Be highlighted in local and legal directories
This option includes both paid and free directories. You can easily start with free directories—some will give you dofollow links, while others will be nofollow.
But dofollows and nofollows shouldn't be your only criteria for choosing a directory. Is the directory well-respected by search engines? Does it receive a significant amount of traffic? If the answer to these questions is yes, use it!
Free directories you might consider include Justia Lawyers , Avvo , FindLaw , and HG.org . Free local overseas chinese database directories like Yelp and Thumbtack are also worth checking out.
I've compiled a list of more than 100 directories , both free and paid, that you can join instantly.

LinkedIn alone generates 45% of law firm website traffic . And more traffic means increased backlink potential!
You can also find and contact relevant social media influencers to share or retweet your posts with their audience.
