Law Firm Marketing: Why SEO & PPC Are Critical

Is the professionally-designed website for your law practice going unnoticed?

Digital marketing efforts including Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Pay-Per-Click (PPC) are more important today than ever before. The first 5 results from a search engine account for 67.60% of clicks, while positions 6-10 only get 4%.

Your competitors are actively vying to be in this lucrative space at the top of search. If your firm doesn’t make digital marketing a priority in 2019, you are missing out on huge potential to grow your practice.

To get an edge in your discoverability online, you should look to digital marketing pros with a proven track record of helping law firms generate more clients. Pedestal Search was founded by a lawyer and ex-Googler and we have helped law practices of all sizes boost their online credibility and discoverability.

Our proprietary LIFT System combines SEO and PPC to get your law practice noticed.

 

Law Firm SEO: Rank Above Your Competition

We can help your law practice rank higher for potential clients searching for legal services in your city and area of law. We do this by leveraging SEO opportunities that we identify as part of our 4-stage LIFT SEO System.

 

1. Lay the Foundation

The first step is to perform an SEO audit. We uncover any technical factors on your website that are preventing you from ranking higher in search and rectify them.

We also help you optimize your web presence for Local SEO. This is very important for most lawyers as it ensures that you will be ranked higher on searches for legal services in your area.

 

2. Identify Needs & Opportunities

No matter how high your competitors’ search rankings are, we identify strong online ranking opportunities to lift your name and firm higher.

Our research tools discover the keywords and search phrases that are important for your business.

For example: The phrase “criminal lawyer” would be difficult to rank for, but “top criminal lawyer in Minnesota” may present a faster ranking opportunity.

We boost your brand quickly by exploiting less competitive search terms, while simultaneously building up your authority for competitive terms. We also help build backlinks to your website to boost your authority in the eyes of search engines.

 

3. Fully-Targeted Legal Content

We create a content marketing strategy that builds up your search presence and positions you as an authority in your area of expertise.

Our team of writers experienced in legal writing produce authoritative content on prominent issues in your area of law. We strategically optimize the content produced for your site through our LIFT System process detailed below:

4. Trenchant Optimization

We continually refine your program based on the analytics provided both by SEO and PPC. The advantage of running both in tandem is that the data from one strategy informs the other, helping your brand grow even faster.

SEO takes some time to show results, but when it takes off you can expect to rely less on paid advertising.
