Law firm

SEO turbo for a law firm in a competitive environment

An established law firm from Passau specializing in employment law wanted to increase its online visibility and attract more clients via its website. The objective was clear: to be better positioned in order to reach potential clients faster and increase turnover. We relied on a targeted SEO strategy that was specifically tailored to the needs of lawyers.

Challenge and strategy:

Despite a good reputation, the law firm had low visibility for important search terms such as "employment law lawyer" and "dismissal protection lawyer Passau". The challenge was to position the law firm on the top Google pages and significantly expand its reach. Our strategy included comprehensive on-page optimization, improving the technical structure and a strong content strategy to gain the trust of the target group. We particularly focused on local SEO to target clients in the region.

Implementation and optimization:

  • Technical SEO: Improved loading speed by 50%, which optimized user experience and Google rankings.
  • OnPage optimization: Comprehensive keyword optimization for more than 20 relevant legal terms, including "Arbeitsrecht Anwalt", "Kündigungsschutz Anwalt Köln" and "Abfindung Rechtsanwalt".
  • Content marketing: Development of 4 legal blog posts per month that were not only optimized for SEO, but also directly addressed the questions of the target group and strengthened the authority of the law firm.
  • Local SEO: optimization of Google My Business profile and creation of regional landing pages to dominate local queries.

Result:

  • Positions improved: Within 6 months, the law firm rose to the first page of Google for over 10 relevant keywords.
  • Increase in visits: Organic reach increased by 45%, resulting in a significant increase in the number of visitors to the website.
  • Client growth: The number of client inquiries via the website increased by 35%, which led to a 20% increase in sales.
  • Better conversion: The 30% increase in dwell time and 18% reduction in bounce rate indicated higher user satisfaction and an increased conversion rate.

Tenancy law firm

SEO for a specialized tenancy law firm - How we doubled visibility

A law firm specializing in tenancy law wanted to expand its online presence and establish itself as a leading law firm in its region. The aim was to get the law firm onto the first Google pages for relevant local search terms and increase the number of new clients. We developed a customized SEO strategy that focused on local SEO and specifically on the target group of tenancy law clients.

Challenge and strategy:

The law firm was well-known in its region, but online visibility was well below average. Many potential clients found competing law firms for local search queries such as "tenancy law lawyer Cologne". Our goal was to close this gap, optimize the website both locally and thematically and position the law firm as a leading expert in tenancy law.

Implementation and optimization:

  • Local SEO: creation of regional landing pages and optimization of the Google My Business profile to achieve top rankings for all relevant local search terms.
  • Keyword optimization: Targeted optimization for 15+ local and subject-related keywords, e.g. "tenancy law lawyer Cologne", "termination law lawyer NRW".
  • Content marketing: Development of a content strategy with legal case studies and FAQs that strengthen the local connection of the law firm and increase relevance for the target group.
  • Backlink building: We improved domain authority by creating high-quality, local backlinks from partners and relevant real estate sites.

Result:

  • Visibility: The law firm doubled its visibility for local search terms within 4 months. More than 8 keywords landed on the first page of Google.
  • Visits: Organic reach increased by 60%, which led to a doubling of website visits.
  • Client growth: The influx of new clients grew by 50%, which led to a significant increase in turnover.
  • Google My Business: The law firm achieved a 5-star rating on Google My Business, which increased user trust and led to a higher conversion rate.
