Background

A reputable family law firm based in Waterloo, had a long history of providing compassionate and effective legal services. However, they faced challenges in attracting new clients, as traditional word-of-mouth referrals were no longer enough to sustain and grow the practice. The firm had limited online visibility, few Google My Business reviews, and a stagnant client base. Thompson & Associates needed a comprehensive digital marketing strategy to enhance their online presence, attract new clients, and increase revenue.

Challenges

  1. Low Client Acquisition: The firm struggled to attract new clients, relying heavily on referrals with minimal success in reaching a broader audience.
  2. Minimal Online Presence: Their Google My Business profile was underutilized, resulting in low visibility and few client reviews.
  3. Stagnant Revenue: With fewer new clients, the firm’s revenue had plateaued, making it difficult to grow and expand their services.

Objectives

  • Increase Client Acquisition: Attract more clients seeking family law services through targeted digital marketing efforts.
  • Enhance Online Presence: Improve the firm’s visibility on Google and other search engines to capture more local traffic.
  • Drive Revenue Growth: Increase the number of new clients and overall revenue by converting online leads into consultations and cases.
  • Boost Google My Business Reviews: Increase the number of positive reviews to build trust and credibility online.

    • We also implemented localized ads to target individuals in Waterloo and surrounding areas who were in need of legal assistance with divorce, child custody, and other family law matters.
  3. Content Marketing and Social Media Engagement:

    • Social media campaigns were run on platforms like Facebook and LinkedIn, focusing on client testimonials, legal tips, and updates, driving engagement and attracting potential clients.
  4. Google My Business (GMB) Review Campaign:
    • We encouraged satisfied clients to leave reviews on the firm’s GMB profile through follow-up emails and SMS reminders after successful case outcomes.
