The campaign, in three waves
Wave 1 · Weeks 1–4 · Directories
- Super Lawyers basic profile (free)
- Justia and FindLaw: claim and correct
- LawInfo and Lawyers.com: one address, one number
- BBB, Bing Places, Apple Business Connect, Yelp
- Avvo: add personal injury as a practice area
Same name, address and number on every one. This alone fixes most of the authority report.
Wave 2 · Weeks 4–8 · Boise community
- Boise Metro Chamber and Downtown Boise Association listings
- Idaho Trial Lawyers Association member page
- A sponsorship with Boise radio (Kiss FM and Wow Country link to competitors)
- Veteran-owned business directories
- Washburn Law and Southwestern College alumni notes
Local links Google trusts because they’re hard to buy.
Wave 3 · Weeks 6–12 · A story only Joe has
- Pitch: Air Force veteran from Mountain Home now helping Idaho crash victims
- Targets: KTVB, Idaho Statesman, Idaho Press, East Idaho News, Post Register
- Offer: plain-English commentary on Idaho’s fault rule and the 2-year deadline when crash stories run
- Podcasts: veteran and Idaho business shows
One news link is worth more than the 933 you have.
The press pitch, ready to send
Short, useful to the reporter, no ask for a link. Links follow when the quote runs.
Subject: Idaho crash deadlines, from a Boise injury lawyer who served at Mountain Home Hi [name], I’m Joe Frick, a Boise injury lawyer and Air Force veteran (Mountain Home AFB). When you next cover a crash on I-84 or the Connector, I can explain in two minutes what the people involved need to know: Idaho’s two-year deadline, how fault is split, and what to do if the other driver has no insurance. No quote approval needed. My cell is 208-401-9311. Joe Frick Joe Frick Law, Boise
