306. How Can Law Firms Build Trust with ...

Gary Miles
About this episode

In this episode of "The Free Lawyer," the host welcomes Lindsey Busfield, a leading SEO expert and Vice President of Optimize My Firm. They discuss the often complex relationship between law firms and marketing agencies, emphasizing the importance of trust and results over long-term contracts. Lindsey explains how her company operates without binding agreements, focusing on client success through relevant content, authority building, and client reviews. She also touches on the impact of AI in legal marketing and shares practical advice for evaluating marketing agencies. The episode concludes with insights into balancing professional and personal life.

Lindsey Busfield is one of the leading SEO experts in legal SEO and content marketing. As the Vice President, Chief Operating Officer, and partner at Optimize My Firm, Busfield is behind some of the nation’s most powerful law firm websites.
While a dozen or so SEO agencies can tout the same accomplishments, Busfield has become an industry disrupter by revolutionizing the client-law firm relationship. Rather thank locking clients in with long-term contracts and overpromising results in time, Busfield’s company has completely done away with contracts…which attorneys surprisingly love.
Busfield is also the host of her own podcast, the Personal Injury Marketing Minute which has been applauded as one of the Best Legal Podcasts of 2024 by Attorney At Law Magazine.
