SEO For Bankruptcy Lawyers

Budget Smart, Rank Higher

If you're looking for an honest SEO Firm, you've come to the right place.

5 Reasons Bankruptcy Lawyers Should Budget For SEO & Stay Away From a Full-Service Digital Marketing Agency.

Many full-service digital marketing agencies offer every service you can think of to help bankruptcy law firms win potential clients with an online presence.

While it's nice to have a one-stop service where you can fold everything you need into one invoice, it's not always the best marketing strategy for a bankruptcy lawyer.

Here are five reasons why:

Where Does Your SEO Budget Actually Go?

Big agency overhead vs. focused SEO implementation.

#1

Overpriced Full-Service Campaigns

Digital marketing agencies charge upwards of $3,000/month. Only a small percentage goes into direct SEO labor.

If you are in the process of hiring a marketing agency to manage your online presence, you should be asking them how many labor hours are going into SEO efforts. An honest marketing firm should be able to answer those questions without hesitation.

The number of hours in your SEO campaign will vary depending on the complexity of your website's setup, competitors in the bankruptcy industry, and how much visibility you want to win.

Marketing agencies would average 10-20 hours per month for an average website with a budget. But if you have a campaign focused on SEO and content, you can greatly reduce that time and your monthly cost.

#2

Budget Wasted on Overhead

The SEO budget is wasted on profits, reporting, and email support instead of actual hands-on SEO implementation.

We've experienced a lot of cross-over relationships from other agencies in the digital marketing agency world. The effort that goes into elaborate reporting, monthly calls, and strategy "noise" can take a huge chunk of the actual implementation.

As such, you should look for trusted SEO specialists that you can build a relationship that you can appreciate. Trusted SEOs will do well by squeezing every last drop of your law firm's marketing budget into getting search clicks and conversions.

#3

Outsourced Labor Risks

Your budget is outsourced overseas, causing communication, language, and strategy issues.

We once had a client come to us with his frustrations that his SEO agency was outsourcing. The language became an issue when the meta descriptions of his web pages were being optimized.

There was a big gap between how his clients would want to see written on the page and what was written. Imagine having your bankruptcy law firm website have grammar errors on it. And then having those errors show up in Google search. Ouch!

Because of the importance of local SEO and local listings, your name, address, and phone number should never have room for location errors. Small errors lead to big drops in SERPS.

You want a US SEO team that understands the culture and language of a bankruptcy law firm, city locations.

#4

Catch-All Services Lack Specialization

Digital marketing agencies offering catch-all services are not SEO specialists.

SEO agencies are specific to Google search visibility. That's where most of your budget should go. Unfortunately, using a catch-all service will get you a lot of impressions on Facebook but not a lot of clicks and calls.

Ads are a push-in type of visibility where people are served up an ad when they don't want to see it. So impressions are high, but clicks are very low.

Search engine traffic is a pull-them-in type of visibility. The clicks you get are much higher in quality. This is because they are on Google and need your bankruptcy law firm's services NOW.

#5

You're Just Another Number

Huge agencies manage hundreds or thousands of clients. A micro SEO company delivers personal attention.

We've experienced huge marketing agencies charging lawyers a minimum of $2,000, and they are managing hundreds and sometimes thousands of clients.

A micro SEO company will take care of you, answer the phone and talk when you need to, and show you detailed reporting when you ask for it.
