We take a comprehensive approach to law firm SEO, meaning we cover all the bases to get your law firm’s website better search engine rankings.
Search engine optimization has three main pillars: technical SEO, content writing & optimization, and link building. Local SEO adds a few additional layers, like GMB optimization & citation building.
When we build your strategy, we will cover the following areas, on an as-needed basis. This keeps your budget and resources focused on the areas that will make the biggest impact for your law firm.
SEO is a competitive sport. You are facing off with competing law firms, so you must be willing to invest into beating them. To determine what your competition looks like, we will conduct a competitor analysis to identify deficiencies in your keyword targeting, content, and link profile. Armed with this knowledge, we help you define a strategy and ensure that the proper resources are allocated to make your SEO campaign a success.
Showing up high in organic search engine results pages, or as a paid search result, often comes down to specific keywords. Does the content of your website reflect the search terms that potential clients are looking up? If a Google organic search does not include your website in the results, then you could have poor keyword usage in the headings, meta descriptions, and main body of your content. Our SEO company will help conduct keyword research to see what terms you need to focus on to rank higher in Google search results. Using targeted keywords throughout your content can result in more traffic to this online marketing channel. The more site visitors you have, the more likely you are to improve client onboarding rates. It all starts with ranking better in every Google search related to your field of expertise. The Analytics tool from Google can help us test the effectiveness of keyword implementation.
Finding and fixing technical SEO issues is a fundamental part of improving your search engine rankings. During the audit phase, we complete a comprehensive review of your website, including a look at site speed and technical SEO issues. Once uncovered, we work with you and your web developer (or website platform/service) to get these issues resolved. We do not offer website design or development services as we specialize in link building & content marketing.
When analyzing your target market and competing law firms, we identify weak spots in your existing content. This could be a lack of pages covering critical topics, poorly optimized existing pages, or most commonly, a little of both. This process uncovers where you can improve, what keywords to target, and how your content should be written for maximum visibility. We can write the content or share the data with your writing team.
Link building is a major component of law firm SEO. The links currently pointing to your site could be creating issues that are decreasing or negating the impact of your other digital marketing efforts. For this reason, we start with a review and develop a corrective plan. Unless you have a manual link penalty, we rarely suggest disavowing links. Instead we like to replace the bad with good, all while correcting any existing anchor text ratio issues. We have found this to be the most effective approach, when properly executed.
In addition to correct issues with existing links and anchor text profiles, we develop a link building roadmap. This process allows us to estimate how many links are needed for each target page, what kind of anchor text should be used, and what types of links will be most effective. Your law firm will then have a better understanding of the time and resources that need to be dedicated to link building in order to catch and surpass your competitors.
Having a sound strategy is critical. However, for your law firm to benefit, the strategy must be executed. Many law firm SEO companies shy away from link outreach because it is difficult and time consuming. At Stellar SEO, we are known for our link building services, so we charge in head first and help you overtake the competition by earning valuable link placements.
In addition to organic law firm seo services, we can also help your law firm with local (GMB/GBP) SEO. If you have one or multiple locations, local search engine optimization is a great legal marketing avenue. As with organic SEO, we will analyze your current situation and your competition to build a data-driven roadmap. Since local SEO is so diverse, this could include anything from location page optimization, to identifying shortcomings with your GMB profile.
We track key KPIs to determine how well your SEO campaign is working. This same data allows us to make informed decisions about how and when to adjust your strategy. Starting with data benchmarks, we monitor your progress and adapt as needed. With Google updates coming more often, this approach enables us to keep your firm on top and ahead of the pack.
Tools like Analytics from Google allow us to test the results of a campaign, measuring KPIs like Google search results rankings, site visitors, click-through rates, and more. Having Google Analytics installed and using other analysis tools is essential to avoid using outdated methods for improving SEO.
There are many law firm SEO services to choose from, but very few of them provide the deep research, strategy, and customization that Stellar SEO does.
We go above and beyond to develop a personalized law firm SEO strategy that will help you get in front of more prospective clients, by boosting your SERP (search engine results pages) visibility. This commitment to excellence has made our law firm seo services stand out in a very crowded space.
With so many SEO companies and marketing services targeting law firms, it can be hard to choose the right legal marketing agency. At Stellar SEO, we deliver powerful results, have unheard-of client retention times (averaging 3+ years), and we have helped hundreds of clients gain visibility with our bespoke SEO services.
A good marketing strategy is diverse, measurable, and scalable. There are a number of ways to market law firms T.V., Billboards, Radio, and PPC Ads can all be an effective part of your overall marketing plan, but alongside those initiatives should be a spot for SEO. People turn to Google when researching law firms, to get more information about your firm even after getting a referral to you, and in many cases, it is the first point of information when they start their search.
If your law firm is visible, well-reviewed, and offers key information potential clients are searching for, you will make the right type of first impression. SEO services for your law firm should be a priority because a good plan is worth its weight in gold.
The website for your law firm needs to be fast, user-friendly, and well-optimized for search engines. Some law firm website platforms are lacking, giving your competitors an advantage when it comes to SEO. In addition to SEO performance, your website must help visitors find the answers they seek while guiding them to take the desired actions on your website. If your website doesn’t check those boxes, it could be a good sign that you need to consider revising your site and possibly moving to a new platform in the process. We suggest WordPress for all law firm websites. That will allow you to own your website instead of “renting” it and the WP platform provides a great foundation for SEO.

Depending on your target market, a combination of local and organic SEO may yield the best results for your law firm. To determine the exact law firm seo roadmap to follow, our team will start by reviewing the makeup of the search results for your keywords to determine which areas present the best opportunity
Generally speaking, law firms with a physical office location (or multiple) can benefit from local attorney SEO services.
A couple tools that can improve local law firm SEO are Google My Business and unique landing pages. A Google Business profile can help law firms show up on Google Maps, making it easier for prospective clients in your geographical area to find you. Additionally, unique landing pages for various service areas can also improve law firm SEO and prioritize your firm for relevant searches in your location.
Most law firms will take advantage of local SEO tools to improve their internet marketing efforts with increased brand awareness in their service location. A blend of local and organic search results will yield the best results for your law practice.
The exact cost of your campaign will be dependent upon the current health of your website, your competition, and your location. Our law firm SEO services start at $5000 per month and our typical range is between $5-$20K per month for a comprehensive campaign.
You might be wondering if a legal marketing campaign is worth this kind of price. The value that comes with ranking higher in search results cannot be understated. When you show up as the top result in a given Google search, you are far more likely to get clicks, and therefore, clients. Performing well in a Google search only happens because of effective SEO, so the investment that you put in can be repaid over and over when your client base grows. Paying for law firm SEO services will improve your position in a Google search, driving more visitors to your website to find out about the legal services you can provide.
When it comes to law firm SEO, pricing can vary considerably, based upon the current health of your law firm’s website and how far you are behind the top competitors. As law firm SEO experts, we complete detailed research into your market and determine how and where your site is falling short.
By taking this approach, we can more accurately determine how best to improve your law firm’s search engine visibility.
For example, let’s say that everyone ranking for “car accident lawyer” has a DR around 50 and 25-35 sites linking to their page while your site has a DR of 25 and only 5 sites linking to your page. We can reasonably predict that in this case, you would need around 20-30 links to be competitive and that we should target high DR links to help close up the overall authority gap. This is of course a simplified explanation, but the process works incredibly well.
When you hire a law firm SEO company, they should follow a similar process when pricing out the campaign and developing a strategy. Avoid cookie-cutter SEO for law firms as pre-built packages may or may not work for your unique situation.
Often, these cookie-cutter plans make lawyer SEO expensive and it may not even work effectively for your specific firm.
Without a clear plan, backed by data, you are going to waste time and money, while missing out on great potential cases.
You will be provided with access to your own tracking dashboard in which you can find details about traffic growth, goal completions, website health, keyword rankings, and more. Our comprehensive reporting dashboard can integrate with several external analytics tools as well, to help you see the “big picture” all in one convenient place. We also have monthly review calls to answer your questions, discuss key events, and to make sure our visions are aligned. In addition to scheduled reviews, you are able to email us any questions that come up along the way and our team will happily assist.
Our ultimate goal is to build a law firm SEO plan that generates a noticeable boost in leads, calls, and cases. To deliver on that goal. we track many additional KPIs and continually adjust your SEO strategy based on that feedback loop.
The time it takes to see results from SEO can vary depending on various factors, such as the competition in your law firm’s location and practice areas, the level of optimization of the website, and the quality of the content. A personal injury lawyer for example will typically have more competition than a family law attorney, although some specific keywords are an exception to this.
In general, it can take several months to see significant improvements in search engine rankings and traffic, even when partnering with a law firm SEO agency. As part of your initial audit and strategy development, you will receive a more precise estimation of expected outcomes and timelines.
Whether to hire a legal SEO agency or do it yourself depends on your budget, expertise, and time constraints. While some law firms may have the resources and expertise to handle SEO campaigns in-house, many others find it more effective to outsource to an experienced SEO agency or law firm SEO expert that can provide specialized expertise and a dedicated team to handle SEO strategies and implementation.
Many law firms partner with outside agencies for on-page SEO, content writing, google maps SEO, social media management, or paid search. Most law firms that do not hire a legal SEO agency are small law firms that find lawyer seo expensive compared to their earning potential, or they have built an in-house SEO team.
There also seems to be a gap in which types of law firms use SEO services. A personal injury law firm for example is more likely to hire a law firm digital marketing company than an employment law or tax attorney.
So, while there is no “right” answer about whether you should do it yourself or hire an agency, you need to be honest with yourself and determine which is most practical given your current team, resources, and budget.
For many of you, hiring a law firm SEO agency will be the right decision.
Achieving an exceptional digital presence requires experience, careful planning, and creativity.
