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
- Low Client Acquisition: The firm struggled to attract new clients, relying heavily on referrals with minimal success in reaching a broader audience.
- Minimal Online Presence: Their Google My Business profile was underutilized, resulting in low visibility and few client reviews.
- 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.
