Personal injury is the most expensive category in search, and most of the firms paying for it are buying the wrong cases. We build the practice-area pages, the city rankings, the map pack position and the review profile that bring the injured person with a real claim, and we track every call back to the search that produced it.
Car, truck, motorcycle, pedestrian, slip and fall, dog bite, workplace, medical malpractice, wrongful death: each is its own search and its own page, written to the questions the injured person asks first. What the case is worth, how long it takes, what the fee is.
An injury firm ranks near its office. Satellite offices, city pages and a profile with the right categories and reviews put the firm in the three-pack across the metro, which is where "near me" searches are decided.
Injury clients are private and the bar rules are strict. The review request goes out at the right moment, written to the rules of the firm’s state, and the responses say nothing a client would not want read. The profile grows anyway.
Every call is tracked to the search that produced it, and the firm sees the calls that went to voicemail or came in after hours. Most injury firms gain more from answering the phone than from the next keyword.
Not every injury search is worth winning. A firm that takes catastrophic cases does not want the fender-bender inquiry, and a volume firm does not want to spend on the medical malpractice terms it refers out. The campaign starts with the firm’s case criteria and targets the searches that match them: the practice areas, the injury types, the cities and the questions a person with that kind of claim asks. The pages are written with the depth a serious claimant expects, the firm’s results where the state bar allows them, and the attorneys’ credentials in full.
Behind the pages, the technical work keeps the site fast on a phone, marks the firm up as a legal service with its offices and practice areas, and keeps a hundred practice pages from competing with each other for the same search.
Because the law firm SEO work we have done since 2015, from criminal defense to elder law and litigation firms, means the bar rules, the practice-area terms and the intake problems are already familiar. The strategist, the writers, the profile manager and the ad manager sit in one office in Montgomeryville, every keyword is checked weekly in SEOApp, the tracker we built, and the monthly report shows calls, consultations and signed cases from the firm’s own data rather than a screenshot. Every agreement is month to month.
"Car accident lawyer" in a metro is one of the most expensive clicks on Google, because one signed case pays for months of advertising. That is why the firms with organic rankings and map pack positions keep them so carefully: every case that comes through the ranking is a case that did not cost a click. The work is slow, the competition is the best-funded firms in the city, and the return is a pipeline the firm owns.

I had a really good impression of Nick and the team but unfortunately they significantly underdelivered on what was promised. With two days left after our first month all we had received was a list of keywords and a few articles that were almost certainly AI generated, about 20%…
What personal injury attorneys ask before they hire an agency.
Yes, because organic rankings are not bought by the month. The billboard firms often have thin websites, because their cases come from television. A firm with better practice-area pages, a stronger review profile and a complete Google Business Profile can outrank them on the searches that matter, and every case from a ranking costs nothing per click.
To a degree. The campaign targets the practice areas and injury types that match your criteria and writes the pages to the questions a serious claimant asks, which brings more of them and fewer of the rest. Intake does the final filtering. What we do not do is chase the broad "lawyer near me" terms if you do not want what they bring.
Ask at settlement or at the close of the case, from the attorney or paralegal the client knows, with a direct link. Keep the request within the state’s rules, never offer anything for it, and respond to every review without mentioning the case. Clients who were treated well give reviews; the process just has to ask.
Yes. Google opened Local Services Ads to personal injury firms in most states, and the Google Screened listing sits above the paid results at a per-lead price. We handle the verification and run the account beside the SEO and the paid search, with every lead tracked.
Paid search and Local Services Ads bring calls in the first weeks. Map pack gains from the profile work show in two to three months. The practice-area and city rankings take six to twelve months in a competitive metro, and they are the asset: once held, they produce cases without a click cost. The audit gives a timeline for your city.
No. Every agreement is month to month. The plan is explained before you pay for it, and you can stop when the work stops being worth it.
The people who would run your firm’s campaign, in their own words — how we win the practice-area terms and the city searches behind them.
Book a Call
An injured person searches three ways. By what happened to them: "truck accident lawyer", "slip and fall attorney", "wrongful death lawyer". By where they are: "personal injury lawyer in [city]", "car accident attorney near me". And by the question in front of them: "how much is my case worth", "should I talk to the insurance adjuster", "how long do I have to file". The campaign covers all three. Practice-area pages carry the first, city and office pages with Local SEO and Google Business Profile SEO carry the second, and a library of answers written by the attorneys carries the third, which is where the cases with the longest research cycle begin.
The three-pack is decided by distance, categories and reviews, and a firm with one downtown office struggles in the suburbs. City pages help, a second office helps more, and a review profile that mentions the suburbs helps most. We set the firm’s expectations by the office it has, not the offices it wants.
The free audit comes first, reviewed by a person: where the firm sits for each practice area and each city it wants, who sits above it, what their pages and profiles carry that yours do not, where the site is slow, and how the phone is being answered. The profile and citations are fixed in the first month. The core practice-area pages are rewritten next, with the depth, the credentials and the results the bar allows. City pages and the question library follow, and the review process is set up within the state’s advertising rules.
Injury clicks are expensive, which is why the paid work is narrow: the exact practice-area and city terms the firm wants cases from, with landing pages for each and every call recorded. Local Services Ads now covers personal injury in most states, with per-lead pricing and the Google Screened badge above the ads; we handle the verification and the account. Paid Advertising and SEO report into one monthly review, so the firm sees which channel each signed case came from.
Every page, ad and review request goes out within the advertising rules of the state bar the firm answers to: no guarantees, no misleading comparisons, the required disclaimers, the results only where they are permitted and qualified, and no paid or fake reviews. A compliant campaign is slower to write and much cheaper than a complaint.
Intake is where injury firms lose the most. Calls are tracked to the search that produced them, and the firm sees the ones that rang out or came in after hours. A 24-hour answering service and a text-back on missed calls usually recovers more cases than the next ranking does, and we say so when the data shows it. For the firms that grow, the pattern is the same: own the home city, add the next city with a real office, add a practice area at a time. SEO starts at $500 a month and there is no contract.
An injury firm is found on a practice-area term and judged on its reviews, so Local SEO, Google Business Profile SEO and Reputation Management carry the work, with Paid Advertising and Local Services Ads buying the exact cases the firm wants while the rankings build.
