Learn how to avoid the most common marketing mistakes lawyers make and build a strategy that actually brings in great clients.
Marketing mistakes lawyers make can be avoided. In this episode of Great Practice, Great Life®, Steve Riley welcomes back content marketing guru Robert Rose for a powerful conversation tailored to attorneys and law firm owners looking to improve their marketing strategy.
Robert shares how lawyers can turn their natural communication strengths, advocacy, storytelling, and clarity into a winning content marketing strategy. His tips are practical, achievable, and designed for busy professionals.
Many small and solo law firms rely almost exclusively on referrals. While referrals are important, they aren’t a full marketing plan. Robert explains why a consistent and structured marketing strategy is critical for growth. He shares how attorneys often treat marketing as an occasional task instead of a business function and how to change that.
You’ll learn why templated, generic marketing content usually fails, and what to do instead. Steve and Robert dive into how to create authentic, targeted content that speaks to your ideal clients. Whether you’re using LinkedIn to connect with professionals or Facebook for a broader reach, your content should reflect your voice and values.
The episode also explores how referral partnerships and social media can complement content marketing to elevate your firm’s visibility and authority. Robert offers simple ways to get started—without overwhelming your schedule or sacrificing billable hours.
If you’re tired of wasting time and money on marketing that doesn’t work, this episode is your roadmap to doing it right.
