What it takes for law firms.
The map listing usually decides it
For most law firms searches in Birmingham, a map of local businesses sits above every organic result. If the profile is thin or the reviews are old, page-one content will not save it. We fix that before we write anything.
One page per service, per city
Different jobs carry different prices and different urgency. Stuffing them onto one services page is the single most common reason a law firms site ranks for nothing at all.
The results page comes first
Before a word is written we look at the live search results for these terms. Volume and difficulty alone have pointed us at the wrong page type four separate times this year. It costs an hour to check and a quarter to skip.
Measured in enquiries
You get call volume and where the calls came from. Rankings are how we get there, not the product. If the calls are not moving, a ranking screenshot does not fix it and we will say so.
Let’s look at your actual results page.
