In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Jordan Whelan discuss: The evolving landscape of legal marketing and SEO strategies Identifying and targeting the right audience through buyer personas Leveraging video, local SEO, and low-cost marketing tactics for visibility The role of mindset, metaphysics, and visualization in business growth Key Takeaways: A law firm’s website must be technically optimized and emotionally resonant, clearly communicating its unique value proposition to convert visitors. Targeted marketing—such as divorce ads placed during peak conflict hours on female-dominated radio stations—can dramatically improve campaign effectiveness. Inexpensive tactics like geo-targeted short videos, active engagement on platforms like Quora and Reddit, and cross-platform posting tools can generate steady traffic. Building SEO authority, particularly in local search, creates long-term assets that not only drive business now but also increase the firm’s valuation for future sale.
