How Live Chat Can Benefit Your Law Firm

Find Out How Live Chat Can Help Your Law Firm Convert 30% More Leads

Law firms can easily improve their marketing strategies on their website by offering a live chat feature. Using live chat software gives your website visitors an easy way to contact you and get their questions and concerns answered right away, which may help you stand out among other law firms that may not offer live chat on their websites.

While it benefits your website visitors, it’s also benefiting you. With live chat, you’ll be able to generate more leads and possibly move your leads through the sales funnel faster by scheduling consultations and offering them valuable answers to their questions instantly.

Something to consider when implementing a live chat feature on your website is the ethical standards that the American Bar Association has set for lawyers’ websites. Once you’ve reviewed them, here are some of the main benefits of using live chat on your website:

Make a Good First Impression

Most people who need the help of a lawyer are looking to get their questions answered as quickly and conveniently as possible, so live chat allows them to contact you and gives them relief compared to having to use contact forms and wait for you to reply by email or phone.

Being able to offer your website visitors their answers as quickly as possible helps you build trust between you and your leads, and a relationship can be built off the feeling of your easing their anxieties and fears in a possibly stressful situation.

Gain Competitive Advantage

Tying it in with the last benefit, being able to help your prospective clients in stressful situations may be exactly what they need to choose you to help them in their time of need. During these stressful times, as your prospective clients are searching multiple sites for the answers they need, your website may stick out to them by offering a live chat feature where they can get their answers quickly and easily.

Save Time With Client Intake

Depending on the software that you use, you may be able to intake clients and leads even when you’re busy or it’s outside of business hours. You can utilize our 24/7 website chat service to perform new client intake, and pre-screen potential clients without taking time away from your office staff. This will allow you to have a detailed summary of the situation prior to even starting your consultation, saving you time.

You’ll also save money by not having to hire someone to constantly be handling administrative tasks that include inquiries from the live chat function on your website.

Increase Conversion Rates

You don’t want the money you spent on your website (and not to mention the rest of your business) to go to waste. Therefore, you want a website design that is going to convert your visitors into clients. Live chat increases your chances of converting leads into clients, since you’ll be able to offer them answers and valuable information quickly and easily.

Our live chat service increases leads and conversion rates by about 20% on average, so the investment is well worth it.
