Solo practitioners to mid-size firms

The marketing audit for law firms

The signals that decide which firm gets the call.

A prospective client searches for a firm, reads the reviews, checks the site for a plain explanation and a way to make contact, and calls one firm. EchoPilot checks each of those signals: the brand-name search, the Google rating and how negative reviews are handled, the contact form, the homepage opening, and whether name, address and phone match across listings.

Law firms run under the professional-services rule set, which adds the platform-fit and buyer-question rules. On the higher plans EchoPilot drafts posts and review replies as approval-gated drafts: a lawyer or staff member reads and approves each one before it is published. EchoPilot makes no assessment of professional-conduct or advertising rules; that judgement stays with the firm.

After the first audit

A typical first 90 days

The memo lists at most eight actions, ordered gating first, then by severity. For a law firm business the first ones usually look like this; yours come from your own audit's failures.

  1. Standardise the firm's name, address and phone across the site, Google, Facebook, Yelp, Apple Maps and Bing.
  2. Rewrite the homepage opening to state the practice areas, who the firm serves and where, with one contact action above the fold.
  3. Write the buyer-question pages the audit looks for: what it costs, how long it takes, one option versus another.
  4. Set a routine for replying to reviews, starting with negatives, using approval-gated drafts on Growth and Managed.

Each action in a real memo carries the rule ids behind it, concrete steps, an effort estimate and an owner: you, or EchoPilot drafting for your approval.

Questions from law firms

Is anything published without a lawyer's approval?

No. Drafts wait in an approval queue; a person on the account approves each one, and that approval is recorded. Nothing is posted automatically.

Does EchoPilot check advertising or conduct rules for lawyers?

No. It checks marketing signals: listings, reviews, the website, social profiles and analytics. Whether copy meets professional rules is for the firm to judge before approving a draft.

Which rules matter most for a firm?

Brand-name search visibility, Google rating and negative-review response, a working contact form, the homepage opening, and consistent name, address and phone. The audit weights these with the professional-services overrides.

Can we audit several office locations?

One account audits one business website and one Google Business Profile. Offices with separate sites need separate accounts.
