West Chester, PA (Vocus) August 3, 2010
Recent keyword research showed that the term “lawyer” was searched 140,520 times in the last month. The term “attorney” was searched 59,730 times for the same period. A more localized search showed that the phrase “Houston Lawyer” was searched 15,600 times and the term “find a lawyer” was searched 14,610. A search for “criminal lawyers” revealed that there were 12,870 searches and a combined search for the geo-targeted practice area “Philadelphia cerebral palsy lawyers” was searched 11,340 times last month and yielded 226,000 results.
It’s clear that the Internet is one of the ways that people search for a lawyer. But how do they choose among those 226,000 results?
“There seems to be a vetting process involved in choosing a lawyer. People no longer make a decision by seeing a single advertisement. They want to hear about and read credible information about a lawyer before he/she is chosen. And most of all, they value a referral from a trusted source.”
Speaker and her team are working hard to position StateLawTV, their Web TV Network and premier legal portal, as one of those trusted sources. “We put our lawyers through a vetting process before we are willing to accept them as part of our StateLawTV family. Our portal recommends just one law firm per practice area and media market and we want the best of the best.”
Speaker is currently developing a board of directors that will be involved in the vetting process. “We want our StateLawTV portal to be the first place that consumers and the end users of legal services go to find a lawyer that they know has gone through a rigorous qualification process overseen by a credible team of experts.”
StateLawTV is owned by parent company Speaker Media and Marketing, LLC. Cindy Speaker has been in the legal industry for 15 years and she travels and speaks to lawyer marketing groups throughout the country. “My message is always the same. It’s all about relationships. Technology, social media and the Internet just make growing relationships and generating word of mouth scalable.”
StateLawTV is a premier Web TV Network and legal portal. Owned and operated by Speaker Media and Marketing, LLC, the network produces Web TV Shows featuring interviews with prominent attorneys and legal experts discussing a wide variety of law related issues and topics. http://www.StateLawTV.com.
