Marketing voor law firms in New Zealand: wat is anders
Marketing voor law firms in New Zealand betekent werken binnen een specifieke lokale context, niet een vertaalde versie van het Amerikaanse draaiboek. A small market where Google dominates almost completely, and word-of-mouth referrals, echoed in reviews, carry outsized weight relative to paid advertising. Licensed Building Practitioner status and similar trade-specific credentials matter for regulated categories and are worth featuring prominently. A modest, straightforward tone tends to build more trust than an overtly promotional one.
Waarom marketing voor law firms anders is
De knelpunten waar wij voor elke law firm-klant rekening mee houden.
- Practice areas like personal injury are among the most expensive and competitive keywords anywhere
- Trust and credibility signals are non-negotiable — this is often the highest-stakes decision a searcher makes all year
- A single practice area page rarely works when a firm covers multiple, very different specialties
Wat er echt toe doet
A dedicated page per practice area, each targeting its own keyword cluster and search intent
Attorney bios, case results, and bar credentials presented prominently, not buried
A conversion path built around a free consultation, not a hard sell
Local SEO for practice area plus city ("personal injury lawyer + city") — the highest-intent searches in the niche
Wat is inbegrepen
Wat een echt law firm-traject omvat, niet zomaar een generieke pakketlijst.

Veelgemaakte fouten die wij zien
Waar marketing voor law firms meestal tekortschiet.
- Running one generic "practice areas" page instead of dedicated pages that can each rank for their own high-value keywords
- Burying attorney bios and case results, when they're often the highest-converting content on the entire site
- Treating every city in the service area as equally competitive, instead of prioritizing where the firm can realistically rank first
