Switching costs nothing until you approve a scope, and every asset stays yours.
Cost depends on how competitive your practice areas are, your site's condition, and how many service and location pages you need. A firm competing for personal injury pays more than one focused on estate planning. We scope after an audit and price a fixed monthly program with no setup fee, so you see the full plan before committing.
Technical and on-page work usually moves rankings in eight to twelve weeks. Meaningful case-inquiry volume typically follows in four to six months. High-competition practice areas like injury or criminal defense take longer than niche ones, and we tell you which timeline applies at the audit rather than promising a date.
Yes. A single signed case in a practice area like personal injury or family law can be worth more than a firm's entire annual marketing spend, while broad informational traffic rarely converts into a consultation. We deliberately weight strategy toward the smaller set of case-intent phrases that correlate with someone actively seeking representation.
Yes. A criminal defense practice, a family law practice, and a personal injury practice each have different search behavior, different urgency levels, and different bar advertising considerations. Criminal defense searches often happen at moments of acute crisis and skew toward immediate consultation requests, while estate planning searches are more research-driven and benefit from longer educational content earlier in the process.

Yes. We work inside State Bar of California advertising rules and submit all copy for your review before publishing. We never publish guarantees of outcomes, misleading comparisons, testimonials that break the rules, or claims your team has not verified. You approve every claim, so your marketing stays compliant while it still competes for high-intent searches.
You get an audit of your current visibility, the queries worth owning, and a scoped plan with timelines. If the numbers do not support the work, we will tell you that instead of selling you a retainer.
