Lawyers and Lead Magnets: Should You Be Using Them?

What’s a lead magnet? It’s a free, helpful resource offered on your website in exchange for a visitor’s email. It’s common in business — but underused in law.

  • A free checklist (e.g., “What to Do After a Car Accident”)
  • A guide (“Understanding Estate Planning in [Your State]”)
  • A short explainer video or FAQ document

The goal isn’t to replace a consult — it’s to build trust and capture contact info.

People browsing legal help are often not ready to hire. But if they download your resource, you now have a way to keep in touch. Over time, consistent emails and helpful info build the case for choosing you when they’re ready.

Be transparent. Let users know they’re joining your newsletter or receiving updates. Follow your state’s rules on email marketing. Always include an unsubscribe option.

Lead magnets aren’t gimmicks — they’re conversation starters. When done right, they bring in the right leads and warm them up over time.
