2. Attracts New Leads

Social media is a highly effective tool for law firms to utilize to attract new clients. The American Bar Association found that 35% of lawyers who use social media professionally have been able to gain new clients as a result. Leveraging paid social media is one decisive way to generate new leads through your social media content, especially when you create highly targeted content to meet a specific audience need.

3. Helps Boost Your Search Engine Optimization

Social media can be a powerful asset for improving your search engine ranking. Google and other search engines are increasing content from social feeds into search results, so having a social media presence can lead to a higher chance of visibility on a search engine. A social media page with developed content can also contribute to overall online visibility and increase traffic.

There continues to be a strong correlation between social signals and ranking position. In short, it’s worth it to build your audience on social media, drive more traffic to your website, and potentially get higher search engine rankings for your efforts.
