NAP Citations
for Attorneys

Inconsistent name, address, and phone listings across the web confuse Google and quietly suppress your rankings. We audit every existing citation, correct the inconsistencies, and build new listings on the directories that actually carry ranking weight for legal services.

Google Maps
Ranking Factors

Google weighs three things for map pack placement: proximity to the searcher, relevance to the search term, and prominence built through reviews and citations. We cannot change your office address, but we can engineer relevance and prominence so you outrank firms that are physically closer to the searcher.

✓
Service area optimisation for firms covering multiple neighbourhoods
✓
Review velocity strategy that builds prominence steadily over time
✓
On site local signals that reinforce your Google Business Profile

Local Pack for
Personal Injury Firms

Personal injury has the most competitive local pack in the legal industry, because the value of a single signed case justifies aggressive local SEO investment. We build review velocity and citation authority specifically calibrated to outrank the firms already spending the most in your city.

FAQ

Local SEO
Questions Answered

How many Google reviews does my law firm need?

There is no fixed number, but firms ranking in the top three of the local pack typically have both a higher review count and a higher average rating than competitors in the same city. Review velocity, meaning how regularly new reviews come in, matters more than total volume alone.

Does my law firm need a listing for every office location?

Yes. Each physical office with its own address and staff should have its own Google Business Profile. Listing multiple locations under one profile, or creating listings for virtual offices, violates Google guidelines and risks suspension.

How long does local SEO take to show results?

Local SEO typically moves faster than organic SEO. Most firms see Google Business Profile and map pack improvements within 30 to 60 days, compared to 4 to 6 months for competitive organic keyword rankings.
