Video Marketing for Lawyers: The Key to Client Attraction Hi everyone, and welcome to the very first episode of my podcast! I'm Linda Donnelly, and I've been helping businesses grow with strategic marketing for over a decade. A lot of my clients are lawyers, and lately, there's one topic we keep coming back to... video. Now, I get it, some of you might be rolling your eyes thinking, "Video? Isn't that just for the TikToks and YouTubes?" But trust me, video marketing is a game-changer for law firms. That's why today, I want to bust some myths and hopefully turn you into video believers by the end of this episode. Video Isn't Just a Trend, It's the Future Okay, let's get some numbers out of the way. Did you know that the average screen time of a person in the US is SEVEN hours a day? The average user on TikTok spends 90 minutes a day watching videos. The average YouTube user watches more than an hour a day. More than 80% of all worldwide internet traffic is constituted by video content. Short-form videos under 2 minutes have the best engagement rate. That's not just teenagers; it's busy professionals, the same people who might need your legal services. The bottom line is this: businesses of all kinds see way better results when they include video in their marketing. It's more engaging, more memorable... frankly, people just like it better than reading a wall of text. Why Lawyers NEED Video Here's the thing, choosing a lawyer isn't like buying a pair of shoes online. It's personal. Video lets potential clients see you, hear you explain things, get a sense of your personality. Would you hire a lawyer without ever seeing their face? Probably not, and your clients wouldn't either. Search Power: We all know Google matters, and guess what? Videos help your website get found. It's that simple and at Business Solutions we are experts at getting your videos on Page One of Google and YouTube - the TWO largest Search Engines in the US. Now, maybe you're thinking, "My competitors aren't doing fancy videos, so why bother?" That's your ADVANTAGE. Do it right, and you'll stand out in a big way. No Hollywood Studio Required "But I'm terrible on camera!" I hear this ALL the time. Guess what? Most people are. With video, it's about being authentic, not an Oscar-winning performance. Simple is Effective: You could film a quick FAQ video answering a common client question, or do a 2-minute explainer about a confusing bit of law in your practice area. Phone cameras are awesome now, and basic editing is easier than you think. Don't have time? That's where we come in. We craft all the content, we do all of the editing and we post the videos in such a way to get Page One Google Rankings and amazing traffic to your website. Getting help doesn't have to break the bank either. Success Stories Day in and day out we get Page One, Position One Google and Youtube results for our clients driving traffic to their websites and establishing them as authorities in their practice areas. Let's Make You a Video Convert Must-Haves: Every law firm needs videos on page one of google, client testimonials, and informative videos to post on their social channels (including TikTok) that would establish them as an authority If you're truly DIY-averse, WE ARE video pros who "gets" lawyers and won't try to turn you into an influencer overnight. Video is about building trust, visibility, and getting those qualified leads coming your way. Need help getting started?

Episode 191 | Can video content get you on Google’s first page?
Can video content get you on Google's first page? Why Use Video Marketing? Here's what 15+ years in the game has taught us at Business Solutions Marketing Group: Attention spans are short. But you know what stops the scroll? VIDEO. Whether you're a lawyer, a roofer, or run a service-based business—video gets your message heard, seen, and remembered. We've helped clients generate thousands of leads just from short-form explainer videos. Some only use video for their entire marketing strategy—and it's WORKING. But here's the kicker... Most business owners don't have time to shoot video content. We solved that with our AI Avatar System. Now, we can: Create a custom avatar that looks and sounds like you ️ Use voiceovers that match your tone Script, edit, and publish for maximum SEO visibility From YouTube to Google Business, TikTok to LinkedIn—we post across all platforms. Bonus? Many of our videos hit Page 1 of Google—because we structure them around what people are actually asking online. Don't let your competitors steal your visibility. Video builds trust, drives traffic, and keeps people on your website longer. ➡️ More time = higher rankings = more leads. Ready to see what video can do for your business? Let's talk. We'll show you what's possible (even if you never want to be on camera). #VideoMarketing #SmallBusinessTips #AIAvatar #SEO #DigitalMarketing #LegalMarketing #YouTubeMarketing Call Linda & team at (800) 587-0366 for a FREE chat!

Episode 190 | Why Does Google Ignore My 'Flag as Inappropriate' Requests for Bad Reviews?
Stop "Flagging and Praying." Start Building a Case to remove fake reviews. We've all done it. You get a fake 1-star review, you hit those three little dots, you click "Flag as inappropriate"... ...and absolutely nothing happens. It's infuriating. As a marketing expert, I'm pulling back the curtain on why Google ignores you. When you "rage flag" your own review, Google's system sees you as an emotional, unverified stranger. You look exactly like a business owner who's just trying to delete a real review they don't like. You're also using the wrong tool. That flag button is a simple spam-catcher. It's not designed for nuanced cases like: ❌ "This person was never a customer!" ❌ "This is a disgruntled ex-employee!" ❌ "This is a lie!" You're arguing the story. Google only cares about policy. Here's how our agency gets results: Status: We're a registered Google Partner. We don't go in the public "slush pile"—we go into a professional support queue. Process: We don't "flag." We build a formal "case file" with evidence, citing the exact Google policy that was violated. Persistence: When you get an automated "no," you're done. When we get one, we escalate. Stop "flagging and praying." It's time to build a real case. Read our full blog post to see the difference.

Episode 189 | From Blog to Video: The "Triple-Dip" ROI
From Blog to Video: The "Triple-Dip" ROI Gartner just predicted search queries will drop 25% by 2026. Why? Because AI Overviews and chatbots are taking over. As a marketing expert, I see what this means: your "content graveyard"—that library of blog posts you spent years building—is about to become invisible. Your old content was built for the "10 blue links." But AI search wants to answer a question, and it will ignore your old posts. At the same time, you know you need video (91% of businesses use it!), but it's expensive and slow. So you're stuck, right? ❌ A "content graveyard" of dead blogs. ❌ A "video mountain" that's too high to climb. What if you could solve both problems at once? At BSMG, we use a "Content Multiplier" process. AEO Rewrite: We resurrect your best old blogs and re-engineer them into "Definitive Answers" that Google's AI loves to cite. AI Avatar Video: We take that new, AI-friendly article and instantly turn it into a 90-second, professional video. No cameras, no studios. This gives you a "Triple-Dip" ROI: You maximize your old assets. You win at AI search. You get an engaging, "AI-readable" video (with a transcript!) Stop letting your content die. It's time to resurrect it for the AI era. Read the full strategy on our new blog post! Call Linda & team at (800) 587-0366 for a FREE chat!

Episode 188 | The 1 Star Review Problem Is Now an AI Problem
The 1 Star Review Problem Is Now an AI Problem That 1-star review on your Google profile? It's not a blow to your ego. It's a 24/7 sales prevention machine. As a small business owner, I know it stings. But I'm not here to talk about your feelings—I'm here to talk about your balance sheet. Let's do the math. According to ReviewTrackers, 94% of consumers say a bad review has convinced them to avoid a business. Think about that. 94%! Let's say your Google Profile gets 1,000 views a month, and your average customer is worth $1,500. That one review could be costing you over $70,000 a month in lost revenue. Suddenly, it's not just an "annoyance," is it? And the "Fix-It" Tax? It's brutal. You need at least 10-20 new 5-star reviews just to begin to undo the damage to your average rating. But here's the new problem: AI is reading your reviews. Google's AI Overviews and ChatGPT are now synthesizing those reviews and presenting them as verifiable facts about your business. That 1-star review is becoming a permanent part of your brand description. You have two options: Surgery ️: If the review is fake or violates ToS, we fight to get it removed. Immune System : We help you build a powerful, automated system to get a flood of new, positive reviews from your real customers. Stop letting that single review steal from you. Read our full breakdown of the math and the solution. Call Linda & team at (800) 587-0366 for a FREE chat!

Episode 187 | What's the Easiest Way to Get More 5-Star Reviews? ✅
Is Your Business Ready for the AI Search Revolution? What's the Easiest Way to Get More 5-Star Reviews? ✅ Ever felt like you're always playing catch-up in marketing? You finally master one thing, and boom! Everything changes. Well, get ready. The way customers find you is about to shift... big time. Gartner predicts that by 2026, traditional search queries will drop by 25% because AI-driven virtual agents will take over! That means Google's AI Overview boxes aren't just a trend; they're the new front page. And if your business isn't cited there, you might become invisible. Here's the secret weapon: AI Avatar Video. No, it's not a gimmick! Imagine creating 10 professional, helpful videos in the time it used to take to make one. You type a script, and a lifelike digital presenter (or even a clone of you!) speaks it perfectly. Why is this a game-changer for small businesses? ⚡️ Time & Cost: Forget expensive cameras or studio time. AI avatars slash production time and cost by up to 80%! ️ AI Loves Transcripts: Google's AI models are Large Language Models (LLMs). They read your video's transcript. A perfectly transcribed video on your site means AI can easily "ingest" your expertise and cite your business as the answer! Engagement: Videos boost "dwell time"—how long people stay on your page. That's a huge SEO signal to Google that your content is valuable. You're not making videos for people to just watch (though they will!). You're making them for AI to read and present your business as THE authority. This isn't just "the next big thing." It's how you future-proof your marketing.

Episode 185 | How to Spot a Fake Review from a Competitor (And What to Do About It)
How to Spot a Fake Review from a Competitor (And What to Do About It) You know that sickening feeling? You get a 1-star review notification. You read it. It's terrible. And then you check your records... and you've never even met this person. It's an infuriating, helpless feeling. And I'm here to tell you it's not just "annoying" anymore—it's dangerous. Why? Because Google's new AI is reading that fake review. When a new customer asks Google, "Is [Your Business] any good?" the AI doesn't just see your star rating. It reads the words from your reviews to create a summary. That one fake review calling you a "scam" or "unprofessional"? It's now a "poison pill" that the AI is feeding to all your future customers. So what can you do? You've probably hit that "Flag as inappropriate" button. And I'm guessing... nothing happened. That's because you're making the wrong argument. You can't get a review removed because it's "untrue." You can get it removed because it violates Google's Terms of Service (TOS). This is not a "DIY" job. It's a legal-style process. It's what we do. We know how to find the violation (ex-employee, competitor, off-topic rant) and build a case for Google. And the best part? Our primary removal program is pay-on-success. We don't get paid until that review is GONE. Stop letting competitors and "ghosts" define your brand. Read our new blog post to see the 5-point checklist for spotting a fake... and learn how to fight back.

Episode 184 | What is Topical Authority, and why does it matter for my business?
What is Topical Authority, and why does it matter for my business? Still trying to rank on Google with random blog posts? Stop! The game has CHANGED, and if you're not playing by the new rules, Google's AI will completely ignore you. Hey small business owners! Linda Donnelly here from Business Solutions Marketing Group. For years, you've been told "SEO is all about keywords!" Right? You wrote that "5 Tips for Plumbers" article, pushed it live, and... crickets. Sound familiar? That's because Google isn't just looking for keywords anymore. It's looking for AUTHORITY. We're talking about Topical Authority, and it's the only way to win in the age of AI search. Think of it: Google's new AI Overviews (those big answer boxes) need to quote reliable experts. They hate "thin" content. So, how do you prove you're the go-to expert? By building a "library" of deep, interconnected content, not just random pamphlets! This isn't just about showing up in search. It's about proving your E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trust) – which is Google's #1 ranking factor. Here's the secret sauce we use: The "Pillar & Cluster" Model! ️ Pillar Page: Your HUGE "Ultimate Guide" (2500+ words) on a broad topic. Cluster Pages: Your super-detailed "Deep Dives" (1500+ words) into sub-topics, all linking back to your Pillar. This creates a powerful "web" that tells Google: "HEY! We know EVERYTHING about this!" Stop blogging into the void. Start building your digital fortress. This takes effort, yes, but the payoff? Unstoppable organic traffic and Google's AI quoting you. Imagine that! Want to learn how to build your own Topical Authority strategy? Dive into our latest blog post (link in bio!) where I break down the entire process. Don't get left behind! #TopicalAuthority #SEO #AEO #SmallBusinessMarketing #GoogleAI #ContentStrategy #LindaDonnelly #BSMG #DigitalMarketing #Expertise Call Linda & team at (800) 587-0366 for a FREE chat!

Episode 183 | AI Just Killed Google Reviews As You Knew Them!
AI Just Killed Google Reviews As You Knew Them! Hey small business owners, lawyers, and entrepreneurs! Linda Donnelly here from Business Solutions Marketing Group, and I need to tell you about the BIGGEST shift in digital marketing I've seen in a decade. Remember when getting 5-star reviews was just "nice to have"? Or when a bad review was just... annoying? Well, those days are GONE. Google's new AI, Gemini, isn't just showing your star rating anymore. It's READING every single one of your reviews and writing its OWN summary of your business. Imagine a potential client asking Google: "Is [Your Business Name] any good?" What summary will the AI give them? ➡️ If you have a few negative reviews (even fake ones!), the AI will incorporate those negative keywords into its summary. It's like a "poison pill" for your reputation! ☠️ Your 18 amazing reviews could be completely canceled out by 2 bad ones. This isn't just "Reputation Management" anymore. This is AI TRAINING! You are literally teaching Google's AI how to describe your business to the world. And trust me, you want that lesson to be positive. ✨ Here's the good news: You can take control! We've developed an "AI-Ready" Reputation Strategy that helps you: Go on Offense: Flood the AI with a steady stream of new, positive 5-star reviews. ️ Play Defense: Professionally respond to every review (the AI is watching!). Clean House: Get those truly damaging, fake, or TOS-violating reviews REMOVED. Don't let a few bad reviews (or lack of good ones!) train Google's AI to send customers straight to your competition. Your reputation isn't just "fluff" – it's your revenue! Ready to make sure Google's AI is your biggest cheerleader? Read our latest blog post to dive deeper and get actionable steps!

Episode 182 | Beyond Clicks: Why Small Business Visibility Now Lives in AI Answers!
Beyond Clicks: Why Small Business Visibility Now Lives in AI Answers! Hey friends — it's Linda Donnelly from Business Solutions Marketing Group! We've entered a new era of marketing — and it's wild! Your homepage isn't your “front door” anymore… your customers meet you inside AI answers from Google, ChatGPT, and Bing. If your business doesn't show up there — it might as well not exist. According to BrightEdge, 58% of searches now show AI summaries before traditional links. That means people are reading about you — not from you. So what can you do? ✅ Make sure your business info is structured (schema markup FTW!) ✅ Keep your Google Business Profile fresh and active ✅ Use review insights as business intelligence, not just PR ✅ Focus on decision inclusion — being mentioned where decisions happen “Clicks” aren't the goal anymore — trust and visibility are. When AI decides what customers see, consistency and credibility win every time. If you're ready to future-proof your marketing, check out my latest blog post: [Insert Blog Link] #DigitalMarketing #SmallBusiness #AISEO #MarketingTips #BusinessGrowth Call Linda & team at (800) 587-0366 for a FREE chat!

Episode 181 | New Data: Your Online Rating Directly Impacts Your Sales
Why are my online reviews so important now? Did you know a tiny 0.5-star shift in your online rating could mean a 15% jump in revenue? No, that's not marketing "fluff"—that's hard data from the Harvard Business School. For over a decade, my team at Business Solutions Marketing Group has watched small businesses struggle with this. They see online reviews as a "nice-to-have," a chore for later. But in 2026, that mindset is costing them thousands. Literally. Your Google Business Profile isn't just a listing anymore. It's your digital front door. Most customers are judging you—and deciding whether to call you—before they even see your website. And with Google's new AI Overviews, your reviews are now training the AI on how to describe your business to the world. A few bad reviews can literally tell Google's AI to send customers elsewhere. Yikes! Consider this: ✅ 87% of consumers use Google to evaluate local businesses (BrightLocal). ✅ Improve your rating from 3.7 to 4.4 stars? Conversions can double (Uberall). ✅ A single 1-star review can be a total revenue killer. At BSMG, we've developed a two-part strategy: 1️⃣ Offense: Systems to get a steady stream of NEW 5-star reviews. 2️⃣ Defense: Expert response strategies AND our proprietary programs to remove fake, defamatory, or TOS-violating reviews. Reputation management isn't an expense; it's the highest-ROI investment you can make. Stop losing money to outdated reviews. Let's turn your online reputation into a revenue engine. Read our latest blog post for the full breakdown and actionable tips: [Link to your blog post here] #ReputationManagement #SmallBusinessMarketing #SEO #OnlineReviews #AITips #GoogleMyBusiness #BSMG #LindaDonnelly Call Linda & team at (800) 587-0366 for a FREE chat!

Episode 180 | Your Business Needs an AI-First SEO Strategy (Here's Ours).
Your Business Needs an AI-First SEO Strategy (Here's Ours). Hi everyone, Linda Donnelly here from Business Solutions Marketing Group. For over a decade, my team has helped small businesses like yours navigate the wild world of online marketing. And right now? Google just dropped the biggest bombshell in 20 years. You've probably seen it: those big, shaded "AI Overviews" popping up at the top of Google Search. They answer questions instantly, often without the user ever clicking to a website. This is what we call "zero-click" search, and it's eating up to 30% of traditional website traffic! Here's the tough truth: Your old SEO strategy is officially broken. Just ranking #1 isn't enough anymore if the AI just summarizes your content and sends no one to your site. But here's the good news: This is a HUGE opportunity for those who adapt! The new "rank #1" means being the primary source Google's AI quotes inside that overview box. We need to prove to the AI that you are the ultimate expert! I've just published a brand-new blog post diving deep into this: "How to Rank in Google's 'AI Overviews' (And Why Your Old SEO Won't Work)." In it, I break down our 3-pillar "AI-First" strategy: Topical Authority: Prove you're the ultimate expert on your niche. Structured Data (Schema Markup): Speak directly to Google's AI in its own language. E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trust): Show Google you're a real, trustworthy human expert. ✅ This isn't about replacing humans with AI; it's about training AI to work for you. It's a lot of work, but the payoff is massive. If you want to dominate local search in 2026 and beyond, you have to understand this shift. Ready to secure your business's future in AI search?

Episode 179 | Can AI replace my marketing team?
Can AI replace my marketing team? (800) 587-0366 | https://businesssolutionsmarketinggroup.com/ The AI hype is REAL. Everywhere you look, people are asking: "Can AI just do my marketing now?" As Linda Donnelly, owner of Business Solutions Marketing Group, and with over a decade helping businesses like yours, I'm here to tell you: AI is a game-changer... but it's not a replacement for human expertise. I love AI! Seriously. It's an incredible tool. It's our lightning-fast intern, handling the tedious tasks: ✅ Brainstorming blog ideas (50 in 30 seconds!) ✅ Analyzing competitor data (in minutes, not days!) ✅ Drafting first-round content (saves us tons of time!) But here's the crucial part: AI hits a wall. It lacks strategy. It lacks empathy. It doesn't understand your unique brand, your local market, or the nuances of your customer's emotions. Most importantly, it can't build trust or relationships – skills absolutely VITAL for lawyers and small businesses relying on client confidence. And let's be honest, AI sometimes "hallucinates" – it just makes things up! For a small business, that's embarrassing. For a law firm, it's a huge liability. That's why our Human + AI Hybrid Model is the future. We use AI to work smarter and faster, but our human experts bring the irreplaceable "why" behind the "what." We provide: ✨ Strategic thinking (not just generic ideas) ✨ Authentic content (with your unique voice) ✨ Emotional intelligence (for reputation management) ✨ Accountability (to protect your brand!) Don't ditch your human marketing team for a cheap AI tool. Hire the experts who know how to leverage AI to make your marketing better, not just faster. Want to learn how we use AI to supercharge your SEO, content, and reputation?

Episode 176 | How Does YouTube's AI Recommend Videos?
How Does YouTube's AI Recommend Videos? Hey everyone, Linda Donnelly here from Business Solutions Marketing Group! You know how YouTube always seems to know exactly what you want to watch next? That's AI, and it's completely transformed how videos get discovered. Did you know 70% of YouTube watch time comes from AI recommendations, not search? That's HUGE! If you're a small business, this isn't just a fun fact; it's your golden ticket to getting found by your ideal customers without breaking the bank. The old days of just uploading and hoping are over. YouTube's AI is now a predictive engine, offering: ✨ Personalized Recommendations: It pushes your content to viewers who want to see it! ️ Real-time Translations & Dubbing: Your voice, in multiple languages, automatically! Global reach just got effortless. Smart Analytics & Content Ideas: Stop guessing! YouTube's AI helps you craft killer titles, descriptions, and even suggests what topics your audience craves. This is NOT about gaming the system. Ironically, what the AI really 'wants' is what we've always preached: helpful, relevant content that genuinely satisfies viewers. It measures viewer satisfaction with metrics like how long people watch (Audience Retention) and if they click (CTR)! ✅ Ready to turn YouTube's AI into your business's biggest advocate? You don't need to be a full-time YouTuber. Learn how to repurpose your blog content into engaging videos, even using AI voiceovers or avatars if you're camera-shy. It's all about working smarter, not harder! Dive into our latest blog post for the full breakdown and actionable tips. Link in bio!

Episode 175 | How Can My Business Prove Expertise to Google's AI? ‍
How Can My Business Prove Expertise to Google's AI? ‍ For over a decade, I've watched marketing trends come and go. But nothing has shifted the game like AI. Now, if a robot can write your content, Google's robot simply doesn't care about it. Ouch, right? I'm Linda Donnelly from Business Solutions Marketing Group, and this isn't about fear—it's about opportunity! ✨ The good news? You have something an AI can NEVER replicate: your human E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness). The internet is flooded with mediocre AI-generated content. So, how do you stand out? By creating what AI can't! Here are the 3 content types Google's AI actually rewards in 2025: "Lived It" Experiences: ️ AI can't fake your stories! Share detailed case studies, "before & after" photos, and deep dives into how you personally solved a client's problem. This is your unique data set, proving your real-world experience. Authoritative Video & Multimedia: Google's AI loves video. A real person (YOU!) explaining a concept on camera is a massive signal of authenticity. It's proof there's a human, breathing business behind the website. (Psst... this is why our Video Marketing Programs are a game-changer!) Verified User-Generated Content (UGC): ⭐ Google trusts your customers more than it trusts you! A consistent stream of recent, positive reviews on Google & other platforms is the ultimate unbiased signal of trustworthiness. (Our Review Builder service makes this effortless!) The new content strategy is simple: Stop creating what can be automated. Start creating what proves you're human. Ready to reclaim your spot on Google and show them the real expert you are?

Episode 174 | Did a Negative Article or Review Just Bury Your Business?
Did a Negative Article or Review Just Bury Your Business? You've worked tirelessly to build your brand, your reputation, your dream... but one negative article online could burn it all down. Fast. I'm Linda Donnelly, and for over a decade, I've seen the devastating impact of digital wildfires. One bad blog post, a misleading news story, an angry review – it seems small, right? Wrong. ‍♀️ Here's the harsh reality: That single article gets picked up, shared on social media, and linked by other sites. Google's algorithms see all that activity and think, "Wow, this is important!" What happens next? When customers search for YOU, that negative article dominates your search results. The Cost of Ignoring It? HUGE. Research by Moz shows just one negative article on page one can scare away 22% of your potential customers! That's tens of thousands in lost revenue, just because of something you thought would "blow over." Ouch! It's not just about customers, either. Think hiring, partnerships, even team morale. A damaged online reputation is a full-blown crisis. So, what's your defense? You can't always delete, but you can displace! We use a 3-step defense plan to flood the internet with positive, authoritative content that you control. This pushes the negative stuff off Page One – to the digital graveyard where no one looks. Don't wait for a crisis to become a catastrophe. Protect your legacy! Want to learn how we turn a digital wildfire into a firebreak of positive content? We're your digital fire department!

Episode 173 | Are Customers Choosing Your Competitor (Because of Reviews)? ‍♀️
Are Customers Choosing Your Competitor (Because of Reviews)? ‍♀️ Your #1 sales tool isn't what you think... and you're probably ignoring it! After over a decade helping small businesses thrive, I've seen countless strategies. But one thing consistently makes or breaks a local business: customer reviews. Forget fancy ads for a second. Think about your last local search. You saw those golden stars, right? ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ That's not just a nice-to-have; it's your future customer's ultimate decision-maker! Here's the harsh truth: A massive 98% of people read online reviews for local businesses (BrightLocal). That's practically everyone! If your profile is gathering dust with old or few reviews, you're literally sending customers to your competitors. ‍♀️➡️‍♂️ Google knows this.

Digital Dominance by Linda Donnelly
Video Marketing for Lawyers: The Key to Client Attraction Hi everyone, and welcome to the very first episode of my podcast! I'm Linda Donnelly, and I've been helping businesses grow with strategic marketing for over a decade. A lot of my clients are lawyers, and lately, there's one topic we keep coming back to... video. Now, I get it, some of you might be rolling your eyes thinking, "Video? Isn't that just for the TikToks and YouTubes?" But trust me, video marketing is a game-changer for law firms. That's why today, I want to bust some myths and hopefully turn you into video believers by the end of this episode. Video Isn't Just a Trend, It's the Future Okay, let's get some numbers out of the way. Did you know that the average screen time of a person in the US is SEVEN hours a day? The average user on TikTok spends 90 minutes a day watching videos. The average YouTube user watches more than an hour a day. More than 80% of all worldwide internet traffic is constituted by video content. Short-form videos under 2 minutes have the best engagement rate. That's not just teenagers; it's busy professionals, the same people who might need your legal services. The bottom line is this: businesses of all kinds see way better results when they include video in their marketing. It's more engaging, more memorable... frankly, people just like it better than reading a wall of text. Why Lawyers NEED Video Here's the thing, choosing a lawyer isn't like buying a pair of shoes online. It's personal. Video lets potential clients see you, hear you explain things, get a sense of your personality. Would you hire a lawyer without ever seeing their face? Probably not, and your clients wouldn't either. Search Power: We all know Google matters, and guess what? Videos help your website get found. It's that simple and at Business Solutions we are experts at getting your videos on Page One of Google and YouTube - the TWO largest Search Engines in the US. Now, maybe you're thinking, "My competitors aren't doing fancy videos, so why bother?" That's your ADVANTAGE. Do it right, and you'll stand out in a big way. No Hollywood Studio Required "But I'm terrible on camera!" I hear this ALL the time. Guess what? Most people are. With video, it's about being authentic, not an Oscar-winning performance. Simple is Effective: You could film a quick FAQ video answering a common client question, or do a 2-minute explainer about a confusing bit of law in your practice area. Phone cameras are awesome now, and basic editing is easier than you think. Don't have time? That's where we come in. We craft all the content, we do all of the editing and we post the videos in such a way to get Page One Google Rankings and amazing traffic to your website. Getting help doesn't have to break the bank either. Success Stories Day in and day out we get Page One, Position One Google and Youtube results for our clients driving traffic to their websites and establishing them as authorities in their practice areas. Let's Make You a Video Convert Must-Haves: Every law firm needs videos on page one of google, client testimonials, and informative videos to post on their social channels (including TikTok) that would establish them as an authority If you're truly DIY-averse, WE ARE video pros who "gets" lawyers and won't try to turn you into an influencer overnight. Video is about building trust, visibility, and getting those qualified leads coming your way. Need help getting started?
