Twitter Law Firm Marketing

As social media expands there are three social networking sites that are leading the pack: Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Among the three, Twitter is easiest to use but there are some small details that can make your law firm marketing twitter campaigns more successful.

Here is a list of five Twitter law firm marketing tips:

1. Add Your Website URL To Your Profile Page

Your website URL is displayed at the top of your profile above your tweets, which is a highly-visible area that can lead to potential clients. This simple tip will make your website easy to find.

2. Use Keywords In Your Tweets

The Twitter search function allows users to type in the search field keywords, just like you would in the search engine. Use keywords that identify your law firm practice area and try to be consistent with them. The more they are used the easier it will be for someone to find you when typing them in the search field.

3. Share Helpful Content

Make sure your content is interesting. If your content is entertaining or helpful, it may be re-tweeted on other profiles, which will help you expand your message and acquire new followers.

4. Follow People Among Your Target Audience

Having a huge Twitter following is one thing, but having a huge following that is related to your niche is another. Try to target followers close to your location, keeping demographics in mind. If you are a nursing home-abuse attorney, then the elderly could compose more of your target audience.

5. Engage Your Audience

Actively participate with your followers. Make sure to answer questions and be helpful. Being personable is a great way to gain trust as well as potential future clients.

Onboard SEO – Internal Links

A major factor for ranking well in the search engines is your onboard SEO (search engine optimization) internal link structure. Interlinking your posts can have huge benefits for your site’s rankings.

There are two main components to ranking well in the search engines onboard SEO and off-page SEO. Onboard SEO refers to everything you do on your site to make it rank better. Onboard SEO is composed, but not limited to, title tags, meta tags, meta description, keyword density and internal links.

Off-page SEO refers to anything not on your site. It begins and ends with getting quality backlinks to your site. Internal links are favorable for ranking because they help users and the search engines navigate to important pages on your website.

Unfortunately, creating internal links can be very time consuming and many overlook this important factor to great search engine optimization.

Below are some ways to create internal links on your website:

  • Create a sitemap. A sitemap creates a list of all of your content on your site. If you are using a WordPress platform then there is a great plugin that can create a sitemap for you. It is called Google XML Sitemaps.
  • Use in content contextual links. In content links take a little longer to build manually, but these links often carry more weight than those in the navigation or in the footer. Whenever you use a keyword relevant to another page on your site, take the time to manually link to it.
  • Create a frequently asked questions or a FAQ page. A FAQ page can be a great place to create many keyword targeted phrases. Create links to any frequent questions to help your visitors find a solution to their problem.
  • Use a related posts plugin. There are quite a few, but one highly recommended is YARPP (Yet Another Related Posts Plugin). It uses your meta tags to automatically search for related posts and internally links them to each other. You can also customize where you want the related posts to be.

Creating internal links to improve your SEO can be very time-consuming, especially if you have a very large website.  If you would like us to take over this cumbersome necessity then contact PowerAdvocates.
