For Law Firms

Local SEO for Law Firms & Attorneys

Legal leads from Google Maps are among the most valuable in any industry. See exactly where your firm ranks for "lawyer near me" and practice-area keywords from 21 locations around your office — and discover which competitors are capturing your potential clients.

Who this is for

Law firm partners, solo attorneys, and legal marketing managers looking to improve Google Maps visibility and capture high-value local leads.

The Problem

Challenges You Face Today

1

Every lost ranking is a high-value lead going to a competitor

Legal clients acquired through local search are worth thousands in fees. If a potential client searching "personal injury lawyer near me" sees your competitor instead of you, that single lost impression could cost your firm $5,000 to $50,000 in case value.

2

Practice area keywords rank differently than general terms

Your firm might rank well for "lawyer near me" but poorly for "divorce attorney [city]" or "DUI lawyer near me." Each practice area keyword has its own competitive landscape, and without tracking them separately, you are flying blind.

3

The Google Maps 3-pack is winner-take-all

Most legal clients call one of the top 3 results on Google Maps. Ranking #4 versus #3 means the difference between getting the call and never being seen. You need precise geographic data to know where you make the cut and where you do not.

The Solution

How GBP Rank Tracker Helps

1

Track high-value practice area keywords

Scan for "personal injury lawyer [city]," "divorce attorney near me," "criminal defense lawyer [city]," or any practice area keyword. See your ranking from 21 geographic points and identify exactly where clients are finding your competitors.

2

Quantify the geographic reach of your firm

Legal clients search from all over your metro area. Our geo-grid shows you how far your ranking extends — maybe you dominate downtown but are invisible in the suburbs. This data drives decisions about where to focus your local SEO efforts.

3

Build a competitive intelligence dossier

Every scan reveals which law firms rank at each grid point. Discover if one firm dominates your practice area, identify firms that rank well with fewer reviews (suggesting strong SEO), and use this data to refine your strategy.

Real-World Example

How a personal injury firm expanded its Google Maps footprint

A personal injury law firm in Houston scanned for "personal injury lawyer near me" and found they ranked in the top 3 only within a 2-mile radius of their office. Outside that zone, three other firms dominated. The firm optimized their Google Business Profile for specific service areas, created Google Posts about cases in outlying areas, and built local citations mentioning specific Houston neighborhoods. After six months of focused effort, follow-up scans showed their top-3 ranking area had expanded from a 2-mile radius to nearly 5 miles, capturing significantly more of the metro area.
