01
What is law firm SEO?
+
Law firm SEO is the work that gets your firm found when someone searches for a lawyer or a legal problem: on Google Maps, in the normal search results and in AI answers. It covers your Google Business Profile, a page for each practice area, profiles of your lawyers, the technical health of your website, and the mentions and links from other sites that build trust.
02
How is SEO for lawyers different from other industries?
+
Three things. Google holds legal pages to a higher standard of trust, because bad legal information can cost someone their money, their family or their freedom. Bar and law society rules limit how lawyers can advertise, so the copy has to follow them. And legal clicks are some of the most expensive on Google Ads: about $219 for “car accident lawyer near me” in the US. That makes a high ranking worth more to a law firm than to most businesses.
03
How long does law firm SEO take to work?
+
Google Maps can move fast: the Law Offices of Jason M. Ranallo went from #10 to #1 on Google Maps for “car accident attorneys near me” in 20 days. Our guarantees put a clock on the rest. If you don’t see visible improvement in your key metrics within the first 20 days, we refund $200 on top of returning your payment for that period. If your qualifying keywords aren’t on the first page of Google within 60 days, we keep working for free until they are.
04
How much does law firm SEO cost?
+
Local SEO, organic SEO, or the two together usually run between $1,497 and $5,000 a month. Organic SEO across several websites usually starts at $5,000 a month. Your number depends on how many offices and practice areas you have, and how strong the firms above you are. You get it on the strategy call.
05
Can you rank my firm for “car accident lawyer near me”?
+
That search is won on Google Maps, close to the person searching. We build your listing, a page for each type of injury case and your local signals so you show up across the areas your clients come from. The Law Offices of Jason M. Ranallo in Canton, Massachusetts went from #10 to #1 on Google Maps for “car accident attorneys near me” in 20 days.
06
Which practice areas do you work with?
+
Personal injury, family, estate and probate, criminal defense, employment, immigration, real estate and business law, among others. Florida Probate Law Group ranks #1 for “Florida probate lawyer”, Chapman McAlpine ranks #1 for “Barrie family lawyers”, and the Law Offices of Jason M. Ranallo reached #1 on Google Maps for “car accident attorneys near me”.
07
Can you rank us across a whole state or province, not just one city?
+
Yes, when your firm can take clients across it. Florida Probate Law Group ranks #1 statewide for “Florida probate lawyer” and #2 for “probate lawyers in Florida”, “attorneys probate” and “Florida probate attorneys”. Statewide searches are won with strong practice area pages and trust from other sites, not with one office listing.
08
We have several offices. Can you rank each one?
+
Yes. Each office needs its own Google Business Profile, its own office page with real details and the lawyers who work there, and its own reviews. We plan the firm as a whole so the offices don’t compete with each other for the same searches.
09
How much do reviews matter for law firms?
+
Reviews are one of the signals Google weighs for local rankings. The others include how close you are to the person searching, how well your listing and pages match the legal problem they searched for, and how often other trusted sites mention and link to your firm. We help you build a steady routine for asking satisfied clients for a review that fits your professional rules, and we work on every other signal at the same time.
10
Will your content follow bar and law society advertising rules?
+
Yes. Advertising rules for lawyers differ by state and province. Many restrict words like “specialist” and “expert”, and many limit how past results can be described. We write within the rules that apply to your firm, and you see every page before it goes live.
11
Will you get my firm into ChatGPT and Google’s AI Overviews?
+
AI SEO is included in every plan. Clear practice area pages, named lawyers and the same business details everywhere online are what AI tools quote and cite. EquityRich, a Toronto mortgage firm we work with, ranks #1 for “commercial mortgage Toronto” and is cited in Google’s AI answer. We track where your firm appears in AI answers and report it every month.
12
Is SEO or Google Ads better for a law firm?
+
Ads buy a click today, and legal clicks are expensive: Google estimates an average of about $219 a click for “car accident lawyer near me” and $148 for “personal injury lawyer near me” in the US. SEO earns the visit without paying for each click, and it keeps working after the budget stops. Many firms run both and lean more on SEO as rankings grow.
13
Do you work with law firms in Canada and the US?
+
Yes. We rank firms across Canada and the United States, from solo practices to multi-office firms. The results on this page come from Florida, Massachusetts and Ontario.
14
Which law firms do you take on?
+
Established firms doing $20,000 a month or more. We take on 15 new clients a month, so every one of them gets the work done properly.
15
Am I locked into a long contract?
+
No. There are no long-term contracts. Results keep you here, not paperwork.
