Episode notes

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Viktoria Altman discuss:

Risk and mindset in legal marketing
How to evaluate and choose marketing vendors
Niche focus and ideal client definition as a growth strategy
The emerging impact of AI on search, ads, and brand identity

Key Takeaways:

Lawyers should stop chasing random acts of marketing and instead copy proven tactics used by competitors who serve the same client profile and budget.
Vet agencies should ask to speak with their clients in the same practice area and budget bracket and avoid unrealistically low-priced proposals.
Concentrate marketing spend on one prioritized niche or ideal client profile first, then expand once that channel is sustainably profitable.
AI-driven search will increasingly assemble a practitioner’s brand from published content and reviews, shifting the long game toward owned content (transcripts, guest posts, reviews) and away from manipulable paid placements.
