Marketing Guide for Estate Planning Attorneys

Though we could certainly create an entire digital marketing guide for estate planning and probate law firms, there are a few tips that are likely to be the most instrumental to your marketing campaign:

1. Estate planning content MUST be as easy to understand as it is informative.

Marketing for estate planning lawyers is actually a bit trickier than for other law firms. You’re competing with every “DIY” estate planning website out there. More and more people think that matters such as wills and guardianship paperwork can be completed with an easy online form.

As an estate planning attorney, you need to be able to convince potential clients that your law firm is a better option than an easy form. Thus, a great deal of your digital marketing needs to be aimed at showing your estate planning expertise.

Though that may seem easy at first glance, highlighting your law firm’s talents and wide practice areas could often be presented in a way that doesn’t appeal to potential clients. Your marketing needs to emphasize:

A. HOW your estate planning law firm can help potential clients and B. WHY a potential law firm should choose you.

In order to do this, your law firm may need more content than other attorneys. You need to break down more complicated topics into shorter topics that connect one to other relevant pages on the side. Thus, the content isn’t all presented on one, long confusing page.

Unfortunately, longer content tends to rank better than shorter pages. With that in mind, you need an editor who is skilled at search engine optimization (SEO) in order to overcome some SEO hurdles. Your writers will also need the guidance to know to cover frequently asked questions and other long-tail search topics.

2. Your marketing must be aimed at various demographics.

Unlike many other practice areas that are circumstantial, estate planning could apply to a wide variety of individuals at any moment in their life. Young parents require estate planning to provide for their children. Senior citizens may need advanced directives. Trusts could be helpful to anyone looking to better manage their money.

As such, no one piece of content or marketing technique will apply to everyone. Younger generations may be reached with social media marketing. Past clients may need to be reminded of your services by way of email marketing. Your blogs will need to cover all age groups.

Because estate planning law firms would benefit most with a comprehensive marketing campaign, it’s best to consult with an agency who can track and manage the progress of your campaigns. WIth proper data, you can see which demographics are bringing in the biggest ROI and which may need an extra push.

3. Explanatory material should be available in multimedia formats.

This estate planning marketing tip takes into account #1 and #2. In short, the best estate planning lawyer websites have unique and helpful presentations of materials. As you’re targeting a wide audience, there is no guarantee that one format will work better than others.

Perhaps your older audiences would prefer a YouTube channel with informative videos or even just a brochure to save. Maybe young parents would listen to a podcast while on their way to work. Link building efforts and social media could benefit with an infographic.

Here again, a comprehensive marketing firm will not only be able to analyze your needs but will also be able to implement these techniques. Agencies like PaperStreet work with your budget to create high impact marketing options that you’ll be proud to showcase.
