If your estate planning and Elder Law firm is like most, you have added social media campaigns to complement your website and other marketing efforts. You add a post to LinkedIn when you speak at a conference, published an article or are mentioned in the local newspaper. You use Twitter to share news items that you think your clients needs to know about. You post judiciously on Facebook, knowing that a wider audience of friends, family, colleagues and their connections, requires a careful balance of professional and personal news.

That’s not time you want to squander. Define your goals – increasing the number of views or likes, boosting traffic to your law firm website, or getting a series of specific messages out on social media—or all three? Once you have done an analysis of how your social media campaigns are performing, compare that with your firm’s strategic goals.
