Want to Hear a Good Lawyer Joke?

Are you a SEO at a Networking event?

Do you need a good ice-breaker?

Try relating a good joke or one liner that highlights your skills in a way that gets them to like you and makes a lasting impression.

For instance, if you plan to meet an attorney at your next Chamber of Commerce after-hours event come prepared. I find that attorneys like a good lawyer joke more than any other professional because they’re used to poking fun of themselves.

Try this one for size and good luck.

“Hey, want to hear a good lawyer joke from an SEO’s perspective?”

“A priest, a lawyer and an SEO walk into a bar…”

Then, stop and say, no that one’s not ready yet, let me ask you first, “What type of law practice are you in?”

Then, select a practice of law that requires your service as a SEO or any other form of digi-marketing. Make note if they are a personal injury lawyer then continue with your joke and say, “What do 50-P.I. lawyers in Salt Lake City have in common that the BEST don’t?”

Their response, “Not sure, what do 50 Top P.I. lawyers in SLC have in common?”

Click image to hear punch line…

“Well, the ones on page 2 of Google, then page 3, 4, 5 and 6, that’s 50, aren’t on Page 1.”

NOTE to ha ha! “Get it, only the BEST or TOP 10 can be on the first page for personal injury lawyer in SLC!”

This joke also works with other professions that need to hire you for your SEO or digi-marketing services to get them to the 1st page of Google. Just substitute lawyer with dentist, spa owner, roofer, mortgage broker, electrician, architect, CPA. bookkeeper, DJ, printer, videographer… Be as specific as you can!
 PI lawyer

 auto injury chiropractor

Final thoughts: Be sensitive to their website ranking as you listen and find out if they are possibly interested in being on the first page for their trophy keyword(s) or if they want to get more traffic by being on the first page. Also, let them know that just because 10-websites can make it to the first page of Google that in most cases an additional 3-pack of local listing can also be on the first page due to the Google map listings.

At this time feel free to play on their ego and explain how the competition may have 2–3 listings on the first page of Google and they are stuck on page 6. Be careful not to get too wonky with your technical jargon. Nothing turns off a potential prospect if you speak geek and they don’t speak Nexter. (Nexter is a Googlebot language which is undecipherable by the average person unless you keep it simple. The dialect kicks-in when anxious SEOs and digi-geeks want to make clear to their newly found clients that their potential customers can’t find them on the Next page of Google.)

At last be creative with their marketing needs and hopefully this ice-breaker joke can work for you at your next big networking event. Good luck and stay pithy! See pictures at blog post at SEOgame.com/good-lawyer-joke
