The landscape has been changing fast.
The emergence of AI has been one of those historic moments for all industries, and legal is no exception. But while there are a lot of ways that your firm should be looking at AI to assist with the day-to-day and future of your operation – it’s important not to get lost in it while your current digital presence gets dusty and dated.
Many of the winners of the AI renaissance will be those who use it to make their already solid offerings better – instead of dropping everything they know to jump on the train.
There are so many important components to your firm’s online presence that you should be focusing on. We’re here to help shine a light on some of the actions you can take today to sweep up the dust and get your online house in order.
🌐 1. Give Your Website a Tune-Up
Your website is often the first impression potential clients get of your firm — make sure it’s working hard for you.
- Update Content: Refresh outdated bios, add recent case results, and ensure practice area pages reflect your current offerings.
- Check Performance: Site speed, mobile responsiveness, and clear call-to-actions (CTAs) are critical for conversion.
- Audit for SEO: Make sure your keywords, meta descriptions, and internal linking are aligned with your search strategy.
Civille Tip: If it’s been more than a year since your last major update, it might be time to rethink design, and structure, or even consider a fully optimized redesign.
📍 2. Refresh Your Google Business Profile
Your Google Business Profile (GBP) is often the first thing searchers see — and it’s one of the easiest ways to improve local visibility. If you want to get found in local search, this is the place to focus.
- Ensure Accuracy: Double-check hours, services, location details, and contact info.
- Add Fresh Content: Post updates, add new photos, respond to reviews, and add keywords to the Services section.
- Categorize Correctly: Make sure your primary and secondary categories are accurately aligned with your practice areas.
