(04)Paid search at legal click prices

Legal clicks are among the most expensive in search. We control spend tightly and track signed cases, not just calls.

Multi-office firms

Firms with several offices need each one to rank locally without competing against the others.

FAQ
(01)Why is legal search so expensive?
Because a single case is worth a great deal, so firms bid accordingly. Clicks in personal injury can run past sixty dollars, which makes wasted spend expensive and tracking essential.
(02)How should practice area pages be structured?
One page per practice area, each written properly rather than a list of services on one page. People search for the specific problem they have, not for a law firm in general.
(03)Do reviews matter for law firms?
Yes, more than most firms expect. People compare two or three firms and reviews frequently decide it, particularly for consumer facing practice areas.
(04)What about bar advertising rules?
They vary by state and they are strict on claims, comparisons and testimonials. We write to them and flag anything that needs your compliance review before it goes out.
(05)Can you handle multiple offices?
Yes, with a page and profile per office and reporting split by location, so you can see which office is generating enquiries.
(06)How long before SEO works in legal?
Longer than most categories because competition is heavier. Local and long tail terms move in months, competitive head terms take a year or more, and anyone promising faster is guessing.
