Estate Planning Marketing: 20 Guides for Attorneys
Estate planning clients are deliberate. They compare, procrastinate and decide as couples. These guides show how to stay in front of them until they are ready to sign.
Estate planning marketing rewards patience. Few prospects wake up needing a revocable trust today, so the firms that win are the ones that stay visible and trustworthy through a research process that can last weeks or months. Probate and trust administration are the exception: an executor or successor trustee often needs help now, and the search behavior looks very different.
This collection covers both sides: paid search that doesn't waste budget on DIY will searches, SEO built around the questions families actually ask, seminars and webinars, referral partnerships with financial advisors and CPAs, email nurture, flat-fee presentation, reviews, and elder law and Medicaid planning.
