You have questions, we have answers!

Frequently asked questions
Do you only work with law firms?

Yes. We specialize exclusively in SEO for law firms, with deep expertise in DUI defense, personal injury, criminal defense, and family law. We understand legal marketing compliance, client search behavior, and what actually converts prospects into consultations.

What makes your law firm SEO different?

We focus on leads, not just rankings. Our campaigns target the exact keywords that bring phone calls and form fills - like "Baltimore DUI lawyer" instead of generic terms that get traffic but zero consultations. Plus, you own everything we build. No contracts holding your data hostage.

Why isn't my law firm generating qualified leads from organic search?

Usually it's one of three problems. You're ranking for the wrong keywords - people researching DUI penalties don't hire lawyers, people searching "DUI lawyer near me" do. Your website doesn't look trustworthy - no reviews, no case results, generic content. Or your Google Business Profile isn't optimized properly for local searches.

Can you help my firm compete with bigger competitors?

Absolutely. Large firms move slow and target broad keywords. We help you dominate hyper-local searches in your specific city and practice area where prospects are ready to hire right now. You don't need their budget. You need better execution in your local market.

What services do you provide beyond SEO?

We offer a complete digital marketing solution for law firms. That includes local SEO and Google Business Profile optimization, custom website design built for conversions, paid advertising campaigns that actually generate cases, Answer Engine Optimization for AI search tools like ChatGPT, and platform migrations if you need to move from Wix or Webflow to WordPress.

How do you keep me updated on my SEO progress?

Complete transparency. We set up a dedicated Slack channel for your firm where you get weekly SEO plan updates, growth reports, and direct access to your strategist. You'll also receive monthly SEO reports with detailed performance metrics, ranking changes, and traffic analysis. No waiting for scheduled calls to know what's happening with your campaign.

Do you work with high-end DUI cases?

Yes. We specialize in marketing for DUI defense attorneys handling complex cases - multiple offenses, commercial driver licenses, professional licenses at risk, and high-profile clients. These cases require a different marketing approach because the stakes are higher and clients expect proven expertise. We position your firm to attract serious cases, not just first-time offenders.

What's the biggest mistake law firms make with SEO?

Treating their website like a brochure instead of a tool that answers questions. Someone arrested for DUI wants to know what happens next, what the penalties are, and how you can help. Most law firm websites just talk about awards and credentials. Answer the questions prospects are actually asking.

Will I own my website and analytics accounts?

Yes. You permanently own your website, Google Analytics, Search Console, and all content we create. Many agencies hold these hostage to keep you locked in. We don't operate that way. You can leave anytime and take everything with you.

What if I'm already working with another agency?

Most firms switching to us had the same problem: traffic increased but consultations didn't. We audit exactly why your current strategy isn't converting and show you what's missing. If we can help, we'll tell you how. If we can't, we'll tell you that too.

How does Google decide which law firms to show first?

Google looks at three main things. Can you actually help someone with their legal problem - proven through comprehensive content about your practice area. Do other people trust you - shown through reviews, case results, and mentions on legal directories. Are you clearly located where the person is searching.

Why do some law firms rank high but still don't get cases?

Because they're ranking for research keywords, not hiring keywords. Someone searching "what is a DUI" is learning. Someone searching "DUI lawyer open now" needs help immediately. We target the keywords that bring consultations, not just traffic.

What's the difference between traditional SEO and local SEO for law firms?

Traditional SEO focuses on broad national rankings. Local SEO targets people in your specific geographic area who need legal help right now. For law firms, local SEO is critical because someone in Baltimore searching for a DUI lawyer isn't going to hire someone three states away. We optimize for the map pack, Google Business Profile, and location-specific keywords that bring local cases.

Do you guarantee first page rankings?

No. Google doesn't sell rankings and anyone guaranteeing them is lying. What we guarantee: transparent reporting, strategies that won't get you penalized, and a custom plan built for your practice area and market. We only take clients we're confident we can help.

What happens after I sign up?

We audit your current website, rankings, and competitors. Then we build a custom strategy targeting the keywords that actually bring consultations in your market. You get a dedicated strategist, monthly reporting, and direct communication - no account managers reading from scripts.
