Local SEO for lawyers: more client calls from Google Maps

People who need a lawyer search things like “divorce lawyer near me” and call a firm from the map. We set up and run your Google Business Profile so your firm shows up there.

What we do

  • Set your main category to your real practice area, like personal injury, family law or estate planning, instead of just “Lawyer”
  • List your services in words clients use: car accidents, divorce, custody, DUI, wills
  • Check that any profiles for individual lawyers follow Google’s rules
  • Add real photos of your office and team
  • List you on Apple Maps, Bing, Yelp and legal directories with the same details everywhere
  • Ask clients for Google reviews, within your bar’s rules
  • Post to your profile every week
  • Send a monthly report with your calls, direction requests and rank map

What we won’t do

No virtual offices to show up in more cities, no bought reviews and no keywords like “best injury lawyer” stuffed into your firm’s name. Those break Google’s rules and can get a profile suspended.

What it costs

$299 a month, or $499 a month with a website. 3-month minimum, then month to month. If your calls from Google haven’t doubled by month 3, we work for free until they do. See the plans, what’s included and the guarantee terms.

Questions lawyers ask

Can we ask clients for Google reviews?

Google allows it, as long as you ask every client and offer nothing in return. Some bar rules add limits, so your firm decides what’s allowed and we follow it.

Can we reply to client reviews?

Yes. Keep replies general. Never confirm that someone is a client or mention anything about their case.

Should each lawyer at our firm have their own Google profile?

Google allows it for lawyers who deal with clients directly. It can help, or it can split your reviews. We look at your firm on the rank review and tell you what fits.
