Not a tech expert? No problem. Here are 5 simple checks anyone can do to gauge their law firm’s digital presence:
>>> Google your firm: Search your law firm name. Are the top results what you expect? (Think website, LinkedIn, reviews.) This is how clients see you online – make sure they find accurate, positive info.
>>> Visit your site on mobile: Open your website on a phone or tablet. Is it easy to read and navigate? If you have to pinch-zoom or text is cut off, that’s a red flag. Most clients will look you up on mobile first.
>>> Speed test: Does your site load in a couple of seconds, or is it making you wait? Slow sites lose visitors fast. You can use free tools like Google’s PageSpeed Insights for a quick check, or just note if pages seem sluggish.
>>> Content freshness: Check your latest blog or news update. Is it recent? Also glance at your Bio/Team pages – any outdated info or old photos? Fresh content signals an active, up-to-date practice.
>>> Contact test: Fill out your own contact form or call the phone number on your site. Did you get a confirmation or prompt reply? If nothing happens, potential clients might be falling through the cracks.
These DIY check-ups take maybe 10 minutes, but can reveal surprising gaps in your online presence. I’ve had lawyers discover broken contact forms that cost them leads – all from a quick test they never thought to do.
