A niche website is a site that covers a very specific area of law in great detail, establishing your law firm as a specialist and an expert in that field. The quality and quantity of information about that specific area of law is much greater than on a more general, storefront type website.
The benefits of sending targeted traffic to a niche website that specifically addresses their problems or concerns include:
- Visitors to the niche site regard your law firm as an expert in that area of law
- People want to do business with trusted experts
- Targeting specific companies or people and then sending them to a niche website that demonstrates your knowledge of their business or their problem results in very high conversion rates
- Niche websites produce a better quality client who is less focused on price and is more willing to pay for expert counsel that can solve their problem
- Niche sites convert visitors into leads and clients more efficiently than websites aimed at a more general audience
- The niche site genuinely educates and informs the visitor
- Offering a free report from a niche website in return for a visitor’s contact details is a very effective way of establishing contact with people who are thinking about contacting a lawyer but aren’t yet ready to commit
- The greater quantity and relevance of information results in visitors spending longer on your site, becoming more familiar with your law firm and increasing the likelihood of them responding to strong calls to action
- Recent changes in Google’s algorithm now make the length of time that a visitor spends on your site a significant factor in determining that site’s rankings for certain keywords
- Niche sites outrank more general sites for the same keywords on the search engines
- There is no limit to the number of niche websites you can have, covering every area of law in far greater detail than your main, storefront website can
