Online Reputation Management for Law Firms

As internet marketing becomes more and more essential for lawyers and law firms, there is nothing more imperative than protecting your brand online. Discovering that a potential client has searched for your firm or personal name and chosen not to bring their case to you because of what they find is a grim sign that negative reviews can cost you higher-end clients because they are smart.

Legal Online Reputation Repair and Management (ORM)

Today, your attorneys and your firm are defined by what appears on the major search engines, such as Google, Yahoo and Bing. In fact, hundreds of thousands of dollars in potential revenue are lost each day due to false, misleading, or erroneous search engine results.

From experience, I know how critical it is that you and your legal services have a positive reputation on the internet.

Why Your Law Firm Needs ORM

Negative listings are potentially damaging to your online reputation, hurting your credibility and causing you to lose potential clients.  Google your name or your law firm right now, are you be pleased with what you see? Whether a resentful former employee is publishing unfavorable opinions about your firm’s management, a competitor has covertly been targeting your firm on review websites, or if you’re a high-profile attorney with an unfortunate past legal incident or case that won’t seem to go away, your online listings aren’t reflecting the strong character and standing that you and your law firm strive to maintain. In the practice of law, reputation is everything. That is why there are peer reviews and bar reprimands.

An unfortunate truth is that negative listings often rank higher over time, many of them full of anonymously submitted user-generated content and therefore protected from deletion.  Because these potentially damaging listings can rise quickly in search engine results, it is vital that you take immediate action to repair your online reputation.
