Lawyers! Don't Break These ABA Marketing Rules
Navigating the American Bar Association (ABA) marketing rules is no simple process for most law firms. In a digital world, it’s even more complex, requiring firms to ensure they are not over-promising, applying the wrong strategy, or creating unintentional violations that put their license on the line.
How can you advertise your law firm website effectively, allowing you to gain the online market share your firm requires to remain competitive when the ABA has so many restrictions and limitations in place? Even for the most seasoned attorney, it’s hard to avoid missteps in this area.
Are You Up to Date on the Latest Rules?
The ABA has implemented numerous requirements and strategies over the years to keep up with digital marketing methods. These rules are far more complex today than they used to be, yet it is imperative to follow them.
The solution to avoiding violations is as simple as hiring a digital marketing firm capable of ensuring the best possible management of your legal marketing strategy. The best legal marketing company for the job simply has to be up-to-date on ABA rules and have strategies in place to mitigate any overreach or mistake. An agency that’s not well-versed in this area should not be managing your next SEO campaign or PPC launch. It’s too much of a risk.
Should You Just Skip Advertising?
The complexity of marketing is a challenge, and the financial losses that can come from violations are hard to overlook. It seems easier to simply trust that word of mouth and networking is all that you need to grow your firm.
