Anyone who has spent time online recently must have noticed that videos appear everywhere, and that is why so many businesses include video as part of their digital marketing. That is also true for law firms, so if your law firm is not yet using video for online marketing purposes, then it needs to start doing so soon.
You can be sure that many of your local competitors are using video, and that it will be boosting their efforts to gain authority, trust, and new clients. Every new client local competitors gain is one you have likely lost forever.
Now that you know the importance of online video to your law firm, below we have outlined ten steps to including and optimising videos within your digital marketing campaigns.
