine evidence of the firm's reputation. Results vary with the person searching and their location. Compare searches across the area you serve rather than treating one screenshot as the whole market.
Read the full answerIs a Google Business Profile enough on its own?
No. It works best with a website that backs up every claim.
Does your office location affect who sees you?
Yes. Google considers the distance between a business and the person searching, alongside relevance and prominence.
What does Google actually check?
Relevance. Distance. Prominence. Google names these three as the main factors behind local results.
Does Google know what you handle?
Relevance. Pick your most specific category and describe your services in plain words.
Why do some firms look more established?
Google describes prominence as how well-known a business is, informed by sources such as links and reviews. A complete profile and useful website support an accurate presence; no action guarantees a position.
Quick answerHow do you get more reviews without breaking bar rules?
Use a neutral request that makes leaving an honest review easy. Follow the firm's confidentiality obligations, applicable bar rules and the platform's rules. Avoid incentives, pressure, review gating and requests for a particular rating. Decide when the team can ask without exposing a client's matter. A consistent, respectful process is more useful than a one-off push for five-star reviews.
Read the full answerWhen is the best time to ask for a review?
Choose an appropriate moment in the relationship for an honest, neutral request. A thank-you can be a natural opportunity, provided the firm's rules and confidentiality permit it.
Should a firm reply to every review?
Not automatically. Decide whether a response is appropriate and keep it free of case details. Some reviews are best left unanswered or reported under the platform's rules.
How should you ask?
Make it personal and easy. One sentence, one link, no pressure.
What can't you offer?
Do not offer incentives for reviews. Follow both the review platform's rules and the firm's applicable professional rules.
Can you ask for 5 stars?
Ask for an honest review, without naming a desired rating or filtering out people who might leave criticism.
What keeps reviews coming?
Use a consistent, neutral process. Review volume and timing should follow genuine client experiences rather than a target that encourages pressure.
Quick answerWhat should your firm do about a negative review?
Pause before replying. Decide whether the review violates the platform's rules and whether a public response is appropriate. A response should remain calm and avoid confirming a client relationship or discussing any matter. Offer a private contact route where useful. Have the firm's responsible attorney review the approach. Correcting every allegation publicly can create a confidentiality problem instead of solving a reputation problem.
Read the full answerCan a reply mention case details?
Do not disclose information about a matter in a public reply. The client's own post does not by itself authorize the firm to reveal confidential information.
Does one bad review sink a firm?
One review rarely tells the whole story. Consider the wider record, the review's content and whether a response is appropriate; do not try to bury criticism with manufactured reviews.
Should you reply right away?
Pause first. Reply when you're calm, not when you're upset.
What should the reply say?
If the firm responds, keep the wording professional and avoid confirming a client relationship or discussing a matter. Offer a private contact route where appropriate.
Who is the reply really for?
Future clients. People judge your firm by how you respond.
Quick answerHow do people actually search for a lawyer?
A person may search for a legal problem, a type of lawyer, a location or the firm's name after a referral. Those searches need different answers. Explain the problem clearly, show which matters the firm handles and make the correct office and contact route easy to find. Useful legal directories can support discovery and trust, but a listing should not replace the firm's own clear practice information.
Read the full answerDo “near me” searches matter for law firms?
Yes, local searches can help people find a suitable office. Their urgency varies, so make the relevant location and contact route clear.
Are legal directories still worth listing on?
The reputable ones are. They build trust and keep your details consistent.
What does a “need” search look like?
They describe the problem. They may not know what kind of lawyer they need yet. Answer the question first.
What about a “type” search?
They know the lawyer they need. Your practice-area page has to prove you handle it.
Does your site answer all three?
Most sites answer one. Cover all three and you meet clients wherever they start.
What should each search find?
Match the page to the moment. Right page, right moment.
Quick answerHow long does SEO really take for a law firm?
The timeline depends on the starting site, competition, market and work being done. Early activity often involves correcting access, pages, profiles and measurement before a change in inquiries is visible. Track completed work and search visibility alongside suitable inquiries. Avoid a fixed ranking or case-flow promise. Review the evidence at agreed intervals so quiet months still have a clear explanation and a specific next step.
Read the full answerWhy does month one feel so quiet?
Because the groundwork comes before anything visible.
What usually improves first?
The order varies. Watch completed work, relevant visibility, clicks and suitable inquiries together rather than assuming one will always improve first.
When do inquiries pick up?
Often months 3 to 6. It depends on your market, competition, and starting point.
What slows it down?
Competition and past damage. Tough markets and past bad SEO add time.
What happens if you stop?
Visibility needs continuing attention as competitors, search results and the firm change. Pausing work does not cause an automatic or predictable ranking decline.
Quick answerWill ChatGPT and Google's AI recommend your firm?
No firm can guarantee that an AI tool will recommend it. Accurate public details, credible attorney information and clear, useful content make the firm easier to understand and verify. Some tools retrieve current web sources; answers can vary by query and over time. Check the questions prospective clients might ask, correct errors at their source and measure actual referrals or visits where the data allows.
Read the full answerWhat is an AI Overview?
The AI-written summary Google shows above regular search results.
Does AI search replace Google?
AI features are part of some search experiences, while conventional results continue. What a person sees and clicks depends on their question and the tool.
Where does AI get its answers?
Depending on the tool and query, answers can draw on learned information and current web sources. Check the sources the answer shows and whether they accurately describe the firm.
What makes AI mention a firm?
Accurate, consistent information and credible supporting sources make a firm easier to verify. They do not guarantee a mention or recommendation.
Why do some firms never appear?
Limited or conflicting public information can make the firm difficult to identify. An omitted mention alone does not reveal the model's reason.
What can your firm do now?
Answer real questions clearly. Clear answers on your site are what AI can quote.
Quick answerWhy is AI answering your clients' questions before they reach your site?
An AI summary can answer a simple question before someone visits the source page. That changes the value of some informational traffic, but it does not make every blog or practice page unnecessary. Publish specific help that adds local context, attorney experience or a useful next decision. Review the firm's own query and inquiry data before assuming it has the same traffic change reported in an industry study.
Read the full answerIs blog traffic dropping for everyone?
No universal drop should be assumed. Review the site's own queries, pages, dates and inquiry outcomes before deciding what changed.
What content still gets clicked?
Specific, local, experience-based answers a summary can't replace.
Which questions lose clicks?
A summary can satisfy a simple question without a source-page visit. It will not do so for every question or every searcher.
Should you stop blogging?
No. Change what you write. Fewer generic posts, more genuinely useful ones.
Can AI send clients to you?
Yes, if you're the source. Being cited in the answer can still bring visits.
Quick answerWhat makes AI tools trust a law firm?
A clear identity is easier to verify. Keep the firm's name, offices, practice areas and contact details accurate across its website and important listings. Show real attorneys, their relevant credentials and who reviewed substantive legal content. Use specific explanations instead of unsupported authority claims. These are useful trust signals for people and systems, although they cannot guarantee a citation or recommendation.
Read the full answerDo attorney bios really matter?
Yes. Accurate bios show who is responsible for the work and what relevant credentials they hold. That helps people assess the firm without guaranteeing an AI citation.
Does it matter if your details differ across sites?
Yes. Mismatched details weaken your trust signals.
Do reviews count?
Genuine reviews help people evaluate a firm and may appear among public sources an AI tool retrieves. Their effect on a particular response is not guaranteed.
What about your content?
Clear answers, clearly written. Plain, direct answers are easier to trust and to quote.
What breaks trust?
Mismatched details. Old addresses and wrong numbers weaken every other signal.
Quick answerShould law firms use AI to write their content?
AI can assist with organization and first drafts, but it cannot take responsibility for legal accuracy. Have a qualified human check the facts, sources, jurisdiction and final wording. Add the firm's own experience where it helps the reader. Do not publish large amounts of generic content simply because it is easy to produce. The useful distinction is whether the finished page is accurate and valuable.
Read the full answerCan AI-written content hurt rankings?
Low-value content created at scale can violate Google's spam policies regardless of whether a person or an AI tool wrote it. Focus on the finished page's accuracy and usefulness.
Who should review legal content before it goes live?
An attorney, every time.
Where does AI help?
Outlines and first drafts. It speeds up the starting point.
Where does it hurt?
Accuracy and judgment. AI can sound confident and still be wrong.
What makes it yours?
Real experience. Experience is what makes content worth reading.
Quick answerWhat happens when AI gets your firm's details wrong?
Record the exact question and the incorrect answer before changing anything. Check the firm's own website, profile and important listings for the same error. Correct the source, keep the details consistent and use the tool's feedback option where available. Check again later with the same question. An updated source can help, but it does not guarantee when or whether every AI response will change.
Read the full answerHow do you check what AI says about your firm?
Ask it directly, the way a potential client would.
Can you fix wrong information?
Correct information on sources the firm controls and request changes to inaccurate listings. Check the result again; an AI system may not immediately reflect the correction.
Where do errors come from?
Old or conflicting sources. One wrong listing can echo everywhere.
What should you check?
The details clients act on. Any one of these being wrong can cost you a call.
How often should you check?
Regularly. Make it part of your routine, not a one-time task.
Quick answerWhat happens to your firm's calls after 5 PM?
Choose an after-hours process the firm can actually support. A trained answering service, on-call team or clear callback system should capture enough information for a safe handoff. Set an owner and a realistic response window. Avoid collecting unnecessary sensitive details or giving case-specific advice through an automated channel. Test what a caller experiences after closing time instead of assuming the voicemail or forwarding rule works.
Read the full answerDo people really call law firms after hours?
Some people contact a firm outside office hours. Check the firm's call and form timestamps to size the actual need.
Voicemail or a live answer?
A trained live answer can make the next step easier, if the handoff works. Where the firm uses voicemail, give clear expectations and follow up reliably.
What are your options?
Answering service, on-call staff, or smart forms. Pick what fits your firm's size and budget.
What should after-hours intake capture?
The basics, fast. Enough to follow up first thing, or sooner.
When should you call back?
Set a response window and owner the firm can sustain. Follow up promptly, respecting the person's preferences and the urgency of the inquiry.
Quick answerHow fast should your firm respond to a new inquiry?
Respond as promptly as the firm can reliably manage, with a clear next step. Route new inquiries to a named person or rotation and make sure an alert reaches them. Start with the channel the person used and ask how they prefer to be contacted. Respect consent and confidentiality. Measure real human follow-up time; an automated acknowledgment does not show that intake has contacted the person.
Read the full answerDoes the first firm to respond often win?
A prompt response helps a person move forward, but it does not establish that the first firm will be hired. Fit, trust and the intake conversation still matter.
Text or call first?
Follow how they reached you, then ask how they prefer to be contacted.
Why does speed matter so much?
They're contacting more than one firm. Assume they've reached out to others too.
What slows firms down?
Busy staff and no alerts. Most delays are process gaps, not lazy people.
What should the first reply do?
Confirm and schedule. Fast, human, and focused on the next step.
How do you make speed consistent?
Alerts and ownership. Someone gets notified, and someone is responsible.
Quick answerShould your law firm's website have a chat agent?
Use chat when it makes reaching the firm easier and the team can handle the handoff. It can share approved general information, capture basic contact details and help arrange the next step. It should clearly identify its role, offer a human contact route and avoid case-specific legal advice. Check what happens to every conversation after it ends. An unanswered chat transcript is another missed inquiry.
Read the full answerCan a chatbot give legal advice?
The firm's automated chat should avoid case-specific legal advice. Use it for approved general information and a clear handoff to a qualified person.
What should a chat agent actually do?
Answer basic questions, capture details, and book the next step.
When should a human take over?
As soon as it's serious. A real person should step in fast.
What makes a chat agent annoying?
Too many questions, no way out. Keep it short and always offer a phone number.
Is it worth it?
Only if someone follows up. A chat that captures details no one reads is wasted.
Quick answerHow do you know which marketing brought in a case?
Connect the source of a call or form with the intake record and the eventual outcome. Call tracking can distinguish marketing channels, while forms can retain source information. Intake should also ask how the person heard about the firm. The answers may differ because someone encountered the firm more than once. Keep those limits visible and use the evidence to improve decisions rather than assigning false precision to every case.
Read the full answerWhat is call tracking?
Unique numbers that show which channel made the phone ring.
What should intake ask every caller?
“How did you hear about us?” Every single time.
What about web forms?
Tag where they came from. Forms can record which page and channel sent the visitor.
What if the data disagrees?
Look for patterns. Clients often find you more than one way.
What's the real payoff?
Spend more on what works. Tracking tells you where to put your budget.
Quick answerDoes your law firm need Spanish-language marketing?
Look at the clients the firm wants to serve and the inquiries it already receives. Spanish-language pages are useful when they are accurate, readable and supported by an appropriate intake experience. Translation alone is not enough if forms, calls and follow-up only work in English. Use fluent reviewers and be clear about the language support available. Build the whole contact path before promoting it.
Read the full answerIs translating your website enough?
Not if no one on your team can answer in Spanish.
Who should answer Spanish-speaking callers?
Someone fluent, from the very first hello.
How do you know if you need it?
Look at who you serve. Check your area and the inquiries you already get.
What happens when they call?
Someone needs to answer in Spanish. A Spanish website with English-only intake breaks trust.
Where else should Spanish show up?
Everywhere they find you. Your profile, forms, and follow-up should match.
What's the payoff?
Language support can make the firm easier to understand and contact. It should match the actual service and intake capacity available.
Quick answerHow can cheap SEO quietly hurt your law firm?
A low price is not the problem by itself. The warning signs are hidden work, bought or manipulative links, near-identical pages and promises the agency cannot substantiate. Ask what is being changed and why. Google treats links intended to manipulate rankings and scaled low-value content as spam risks. Keep ownership of the site's accounts and review the actual work, not just a report of activity.
Read the full answerAre more backlinks always better?
No. Check whether links are useful, relevant and obtained legitimately rather than treating the largest count as the best result.
Can bad SEO hold a site back?
Yes, manipulative tactics can affect visibility. Identify the actual issue and review Google's guidance before claiming a penalty or predicting recovery.
What does spam content look like?
Repeated, near-identical pages with little useful substance can indicate a problem. Check the content and purpose, not just how many posts appeared in a day.
What are the warning signs?
Promises that sound too good. Real SEO doesn't come with guarantees like these.
How do you protect your firm?
Ask what's being done. You should see exactly what's being built, and where.
Quick answerWhat advertising rules should law firm marketing follow?
The firm's applicable jurisdiction decides the advertising requirements. Start with truthful, supportable statements, then review testimonials, comparisons, case results, paid recommendations and required disclosures against the relevant rules. ABA Model Rules provide a useful reference, but they are not automatically the rules in every state. Have the responsible attorney approve the final material before it is published.
Read the full answerCan a firm call itself “the best”?
An unsupported claim can mislead. The firm should check whether the specific wording and evidence satisfy its applicable rules before using it.
Can you show case results?
Check the applicable rules and the facts of the example. Obtain permission where necessary and have the responsible attorney approve the presentation and required disclosures.
What's the core rule?
Advertising must be truthful and supportable under the firm's applicable rules. ABA Model Rule 7.1 is a reference; the governing state rules control.
Can you pay for recommendations?
Review paid recommendations, referral arrangements and advertising costs under the applicable rules. ABA Model Rule 7.2 contains specific limits and exceptions; it is not a blanket ban on paid advertising.
What should every firm do?
Check your state's rules. Your state bar's rules decide what's allowed.
Quick answerDoes social media actually bring in cases?
Social media can help a firm become familiar and give prospective clients a useful view of its people and work. Direct inquiries may also occur, depending on the practice and audience. Choose a channel the intended clients use and publish material the team can sustain. Connect useful posts with the matching website answer. Measure meaningful conversations and assisted inquiries as well as direct leads.
Read the full answerWhich platform works best for law firms?
The one your clients already use. Start with one and do it well.
How often should a firm post?
Consistently. Steady beats occasional bursts.
Does social media get direct calls?
It can, depending on the practice and audience. Social content may also support recognition, referrals and a person's later decision to contact the firm.
What does it actually do?
It makes your firm familiar. People remember firms they've seen again and again.
When does it pay off?
Familiarity can help when someone later checks the firm, but it does not guarantee that they will shortlist or hire it.
What should firms post?
Helpful answers and real people. Useful and human beats salesy.
How do you measure it?
Look beyond likes. Track actions, not just reactions.
Quick answerShould attorneys be on camera?
Video can make an attorney easier to understand before a first conversation. Start with a clear introduction or a useful question the firm regularly receives. Use readable captions, clear audio and a stable shot. Choose a short clip or longer explanation to fit the question, and review any legal claims or case references. The goal is a helpful, credible explanation rather than a polished performance.
Read the full answerDoes a homepage video help?
A clear, relevant introduction can help visitors understand the attorney. Keep it easy to use on a phone and test whether it improves the contact path.
Short clips or long explainers?
Short clips to get noticed, longer answers to build trust.
Why does video help?
People hire people. Seeing and hearing an attorney makes the first call easier.
What should the first video be?
A short introduction. Who you are, who you help, and what happens when they call.
Do you need a studio?
No. Good light, clear audio, and a steady shot are enough.
What should you avoid?
Scripts that sound like ads. Talk the way you would in a consultation.
Quick answerWhat should your law firm fix first?
Find the step where a suitable prospective client gets stuck. Check whether people can find the firm, understand the practice, contact it and receive a useful response. Verify measurement so the team can see the result of a change. Fix the largest evidenced gap first. A visible phone number, a manageable form and reliable follow-up are practical starting points when those are the actual problems.
Read the full answerWhat are 3 fixes a firm can make this week?
A visible phone number, a shorter contact form, and faster follow-up.
What happens on a free strategy call?
We review where your inquiries come from, where they're lost, and what to fix first.
Can people find you?
Start with visibility. Your Google profile, practice-area pages, and consistent details.
Can they reach you easily?
Remove friction. A visible number, a short form, and one-tap calling.
Do you respond fast?
Speed wins cases. Alerts, ownership, and after-hours coverage.
Do you know what's working?
Measure all the way to signed cases. Track every case back to its source.
Where do you start?
With the biggest leak. Fix what's costing you the most first.
