Welcome to episode 253 of the Grow Your Law Firm podcast, hosted by Ken Hardison. In this episode, Ken sits down with Kyle Sheldon, co-founder De Facto Digital Consulting. Kyle is a 10-year veteran in the legal marketing field. He co-founded De Facto Digital Consulting with John Schroeder with the objective of bringing transparency and accountability to the industry. What youâll learn about in this episode: Why Accountability is Key in Digital Marketing Firms often feel lost when evaluating their marketing performance, relying heavily on reports from vendors. A third-party audit can cut through the confusion and provide a clear picture of whatâs really working. How PPC and SEO Need Hands-On Attention PPC campaigns can easily drain budgets if not actively managed, especially with irrelevant keyword targeting. SEO takes time, especially in competitive markets, and requires a well-executed, keyword-focused strategy to see results. Why All Marketing Vendors Are Not Created Equal It's tough to know if your marketing agency is delivering real results or just fluffing up reports. Accountability measures ensure your marketing dollars are driving real progress, not just numbers on a page. How Lead Conversion Starts with Solid Intake Poor intake practices, like failing to follow up on inquiries, can leave potential clients (and profits) on the table. A well-trained, proactive intake team is essential to turn leads into actual clients, maximizing your marketing investment. Ways Full-Funnel Visibility Drives Success To capture the most leads, firms need to be visible across multiple channelsâSEO, PPC, local ads, and organic search. A comprehensive, multi-channel approach gives firms the edge in todayâs competitive digital landscape. Resources: http://www.defactodigitalconsulting.com/

Welcome to episode 240 of the Grow Your Law Firm podcast, hosted by Ken Hardison. In this episode, Ken sits down with Karlyn Ankrom, the founder and lead strategist of Oh Snap!
Social and creator of the Fan Firestarter Framework, a new approach to social media marketing made specifically for businesses âtempted to fake their own death and flee to Tahiti at the mere thought of content creation.â Karlyn developed her user-friendly strategy after working for a decade with a variety of brick and mortar businesses who were decidedly social allergic, not because they didnât want to do social media, but because they were intimidated by it. In response, her new system helps newbies get on the fast track to âunsticking their social mediaâ in just one hour per week What youâll learn about in this episode: Importance of Authenticity: Outsourcing social media can be effective if there is a strong partnership where the marketer understands the client's voice. Authenticity in content helps build trust and resonates more with the audience. Educational and Engaging Content: Providing valuable information, like tips or common mistakes, engages potential clients better than direct advertising. Content that educates while engaging can enhance the audience's understanding and connection with the brand. Targeting Audiences: Understanding where your audience spends time online (e.g., TikTok for younger audiences, LinkedIn for professionals) is crucial. Tailoring content to fit the platform and audience ensures better reach and engagement. Use of Video Content: Short-form videos, like Instagram Reels, are effective for engagement and reaching a broader audience. Utilizing b-roll content with caption overlays can be a simple yet impactful way to connect with viewers. Fun and Experimentation in Social Media: Incorporating fun and experimentation into social media strategies can lead to better engagement. Reducing stress around content creation and embracing a more relaxed approach can improve results. Resources: ohsnapsocial.com/resources
