Did you know that bio pages are one of the most visited areas on your firm’s website? These bios are the first touch with potential clients and may be the deciding factor if they want contact your office or move on to another site.
In a recent blog, Rainmaker Institute CEO Stephen Fairley discusses ways to improve your website bios to create more business. Here are a few suggestions from his list:
- Make the Introduction: This seems like a no brainer but many attorney bios forego this opening paragraph. “The first part of your bio should tell prospects who you are and what you do.”
- Post Multiple Photos and Videos: Don’t stop with just a professional headshot. “Every attorney in your office should record a 3-5 minute video introducing themselves and talking about how they help people and why they love what they do.”
- Talk About Your Clients: Let potential clients know how you will treat them and their family if they do business with your law firm. “Make a point to emphasize what kinds of clients and cases you love to work with in your bio.”
- Write Like You Talk: A website bio is no place for legal jargon. “Use a conversational tone in your bio so that prospects feel as if they are having a conversation with you.”
