Market on TikTok

Campaigns on this video-sharing platform can be much cheaper than Facebook or Instagram marketing. If you create engaging content, you have a real opportunity to go viral, too. It’s a great way to compete effectively with the big firms and their huge marketing budgets.

Offer client transportation

Partner with a specialist transportation company like Compliant Clients to offer transportation services at no upfront cost. That solves a big problem for many clients (and gives you a compelling differentiator to market on your website.)

Many clients miss appointments because they don’t have access to a vehicle, get let down by public transport, or struggle to finance the costs. So when rides are scheduled for them, satisfaction levels go through the roof. Best of all, this can be done on lien, so neither you nor your clients are out of p

Here are some TikTok marketing strategies that are proven to work:

Begin your video with a strong hook: Grab the viewers’ attention in the first three seconds before they swipe to the next one.
Keep your videos short: Videos should be short and punchy, getting your point across quickly before viewers get bored.
Add strong calls to action: At the end of the video, tell people what to do next, whether it’s choosing to follow you or visiting your website.
Post at the right time: Find out when your audience will most likely be online and post your TikToks accordingly.
Use hashtags: People find content by hashtags, so be sure to add the most popular relevant hashtags.
Use trending music: Sounds on TikTok are like hashtags, so choosing popular sounds can help more people discover your content.
Master storytelling: Human beings are wired to love stories, so you make good use of them in your videos.
Cross-promote on other platforms: Once you’ve created your content, get maximum mileage by also posting them as Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.
Encourage interaction: The more people engage, the better your videos will do. So encourage people to comment and share.
Hop on trends: A video on a trending topic can go viral quickly, so look for opportunities to leverage what’s popular right now.

Take Online calls

Make it easy for clients to contact you by inviting calls on Facetime and Instagram (new!) or chatting on platforms such as WhatsApp. Your engagement rate will be much higher than with a conventional phone number (especially one answered by a virtual receptionist.)

In today’s world, most people make few old-school phone calls, yet most PI lawyers are still phone-first in their marketing. If you offer alternatives that prospective clients are more comfortable with, the barrier to communication drops considerably. And good marketing is all about good communication.

Triage legal questions

We’ve heard of many PI lawyers getting great results by acting as the first point of contact for all legal questions, from family law to criminal defense. They then refer clients to the appropriate attorneys to help build their network—and yours.

This is a win-win scenario for both attorneys and clients. Everyone gets the connection you need, plus you stand out as the connector who made it all happen. This can also lead to ideas for new website content.

Leverage word-of-mouth

You’re undoubtedly already working to stay in touch with clients and sending them modest gifts on settlement. But you can go the extra mile by recording custom videos. It only takes a moment but makes clients feel special. Your efforts will be rewarded when clients start recommending your services to friends and family.

This is more meaningful than simply sending them a birthday greeting like everyone else. By taking the time to create even a short, customized video, you stand out as someone who really cares.
