Today, more than ever, potential clients are taking to the internet to find a law firm just like yours. But can they find you, or are they just finding your competitors? If you’re not visible in search results, how do you expect to grow your firm ? It’s simple; if you’re looking to grow, you need search engine optimization for your law firm.
In a nation with the highest number of lawyers per capita than any other on Earth, competition is fierce. And surveys have found that potential clients now use search engines to find a lawyer more than any other source, save friends and family. Basically, if you're not showing up in search engines, you're losing money.
33 percent of clicks from organic search results are on the first Google listing. Another 63 percent of clicks are made on rankings 2-4.
Calls from search are increasing 42 percent each year, and by 2018, mobile search will generate 73 billion annual calls to businesses.
Organic search leads have a 14.6-percent close rate, while outbound marketing leads close only 1.7 percent of the time.
Organic search drives 51 percent of all visitors to business websites.
Through SEO, your law firm's website and content organization is designed in a way that it pushes your listing higher in search-engine rankings. We can help ensure you don't spend a considerable amount of time and money on website development only to see your ranking remain stagnant or fall.
You're in a position where you can grow your firm and accept more leads and potential clients.
You want your website to appear where potential clients naturally search and drive more organic traffic.
You want to increase meetings with prospective clients, hold additional consults, maximize billable hours, and grow overall.
You want a professional to handle the marketing, so you can focus on practicing law and running your business.
In the early days of online marketing, it wasn't difficult to rank on search engines by simply infusing keywords and phrases throughout your website. Search engine algorithms were somewhat primitive, so it was easy to increase your ranking by increasing the density of keywords such as "legal service" and "Idaho lawyer" on your home page.
But search engines have vastly evolved. Google now frowns upon many of the older tactics, and will even penalize or delist websites that use unnatural means of manipulating their search rankings. The algorithms now further penalize sites that feature low-quality content. In fact, since 2013, Google's search engine can recognize language and interpret the topic of a website's content, regardless of keyword usage.
Elite Legal Marketing has helped countless law firms across the nation dominate their markets since 2010. We've seen search algorithms evolve, and we're prepared to constantly adapt your SEO strategy to adapt.
There’s a lot of legal marketing firms making promises to law firms that they cannot keep. Here are just a few examples of how we are different:
Our battle tested formula has been built over 6+ years working exclusively with attorneys who compete in big cities and extremely competitive markets.
Lots of trial and error while they figure things out on your dime, while your website sits on page 5 of Google.
All of our staff is In house which means you get accountable professionals who deliver quality work.
Outsourced to multiple (often overseas) companies, which means low quality work that produces erratic and mediocre results.
We build the most high quality and authoritative links possible. We’ve scored our clients links from some of the top media outlets in the nation, including HuffingtonPost, Inc, American Bar Association (ABA), and many others. Simply put, we build links that pack a serious punch.
No link building at all or even worse, tired and lazy tactics like “We submit your site to over a 100 directories”.
Monthly reports showing every task completed by us for your firm which we are happy to explain when needed so you can trust we are hard at work getting firm results
No reporting at all or at best a keyword rankings report which tells you very little about the work being done.
We’ll never work with two competing law firms, so if your competition calls us, we tell them we can’t help
“If you have money you can be our client!”, which means you really have no competitive advantage in the event you do get great results.
Our clients get to page one on Google in the time frame we set out from the beginning, without exception which brings them clients and cases as quick as humanly possible.
“If we give it another 3 months I think we should see some improvement”
Elite Legal Marketing offers superior law firm web design and digital marketing services, including SEO, PPC and display advertising. And while many could build a decent website, we remain on top of search algorithm changes and trends to provide ongoing customized service. Our clients find us to be professional, accountable, reliable and extremely effective.

"Wow! Dan and his crew takes care of business! We run a mid-sized law firm and had contacted other website companies. Across the board they upsold, overpromised and undelivered. We called Dan and he was responsive, gave a straightforward quote with timeline and COMPLETELY DELIVERED THE BEST WEBSITE OUR COMPANY HAS EVER HAD! After the site launched he even helped me with my emails and added a couple extra items to the site. I have had A LOT of compliments on the new site from customers and peers. I cannot recommend these guys enough. It was really nice to get the website and service that he delivered."
"I've worked with Brian at Elite for over two years now. You expect any company you bring your business to to be honest, ethical, and to deliver on your expectations. What has set him apart from the numerous other marketing firms that I've encountered is that he has always been proactive about modifying our tactics ahead of the competition. He has never once tried to 'sell' me on a service, but is truly interested in helping our firm grow."
"Elite took over the SEO for my website and Brian and his team got right to work and I immediately saw an increase in performance over the months continued to see improvement. Its meant a lot to my practice and it means a lot to me. I work hard for my money and I appreciate when someone understands that and does their job and does it well."
“One of the best marketing decisions I made in my practice was choosing to work with Elite Legal Marketing. After seeing the work they had done for other law firms I decided to turn to them. Before working with Elite, we had marginal success with advertising our practice on the internet. We had tried a few other internet lawyer marketing companies and picked up the occasional client but the business was never consistent. Within a few months of working with Elite, we started to generate new cases as a result of our high ranking on Google and Yahoo. I’d recommend them to any law firm.”
“The guys are Elite Legal Marketing are extremely talented in their field. I've gotten a number of compliments from fellow attorneys about my new website, and our search engine marketing campaign is already driving traffic. I'm happy to recommend Elite to anyone looking for an honest and straightforward legal web design and marketing company.”
“The staff at Elite are hands down the most knowledgeable, talented and honest website design firm I have ever worked with. Finding a solid agency is very difficult and as a consumer/client it is very difficult to know who to choose. I would (and have) recommended Dan to fellow business associates that are looking for high quality design. One thing I really separates Elite from other agencies I have worked with is the level of transparency. You'll know what was done and what you are paying for. I absolutely recommend Elite Legal Marketing.”
