Search Engine Marketing

SEM for the Legal Profession

Search Engine Marketing for attorneys or (SEM) is another one of those terms that can be broad in its use. If not careful, lawyers who are unfamiliar with how search engine marketing works can be taken advantage of. SEM is the ability to spend your marketing dollars on Internet advertising that will help maximize the visibility of your law firm’s website.

This is another area of advertising that should be implemented by a marketing company familiar with the legal industry. Otherwise lawyers, if not watchful, can simply throw money into the wind.

A good attorney SEM strategy should include the following areas:

Lawyer banner advertising
Google local maps set up and optimization for law firms
Attorney directory placement
Proper top spot placement by practice area
Law firm pay per click campaigns
Law firm specific inbound linking

Before you spend a lot of money on your SEM project, ensure that your website has the proper search engine optimization. If not, you could be spending a lot more money than needed to get optimal traffic. The best way to drive traffic to your website is to ensure your website is properly optimized.

A proper search engine marketing strategy for law firms should add additional traffic to a well-built law firm website. A good SEM strategy will include all of the bullet points listed above. Note that it can be very expensive to purchase top spots in legal directories. However, a large portion of the expense can be avoided by ensuring the proper top spots are purchased. A search engine marketing strategy for attorneys is much like a law firm’s advertising tactics. Each law firm’s advertising strategy can be different depending on the firm’s strengths, image, etc.
