Law firm SEO that brings in the cases you want

When someone needs a lawyer, they search Google and call one of the first few firms they see. Our law firm SEO gets your site into that short list for the searches that turn into real cases. It's SEO for lawyers, from a team that has worked only with law firms since 2008.

Why isn't your firm showing up on Google?

Usually it's a mix of three things: a site Google has trouble reading, pages that don't match what people search, and too few other sites vouching for you. Fix all three and your firm starts showing up for the searches that matter.

  • A site Google has trouble reading

  • Pages that don't match what people search

  • Too few other sites vouching for you

A common picture: a homepage that tries to cover every practice area at once, one short page per practice area, and a blog that stopped a few years ago. Meanwhile, the firms ranking above you have a page for each case type they want, a site that loads fast on a phone, and a steady stream of mentions from other sites. Legal directories take some of the top spots too, so the space left for law firm websites is small.

The good news is that search rewards the firms that answer clients' questions clearly. Most of that is work we can plan, do and measure.

What our law firm SEO services include

We handle the technical side, the pages and the links, in the order that brings you the most cases soonest.

SEO for the map results has its own playbook, centered on your Google Business Profile. That's our local SEO for law firms, and it runs alongside this work.

How legal SEO is different

Legal SEO (some call it attorney SEO) isn't generic SEO with a gavel on the homepage. A few things change how we plan it.

Some searches are worth far more than others

"Car accident lawyer" and "how long do I have to file an injury claim" might both bring visitors, but only one is usually someone ready to hire. We pick keywords by the cases they lead to, then build the pages to match. Our pages for personal injury, family law and other practices show how differently each one searches.

Google holds legal pages to a higher standard

Google's quality guidelines treat legal topics as "Your Money or Your Life" content, where bad information can hurt someone. So your pages need clear authorship, real attorney bios and accurate, up-to-date information. We build that in from the start.

Your state's advertising rules apply to your website

What a law firm can say about results, past cases and attorney titles depends on the state. We write within your state's advertising rules and keep the required disclaimers where they belong, so your SEO never creates a problem with your bar.

How we report on SEO

Every month you get a short report on what matters to a law firm: calls, form leads and the rankings behind them. Then a call with our founder to talk through what's working and what we're changing.

How to choose a law firm SEO company

Ask four things before you sign: who owns the website and accounts, what work gets done each month, whether the report tracks calls and consultations or just traffic, and whether you can leave without a penalty. Our SEO agency accountability checklist turns those into yes-or-no questions.

  1. Who owns the website and accounts?
  2. What work gets done each month?
  3. Does the report track calls and consultations, or just traffic?
  4. Can you leave without a penalty?

What happens in the first 90 days

The first month finds the leaks and fixes the worst ones fast. The next two build on it.

Every change that needs your OK comes as a short video, so approvals take minutes, not meetings.

  1. Weeks 1 to 4

    One guided session to collect logins, then the full audit, call and conversion tracking set up, the most urgent fixes made, and your written 90-day plan.

  2. Months 2 and 3

    The plan in motion. New and improved practice-area pages, ongoing technical work, content and links, each month reported against your starting point.

Questions firms ask

How long does SEO take for a law firm?

Some fixes help within weeks, like repairing pages Google can't read or fixing a contact form that never reached you. Rankings for competitive searches usually take a few months to build, longer in big markets and busy practice areas. That's why we recommend giving SEO at least three months. If you need calls sooner, paid ads can bring them in while rankings grow.

How much does law firm SEO cost?

SEO is part of the PointClick Client System, which starts at $2,500/month and also covers your website, Google Business Profile, AI search visibility, reviews, social media and reporting. More content, more link building, more practice areas or more locations raise the price. There's no setup fee and no long-term contract. All our prices are on the pricing page.

Can you guarantee first-page rankings?

No, and you should be wary of anyone who does. Google decides rankings, and it changes how it ranks pages many times a year. What we can promise is the work: a clear plan, the fixes and pages in it done properly, and a monthly report that shows what moved and what we're changing. And if you're not happy with our work in the first 30 days, we refund your first month's fee in full.

We already have an SEO agency. How hard is it to switch?

Easier than you'd think. We collect the logins with you on one short screen share, handle the move, and give you a template for the "thanks, we're moving on" email. We'll also check what your current agency has done, so nothing useful gets undone. Two agencies changing the same site tend to undo each other's work, so we take over once you've ended the old arrangement.

Do we need a new website for SEO to work?

Not always. If your site is in good shape, we'll keep it and improve it for the same price. If it's slow, hard for Google to read or built on a platform that fights every change, a new site may be the faster path, and we build it with no upfront fee as part of the Client System. The audit tells you which one makes sense.
