Action Steps:
- If you haven’t completed your Google Business Profile, review episode 14 where we covered optimizing your Google Business Profile.
- Review your categories (look at competitors).
- If you haven’t built earning and asking for online reviews into your law firm culture, go back to episode 16 where we covered that in detail.
- Google your keywords and see if any directories show up on the first few pages of Google. If so, make sure your profiles are very clean on those directories. This could be Yelp, Expertise.com, or maybe even Findlaw, Avvo, or Lawyers.com, although we don’t see those ranking as high as they used to.
