SEO For Law Firms


Being a law firm or lawyer means you’re in a highly competitive industry. Marketing your services to possible clients and having clients find you can be difficult and expensive. Luckily, SEO gives law firms the capability to get easily found by people who need lawyers.


Law firm SEO allows your site to get found on search engines for the range of different services you offer. This results in lots of leads for your firm. So if your law firm is not doing SEO and not on the 1st page of Google for the services you offer in your city, then read on to see how Daylight Digital’s SEO for law firms can help your law firm website with search engine optimization.

Law Firm SEO Case Study


I started working with a law firm in Ottawa, Canada with a goal of getting to the 1st page of Google for 20 main keywords that we decided on based on the services they offer. Ottawa is a very competitive city for lawyers in Canada so I knew this wouldn’t be easy.


When we first started the SEO work they were not ranking in the top 100 positions for most of the 20 keywords we were targeting. And none of their current top 100 keywords were anywhere near the 1st page of Google. Even though they had a nice looking website, structured well and the site had already been around for many years prior, they just hadn’t done any search engine optimization.


Through a combination of backlink building, website optimization, Google Business optimization, directory listings, and a couple of my secret SEO techniques I was able to get them to the 1st page of Google for a bunch of high value keywords, and on the second page for a bunch more so far.


This means people in Ottawa searching for these keywords in the images below are going to see this client’s website and likely check it out to see if they are a good fit to work with.


Below are the keyword rankings of the website on Jan 2, 2021 versus Sep 20, 2022. You’ll see the massive increase from when I started their SEO versus where they are now.
