Why good firms lose the search to worse ones
Four things you can check yourself today. Each one is costing you consultations if it fails.
“Another $150 click that turned into a price-shopper who hung up in 30 seconds.”
Every click on Google Ads is paid for, every single month. When you pause the campaign, the inquiries stop immediately. Practice-area and city pages keep bringing qualified consultations long after the work is done.
A generic Business Profile category
Check: Is your primary category “Law firm” rather than “Personal injury attorney” or your actual practice?
The specific category is what puts you in the map pack for the searches that turn into cases.
One page trying to rank for every practice
Check: Search “[practice area] lawyer [your city]”. Is there a page on your site built for exactly that?
A single “practice areas” page cannot win five different searches in five different markets.
Attorney bios Google cannot verify
Check: Do bios state bar admission year, jurisdictions and a real photo, with a byline on your content?
Legal is a Your-Money-Your-Life topic; unverifiable authors are judged harder.
Leads lost after hours
Check: Call your own number at 9 p.m. What happens?
Ranking brings the call; a voicemail loses it to whoever picks up. That is why the intake demo is on this page.
Law firm SEO, answered plainly
What does law firm SEO involve?
Law firm SEO is the work of getting a practice found for the searches people make before they call a lawyer. For personal injury, family law and criminal defense firms, that means a practice-area page for each city served, a complete Google Business Profile, attorney credentials Google can verify, and technically sound pages.
Why is SEO for lawyers held to a higher standard?
Google's Search Quality Rater Guidelines list legal issues such as divorce and child custody as "Your Money or Your Life" topics, judged on experience, expertise, authoritativeness and trust. Law firm pages also answer to bar advertising rules: ABA Model Rule 7.1 says a lawyer shall not make "a false or misleading communication" about their services.
Do you have law firm case studies?
Not yet. SearchPrex has not completed a law firm engagement, so we publish no legal-specific results. What we can show is the same underlying work in other industries, labelled as such: a WooCommerce catalogue taken from about 3,000 to 11,549 indexed pages, and local service clients at #1, verified in Google Search Console.

Law firm SEO questions, answered
How long before I see results?
Practice-area and city pages usually start appearing for long-tail searches within four to eight weeks of going live; competitive terms and the map pack take longer and depend on the city and the practice area. The free tear-down gives you a realistic read for your market.
Which practice areas do you work with?
Personal injury, family law, criminal defense, estate planning and mass torts each have their own page on this site; immigration, employment and other practices are handled the same way. One firm per city and practice area.
What is GEO / AIO optimisation for a law firm?
Making it likely that AI answers — Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity — name your firm when someone asks who to call. It rests on the same things as good SEO: clear practice-area pages, verifiable attorney credentials, consistent business details and reviews.
Should I stop running Google Ads?
Not on day one. Ads buy visibility now; SEO builds visibility you keep. The sensible order is to keep ads running while organic pages start ranking, then cut spend on the terms organic covers.
Do you guarantee a #1 ranking?
No, and nobody honestly can — Google does not sell positions. What is guaranteed is the process: a written tear-down within 24 hours, a dated plan, and a Monday report on rankings, calls and form fills.
Is there a contract?
No long-term contract. Month to month, with one firm per city and practice area.
How much does law firm SEO cost?
Law firm SEO with SearchPrex runs $1,200 – $2,500 a month, depending on how many practice areas and cities the plan covers. It is month to month, and the free tear-down comes first, so you see the scope before paying anything.
