The perils of "long tail" thinking

Ep. 95

Resource Links:

Today’s new episode kicks off with a bold claim: SEO thinking has become the default lens that most attorneys view legal marketing. 

The problem? When SEO thinking seeps into other marketing domains, it can mean undesirable results. 

Many attorneys rely on SEO to get found. Unfortunately, there’s a slim chance of ranking for high-volume terms like ‘personal injury attorney’ (at least without a huge budget). So many opt for long-tail keywords. 

The hope is that many ultra-specific phrases will keep the organic traffic rolling in. In SEO, a long-tail mindset can work.

But having this same mindset in other marketing domains brings can tank results... and can lead to a wasted marketing budget. 

In today’s episode, host Jan Roos discusses what makes up a "long-tail" mindset. He explores why this mindset doesn't work for two other popular marketing domains (hint: you've probably tried at least one of them). 

There’s much more to learn in this episode about growing your firm, so tune in now!
