7 to 184 clicks a month, and 374 calls in 6 months
Brand new site, zero paid ads. 1.57K clicks and 115K impressions over 16 months, and 374 calls from Google Search and Maps in the first half of 2026 alone, from people who needed a plumber now.
For personal injury lawyers and firms
More injury calls and signed cases from Google, without buying shared leads.
Personal injury SEO services put your firm in the Google map pack, the organic results and AI answers when someone nearby searches for a car accident, truck accident or slip and fall lawyer. I build case type pages, earn authority links, tune your Google Business Profile and track which calls become signed cases.
Personal injury is the most expensive local legal market to advertise in, with paid clicks often costing $50 or more each. Organic and map rankings let you compete for the same searches without paying per click, built on the local SEO services I run for every client and shaped around the cases you actually want.
Car accidents / Truck accidents / Motorcycle accidents / Slip and fall / Wrongful death / Dog bites
Personal injury attorney as the primary category, every real office verified, and photos, services and reviews that make a hurt person pick up the phone. It is the same Google Maps SEO work I do across local markets, tuned for injury searches.
A dedicated page for each case type you take, written around what an injured person wonders before calling: whether they have a case, what it costs to hire you and how long a claim takes.
Injury SERPs are full of firms with years of links behind them. I close that gap with legal directory listings, local news and community links, and placements on relevant sites, pointed at the case type pages that bring in fees.
No promised settlement amounts, no past results without the disclaimers your state requires and no titles you cannot back up. You sign off on every page before it goes live. The same rules cover every practice area, so firms that also take family, criminal or estate cases get the same checks across the whole site.
More people now ask ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews what to do after an accident and which lawyer to call. Clear answers, consistent firm details and schema give your firm a better chance of being the one named.
Call tracking and form tracking tied to each case type page, so you can see which searches lead to signed cases and which only bring tire kickers.
Truck and catastrophic injury
Truck crashes, catastrophic injuries and wrongful death claims are searched far less than car accidents, but one signed case can outweigh a year of smaller ones. These pages need more depth, stronger links and copy that speaks to families, not just drivers, so I give them their own plan.
Fewer searches, much bigger fees.
REAL CLIENTS, REAL NUMBERS
No personal injury case study yet, so here are local businesses whose rankings I built from scratch, including an electrician and a plumber who got 744 calls in six months between them. Your intake process is different, but the map pack and link work carries over.
Brand new site, zero paid ads. 1.57K clicks and 115K impressions over 16 months, and 374 calls from Google Search and Maps in the first half of 2026 alone, from people who needed a plumber now.
Launched with nothing, no clicks, no impressions. 2.09K clicks and 86K impressions over 16 months, and 370 calls from Google Search and Maps in the first half of 2026. No ad spend.
Urgent service where whoever ranks first takes the call. Tracked in SerpFox: one term from ~90 to top 3, another from 26 to 2nd, a third from the 50s to 2nd.
My first ever SEO project, my mom's salon. Grew to 1.19K clicks and 48K impressions, reaching positions 1-2 on Google for the searches that bring in clients.
After a crash or a fall, most people search from the phone in their hand and tap call on one of the first three firms they see. That makes your profile category, your reviews and how fast intake picks up worth more than any page on your site.

Rankings mean little in personal injury unless you can see which case types turn into signed cases. A useful report splits calls and intake forms by case type and ties them back to the pages and searches that brought them in.

Big personal injury SEO agencies often lock firms into long contracts and pass the work to junior staff. With me, the person who writes your case type pages and builds your links is the person on the call, and you can leave with 30 days' notice.

Three steps, starting with the case types that pay the biggest fees.
First I map your case types by fee and volume: what you want more of, what you refer out and what your intake team can take on. Then I check where you rank for each one across your metro, who owns the map pack and which competitors are buying their way in, and turn it into a plan.
Next I fix what leaks cases: a profile in a weak category, calls that go to voicemail at night, thin case type pages and copy that overpromises. Each case type you care about gets a page that answers the questions an injured person has before picking up the phone.
After that the focus is authority: legal directories that match, links from local and relevant sites, and a steady flow of honest client reviews. Each month you see rankings, calls and signed cases by case type, so you know what search is bringing in.
A few simple rules, so you know exactly what to expect. They keep the work on results, not meetings.
A short intro call, then a second call where I walk you through your audit and plan. After that, things stay simple over email, and I reply within a day.
One clear report on the same date every month: your money keyword rankings, the calls they bring and the links I built.
Work starts once I have access to your Google Business Profile and main listings. It takes about 20 minutes.
If your site holds you back, I rebuild it once around the services you want to rank for. One review round, no endless redesigns.
A simple agreement, not a 12-month contract. Cancel anytime with 30 days notice, because it has to work for both of us.
Your website, content, profiles and accounts stay in your name. If we ever stop working together, you keep all of it.
If that sounds like how you like to work, send me your site. Book an Intro Call
Plans start at $2,000 a month, month to month. A small injury practice in a mid-sized city often fits Starter, while a firm going after car and truck accident cases in a big metro usually needs Growth or Scale to build links fast enough. See what each plan includes in my local SEO packages.

For businesses competing in busier local markets.

A single settled car accident case can pay for several months of SEO, and a truck or wrongful death case can pay for years. Enter your own numbers to see how many extra injury calls a month you would need to break even.
1. Your numbers
Your typical contingency fee on a settled case, plus any referrals that client sends you. At a one-third fee, a $36,000 settlement brings the firm $12,000.
Fill in both and your LTV updates above.
What you keep from each sale after the costs of delivering it (labor, materials, product or service costs). Leave at 100% to judge on revenue.
Out of 10 injury calls and intake forms, how many turn into signed cases? Plenty of injury callers have no viable claim, so this rate is usually lower than in other practice areas.
No one can promise a number, and tools undercount how injured people really search. Try a few values. On the intro call I will give you a realistic range for your case types and metro.

What personal injury lawyers ask before handing over their marketing.
Personal injury SEO usually costs more than SEO for other practice areas because the competition is so heavy. My plans start at $2,000 a month, month to month, and the right plan depends on your case types and the size of your metro.
Every injury case can be worth thousands in fees, so large firms and lead sellers spend heavily on ads, links and content. Paid clicks for injury searches often cost $50 or more, which is exactly why ranking organically and in the map pack is worth the effort.
In a smaller market, map pack movement can show within a few months. In a large metro, car accident terms usually take much longer, so I start with case types and nearby towns you can win sooner while the bigger terms build.
Yes. Car accidents, truck accidents, slip and fall, motorcycle accidents, wrongful death and any other case type you take can each get a page, written so you or your ethics counsel can approve it.
Then the rest of the site gets the same care. Each practice area needs its own pages and review strategy, which is how my SEO for law firms is set up, under the same bar rules you sign off on.
Not yet. My case studies are an electrician and a plumbing business I ranked from scratch. The map pack, link and tracking work is the same at its core, with more weight on authority links and intake tracking for injury firms.
