Traffic to Leads

About Conrad Saam: After leading marketing efforts for Avvo, Conrad Saam founded Mockingbird, an online marketing agency focused exclusively on legal. Called the “Gary V of Legal”, Conrad is the author of Own the Map published by the American Bar Association and The FindLaw Jailbreak Guide, co-host of Lunch Hour Legal Marketing with Gyi Tsakalakis, a Google Small Business Advisor, and held positions for various ABA’s Practice Management marketing committees. A semi-professional bridge arsonist, Conrad enjoys publishing Cease and Desist letters from unscrupulous legal marketing vendors. He once bought the keyword, “mesothelioma lawyer” for $4.76. Conrad is the proud owner of Zippy, the first and only chicken to be awarded the Lawyers of Distinction Top 10% Award, which recognizes lawyers duped into buying a $700 annual subscription to a plaque.

In this episode, Ted and Conrad Saam discuss:

• Navigating the challenges of online legal marketing
• Data-driven marketing strategies for law firms
• The future of AI in consumer behavior
• Adapting to a world of AI-generated content, chatbots, and its implications for legal firms

Key Takeaways:

• Ngage's chat service, owned by Internet Brands, automatically sells leads generated by law firm websites to multiple other firms, causing frustration and loss of potential clients for the originating firm.
• Small businesses, including law firms, must be vigilant about their data's usage, ensuring it isn't misused, and focus on strategies that safeguard their interests instead of benefiting large corporations.
• Agencies specialized in legal marketing leverage data insights and benchmarks to optimize strategies, focusing on outliers for significant impact and prioritizing areas for improvement.
• The rise of AI-driven content and interactions challenges consumer trust, prompting law firms to adapt and consider the evolving landscape of fake reviews, bots, and personalized AI-generated content.

"If you don't go through that process of prioritizing the things that are going to have the biggest impact, you just end up doing the things that you like, right? And we see this all the time." — Conrad Saam
