Attorney SEO stands for search engine optimization. SEO for lawyers is the process of optimizing both on-site and off-site elements of your law firm’s website to achieve the highest search engine rankings possible in order to attract people who are searching online for your services to your website.

I’VE BEEN SEEN ON:
IT’S HARD TO DOMINATE SEO FOR ATTORNEYS
WE JUST MAKE IT LOOK EASY
FROM WEBSITE LAUNCH TO THE #1 RANKED SEO EXPERT FOR LAW FIRMS IN LESS THAN
7 MONTHS.
Our launch plan originally called a 14-18 month timeframe to take over the #1 ranking in the search engine results pages (SERP’s) for the top keywords related to SEO for lawyers. Google searches for law firm search engine optimization keywords are highly-competitive, so our original goal of reaching the top spot for many of those keywords in about a year was pretty reasonable.
Fortunately, we were able to put together the right combination of domain name, on-page optimization, and great content that earned a lot of high-quality backlinks from authoritative sites.
Our website is still pretty ‘young’ in Google’s eyes, and it’s natural for rankings to bounce around during this period as a site continues to build domain authority. But we’re climbing up the first page for all of our high-priority keywords.
Why is the case study on our own website
such a good indicator of who is actually
the best SEO company in the legal space?
Because the competition among the top agencies for keywords related to SEO for attorney-related searches is one of the most competitive arenas in the internet marketing space.
That makes online rankings for the keywords we’re competing for the ultimate example of the SEO agencies in this niche going head-to-head,,, and it allows you to quickly cut through all the b.s. and marketing fluff.
HERE’S HOW WE DID IT

Been DISAPPOINTED by other SEO companies?
YOU AREN’T ALONE!
Most law firms have invested in SEO services at some point, only to be disappointed with the results… or the lack of results.
Here’s why… most agencies who specialize in search engine optimization for law firms follow the same process, and pursue the same widely-known strategies as everyone else. Because that’s all they know. The problem is that if you’re only doing what everyone else does, then you have no advantage. No edge over your competitors.
Do We Know Things Other Legal SEO Agencies Don’t?
You bet we do. Because we developed many of the advanced strategies that allow us to consistently rank our clients above their competition ourselves.

How You Can Keep An Eye (Spy)
On Your SEO Company
On Your SEO Company
One of our first clients came to us after leaving a very high-profile digital marketing agency. He’d been paying them for 2 years – and gotten absolutely nothing for all the money he spent on their SEO services.
If you’re a lawyer, you know which internet marketing company I’m referring to. They churn out lots of pretty law firm websites (that are overpriced and poorly structured for SEO by the way) – and they have plenty of video testimonials from attorneys who are happy with their company.
However, if you pay close attention to those testimonials, you’ll notice that you never hear any lawyer talk about what a great job the company did for them on a search engine optimization campaign.
Revealing The Extent Of The Damage
When we audited our client’s website before he hired us, it was obvious that an SEO novice could have done more optimization on his site in about 45 minutes than this well-known national agency did for him in two years.
Unfortunately, stories like this are all too common among law firms – especially when it comes to SEO companies.
Long-Term Approach = Long-Term Success
A professional SEO campaign is definitely a long-term growth strategy, and you have to approach it with long-term goals in mind.
Given enough time and resources, your investment in SEO should produce higher returns than any other law firm marketing strategy – and you will reap the financial rewards of that investment for many years to come.
But it absolutely takes time to see the results of the work being done today begin to show up in the form of more phone calls from potential clients .
Why?
Because that’s the way search engines (and their algorithms) work.
Unfortunately, the long-term nature of an SEO campaign makes it possible for unscrupulous digital marketing agencies to take advantage of clients.
So if you aren’t sure that you’re getting your money’s worth from an active SEO campaign, here’s a simple way you can take a peek (using a tool we love called Ahrefs) – and make sure the optimization work you’re paying for is actually being performed.
Without you having to get in the weeds or learn how search engines work.

Is your law firm being handcuffed by mediocre search engine rankings?
We understand how frustrating that is. We get it. We get it because we see it almost every day. It’s not uncommon for us to perform website audits for law firms who are paying substantial monthly retainers to well-known agencies for SEO services, only to find that they’re getting little to nothing for their money.
The simple reason it’s so hard to find a great SEO company
Pretty much every company that offers SEO services for attorneys has a great website, with nice pictures of their staff, and compelling copywriting that inspires confidence in their ability to help you bring in more leads for your firm. What they don’t have is a real-life, ass-kicking SEO professional who knows how to succeed in one of the most competitive verticals in the world – local SEO for attorneys.
FACT : Most law firm SEO companies are run by marketers – not SEO professionals.
FACT : Most law firm SEO marketing companies hire relative novices to work on optimizing attorney websites.
Is it really a surprise that agencies full of average SEO ‘professionals’ can’t compete with an organization that focuses exclusively ranking law firm websites at the top of search results?
