Project History
SEO and Social Media Management | New York Law Firm
Three months through the program, users increased by 22%, new users by 57%, contact form inquiries by 47%, and phone calls by 53%. Six months through, users increased by 47%, new users by 72%, contact form inquiries by 58%, and phone calls by 62%.
SOLUTION
I optimized all 75 attorneys with highly trafficked keywords. I also optimized the URLs with attorney practice area keywords. Then, I created a case study section on the website for each practice area, with each case study highlighting challenges, solutions, and results. I gained traction by leveraging technology such as YouTube videos, onsite videos, featured snippets, blog posts, a glossary of important terms for each practice area, comprehensive FAQs, and social media sharing.
Additionally, I implemented a complete SEO revamp of their site, infusing targeted keywords in the metadata and featured snippets. I created a subdomain for their government relations and implemented a highly targeted link, building a campaign and utilizing law sites like JD Supra for attorneys to gain more visibility.
