SEO for lawyers

If you’re not in the top three, you’re missing clients.

Most law firms that we have helped have told us that their most common problems include:

Lack of consistent presence for a range of services they provide

Lack of local presence for terms like “lawyers near me” or “law firm near me”

No in-house expertise in SEO or paid ads

Very low visibility only for specific service areas

No control over lead and lead quality

Majority of people seeking legal services turn to online search to find a lawyer either on desktop or on mobile phones. If your law practice doesn’t appear in Google’s top three results — chances are you’re likely missing out on potential clients.

Research suggests that up to 75% of law firms leads are generated through search marketing in the first 24 hours. Improve your odds by investing in an SEO strategy for long term practice growth.
