Why Blogging To Increase Conversions On My Website?
Especially for estate planning attorneys, it’s important to your prospects when they visit your website that you give off the appearance that you are a patient business to work with.
People want to be educated and they want to learn. Especially as an attorney it’s important that you be willing to educate them and be patient with them. If prospects that visit your website don’t know that then they are going to be less likely to reach out to you and become a conversion.
A typical law firm website that is using paid ads will attain conversions from 1%-2% of their website traffic. Over the past 10 years working with estate planning attorneys we’ve identified a trend a correlation between conversion rate and the number of pages and posts on the law firm’s website.
This means simply that the more blog posts and pages you’re creating, the more likely the prospect is to become a lead.
