Research shows the time spent on a home page to be from 7 seconds to a fraction of a second. After that they back out to the search engine or dive deeper into the law firm’s website. Amazingly the impression reported of a firm’s website after a fraction of a second to their impression of the law firm after 10 minutes on the website varies little. It is this evidence, along with feedback of clients, that has resulted in law firms feeling like they “have t have a website,” but what impression are you making?
Attorneys main source of new clients remains to be referrals. Often time when a prospective client visits your website, they are looking to confirm said referral. How does your law firm website compare to your competitors? Typically a person will have more than one referral and will be viewing more than one law firm’s website before schedule an initial consultation.
Most lawyers will admit their website needs improvement, but hesitate because they either are not sure who they can trust or because they think that person costs too much. Let me ask you this. How much does has your website costs you so far? It is almost impossible to know what clients you’ve lost, but I had one client who found out. A major truck accident case was considering them and one other firm. They did not retain the client, but did get to ask why. Their competitors new client said it was because the other firm had a more impressive website. Their site cost them a multi-million dollar case. Do your clients mention your website? If you are not hearing how helpful your new clients find your website, you are losing business.
