Content marketing is a very important part of online marketing for personal injury attorneys, but before I explain all of the options, let’s talk first about what it is.
Content marketing is the creation and sharing of anything you put online about yourself and/or your business. This includes such material as blogs, videos, social media posts, your website and more. The intention is to un-explicitly promote your brand while stimulating interest in your personal injury law services.
How you can use content marketing to boost your personal injury law practice
Earlier, I mentioned blogs, videos, social media posts and websites as content marketing examples. These are only a few of the possibilities of how you can use content online to attract more clients and boost your brand. Here are a few more.
- eBooks and White Papers can be used to boost brand awareness through fleshing out a topic in an authoritative yet easy-to-understand manner. They help to explain and then solve an issue. An eBook topic could be, “5 Things You Need to Know before Hiring a Personal Injury Attorney.” A white paper topic could be, “How to Successfully Give a Deposition.”
- Case Studies are a very effective way to provide credibility for your law firm. Without using client names (or using their name with permission), you can write about the success you had in a med mal case, or a TBI settlement. Case studies usually end with a call to action to contact you.
- Infographics are visual images that usually consist of a visual, chart or diagram to represent specific data or information. They help present content in a visually engaging way. An example could be the “5 Leading Causes and Prevention of Slip and Fall Accidents.”
- Slide Shares are the social media equivalent of a PowerPoint presentation. The information you want to share is displayed in a slideshow format, and can be used for “how to” tips or other information that you want to share. It too is a very appealing visual presentation that can help your brand.
Content marketing is a very important part of your overall marketing strategy. It can give you more referral traffic, more visibility in search engines, improve brand reputation and recognition, and decrease your marketing costs.
