In today’s digital-first world, video marketing can be a game-changer for law firms. It gives attorneys the option of speaking directly to potential clients while showing empathy and professionalism.
Since law is deeply personal, clients want to trust the person they are hiring, especially when dealing with sensitive matters like personal injury and divorce. Having short but high-quality videos for your law firm’s website explaining how cases are handled can go a long way in inspiring trust and confidentiality.
Here are reasons why law firms should opt for video marketing:
To Increase Engagement
Video marketing is a great way to improve engagement and conversion rates in legal matters. A potential client is more likely to seek the services of a law firm just by watching different short videos explaining what to do after being in a car accident. For example, how to handle DUI cases among other instances.
That way, the potential client is engaged in a conversation that explains legal information that he or she is looking for. Data shows that landing pages with videos can increase the conversion rates of a law firm by up to 80%.
Think of a 2-minute video clip of an attorney explaining how the law firm helped a client win compensation for being a victim of an accident. It feels real and real builds trust.
Explain Legal Terms and Build Credibility
Law is filled with lots of complex legal jargon that is always confusing for most people. Through video marketing, attorneys are able to break down legal concepts into simple information. This is something that is appreciated by most potential clients.
Video testimonials from happy clients can also be more persuasive than text because they help establish credibility through demonstrated results. It shows potential clients what working with the law firm is really like.
Improves Ranking
Google loves videos. Actually, a website with videos is 53 times more likely to reach the front page in Google searches. By uploading a series of YouTube videos and embedding them on the website, it increases the digital footprint of a law firm and drives traffic, leading to increased conversion rates.
Since most law firms use texts on their websites, a video strategy helps a firm stand out in a crowded market. Also, a short video can easily be shared amongst clients via different platforms.
Creates a Lasting Impression
It is much easier to watch a short video compared to reading an entire webpage. According to psychology, people are more likely to remember what they can see and hear as opposed to reading.
A compelling video can make a law firm stand out from the competition. Law firms can also repurpose their short videos for multiple platforms such as their websites, social media channels, email campaigns, and online ads.
Conclusion
Video content is incredibly versatile and cost-effective in the long run. In a world where attention spans are short and there are plenty of text-based law websites, video marketing provides a more personal, powerful, and modern way to connect and communicate with potential clients. Whether the video marketing strategy is to inform, inspire, or convert potential clients, it will always deliver loud and clear.
