Let's start with the elephant in the room.
You are in THE MOST competitive niche when it comes to marketing/advertising.
This is an undisputed fact.
Because of the big dollars at stake and the deep pocketed competition fighting tooth & nail for market share, huge money is being spent each month to acquire new cases.
Here's a breakdown of exactly what the current landscape looks like in 2024.
So, now that we've gotten the relentless negativity out of the way lol, there is actually some really good news for you if you want to dominate your marketplace & create a flood of new case opportunities coming in the door.
Here's what it is.
In those bullet points above, I mentioned a couple of times how in the past 12 months Google has COMPLETELY CHANGED the way they display their local search results.
Without going too deep down the rabbit hole here- I'm going to try to sum up what has happened as succinctly as possible.
Here's the deal.
Basically, after years and years of Google sending FREE search traffic to your website (traditional SEO)… they have decided they no longer want to do this.
Historically, if you did a search for an injury attorney in your local area… Google would show you a few sponsored options (paid ads) and then links to firms that have gotten to the top of the search page.
This is how it always worked and because it worked like this, it made sense to spend on traditional SEO so that your firm's website could be at the top of those results.
But, it doesn't work like this anymore because Google has completely updated how they show local search results…
Now, a bit of background here before I go into how it now works in 2024 (and will work in the years to come).
Over the past 5 years or so, Google has been working behind the scenes plowing billions of dollars into their Google Business Profile feature & even more into their Google Maps functionality.
They've done this for one reason & one reason only.
They NO LONGER want to send businesses free traffic to their websites…
They want to keep search users in the Google search results page & give them the information they're seeking RIGHT THERE without leaving.
This is called the rise of the “no click search.”
So, now that they've spent all this money investing in Google Business Profile & Google Local Maps… they've decided to emphasize these features at the TOP of the search rankings by completely rearranging how they show local search results.
This is called the Google “Local Map Pack” and it is by far the biggest opportunity for law firms in the past decade.
It works like this.
When someone needs an attorney, and searches for that in Google, they are NO LONGER shown a list of websites coming down the page at the top.
They are now presented with the top 3 options, next to a map of their local area, at the very top of the search page.
Here's what it looks like.
This is called the Google Local Map Pack & it is a total gamechanger for new client acquisition on the Internet.
If your firm is able to achieve the #1 spot in that “Map Pack” in the largest geographic area possible… you will dominate your marketplace & get more leads than you ever thought possible.
If you are not #1, or even worse if you're not listed at all (not in the top 3), you are completely dead in the water and might as well not exist in your marketplace.
It's really that simple.
The Google Map Pack provides the highest quality case leads, and in most cases, delivers 3-5 times more case leads than traditional searches that would click over to your website.
This is because Google has spent billions to make it as easy as possible for users to reach out to firms through their Google Business Profile options WITHOUT leaving the search results.
It's easier for the user, Google doesn't send free traffic away from their page, and your firm gets a higher quality lead… it's truly a win/win/win.
Everything that you just read above is a concrete fact & none of that was my opinion.
We've been working with firms for over 10 years… and over that time period we've seen the price of ads skyrocket, social media marketing stop working, traditional SEO fall off a cliff and “fancy websites” become money pits.
And this is ALL because of the rise of the “no click search” and how Google is getting greedy with their search traffic.
So, here's what we've done on this end.
We've completely stopped offering ad management, traditional SEO services, website builds & social media management & have gone ALL IN on getting our clients to the top of the Google Maps Pack in the largest geographic area possible.
We've done this because this is what is working now, and what will be working years into the future.
It's the best way to get huge results & form long term partnerships- so it was a no brainer.
Because, you see, once Google makes a monumental change like this… and it works for them, they never go back.
They just continue to refine what is working and it's our job as an agency (and your job as a firm owner) to get on board and play nice with Google.
You don't fight Google… you become friends with them & they reward you.
That's how it always has worked and that's how it will work.
You become friends with Google in 2024 and beyond by harnessing the power of your Google Business Profile & the Google Map Pack.
It's that simple.
So, if you read all of this & you want to dominate your local marketplace & get floods of new case leads coming in… you have to get to the top of the map rankings in the largest search area possible.
