“Go big or go home.”
Anyone can build an electronic brochure that can give people information about your law firm if they search for the name of your firm or the names of your individual attorneys. At Internet Lava, we build websites for personal injury attorneys that dominate the search engines when your ideal clients begin to search for an attorney.

By having better content, more content, better graphic design, properly tagged pictures, more backlinks, more internal links, better social networking, and effective use of website videos.

People Search for an Attorney’s Name On-Line
If a potential client does search for the name of your law firm or a particular attorney in your firm, the client will be impressed with the amount of information on the internet about the attorney or firm. All of that information should convey a consistent message that the attorney is professional and recognized as an authority in the legal community.
We create hundreds of profiles for the attorney on some of the most popular websites in the world including a Google Profile Page, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, MerchantCircle, and more. By creating these profiles you are able to control the order in which Google lists information about the attorney in the search engines. You can help promote information and websites that convey the best message to your ideal clients.
Find the Competition – Personal Injury Attorneys in Your Area with Effective Websites
The first thing that any trial attorney should do when considering investing in internet marketing for a personal injury law firm is looking closely at the competition. We can help you determine which personal injury law firms in your area are most likely to attract your ideal clients when they begin their search for an attorney on the internet.
Once you have found the most effective websites for personal injury and medical malpractice attorneys in your area, then look closely at those websites to determine the following:
- How effective is the design websites?
- Does the website present a professional image for the firm?
- Is the website in compliance with all of the state’s bar rules that govern internet marketing?
- How many interior pages are on the website?
- What is the page rank of the main page of the website and what is the page rank of each interior page?
- How many properly tagged pictures can be found on each page of the websites?
- How are those pages linked together within the website?
- How many other websites link to the personal injury attorney’s website (also known as backlinks)?
- For each backlink to the main website, how relevant and powerful are those backlinks?
- What relevant and highly ranked personal injury directories does the law firm use to promote the main website?
- How effectively is the law firm using local business listing on the major search engines (such as Google Places, Bing Maps, and Yahoo Local) to drive traffic to the main website?
- Does the personal injury law firm effective use videos on the website?
- Does the personal injury law firm effectively use of social media to drive traffic to the main website?
- What types of unique search engine optimization (SEO) techniques are helping that website rank well in the search engines?
- Does the personal injury website provide unique tools such as a personal injury settlement calculator, or personal injury formulas for settlement or other information that you can’t find anywhere else?
Once you understand the competition, you need a website design and internet marketing company that will build you a bigger and better website geared towards dominating the search engines in your ideal geographical areas.
Better Content for a Personal Injury Attorney’s Website
Think about internet marketing from the perspective of your ideal client. Someone they love has been injured through the negligence of another person or company. They might begin their search by looking at terms such as “personal injury” or “brain injury” or “wrongful death” or “contingency law firm” on a national or state level.
After the viewer learns some of the terms they begin to narrow their search eventually looking for an attorney with experience with their particular type of case in their area. For example, the viewer may quickly narrow their search to something like the following: “wrongful death attorney in Tampa Florida for a construction accident” or “vicious dog bite attorney in Boston.” Your potential clients are also interested in unique tools such as personal injury settlement calculators and formulas used by the plantiff’s counsel and defense counsel.
By having hundreds of interior pages on your website each dealing with one particular issue targeted at your state and geographical location, you will start to show up for those longer searches (called long-tail searches). In many cases, your visibility in the search engines begin immediately for particular narrow niche areas.
By focusing on certain niche areas you can begin to see an immediate return on your investment. Additionally, you can attract those cases that are the most interesting and profitable to your practice. While other attorneys take the “shot gun” approach by barely touching on every practice area within the personal injury category, you can focus on building the most relevant and informative content for particular niche areas.
As your practice grows, you can begin to target other niche areas and expand your practice accordingly. Internet marketing provides you with the most effective way of attracting your ideal clients and most profitable cases.
Niche Areas for Personal Injury Attorneys
When writing content for personal injury attorneys we provide the trial attorney with a long list of possible topics and also ask them to suggest any practice or niche areas that we might have missed. The more pages on the website, and the more informative the content on each page the better the website will rank in the search engines for those terms.
Many personal injury attorneys ask us, “Why do we need so much content? Who is going to read all this?” In order to answer the question you have to understand how the search engines work. If your potential local client is interested in motorcycle accidents involving serious head injuries, they might “Google” those terms. Instead of landing on the main page of your website, the search engines might direct them to an interior page deep within your website site on motorcycle accidents or head injuries. When done correctly, the motorcycle accident page may show up number one on Google and the head injuries page might show up number two on Google.
Your potential local client will be immediately impressed that your website is geared towards answering some of their general questions for a specific type of case. Also, by having content on such particular areas within the field of personal injury, you show the client that you are experienced in that particular niche area and want to attract their business.
An entire website can be built around a particular niche area such as medical malpractice. Many personal injury attorneys want several or all of the following niche areas listed below in their website. The possibilities are unlimited for building informative content on a personal injury attorney’s website. Consider some of the following practice areas which can each be an individual page on the website all organized in a matter that allows the viewer to quickly find information about the topic for which they are most interested.
