Keyword Research for Lawyers

Traffic is easy to buy and easy to waste. The point of keyword research is narrower: find the searches that bring in the cases you want, and skip the ones that never convert.

No long-term contracts, ever. One strategist owns your account. Reporting shows inquiries and calls in plain English.

Intent before volume

A term with 10,000 searches a month is worthless if the people behind it never hire a lawyer. We map each keyword to intent, then prioritize the ones where a searcher is close to booking a consultation. High-volume, low-intent terms get deprioritized on purpose.

Built per practice area

Every practice area searches differently. A personal injury client and an estate planning client use different words, at different moments, with different urgency. We build a distinct term map for each area you serve, including the local variations that feed local SEO.

The map that guides everything else

Keyword research is the foundation the rest of the program stands on. It tells the content team what to write, guides the page structure, and gives you a clear view of where the winnable opportunity is.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Why not target the highest-volume keywords?

+
Because volume does not equal intent. A smaller term where searchers are ready to hire is worth more than a big one that never converts. We prioritize intent.

Do you research AI-search queries too?

+
Yes. We look at how people phrase questions to AI engines, since those longer, question-style queries increasingly drive discovery.

How many keywords will you target?

+
Enough to cover each practice area and its local variations, prioritized into tiers so the highest-value terms get attention first.

Is keyword research a one-time thing?

+
No. Search behavior shifts, so we revisit the map as rankings mature and new opportunities appear.
