SEO / Georgia law firms
Local SEO for law firms in Georgia.
When someone in Marietta or Macon searches for a lawyer, Google usually shows a map with three firms before the regular results. Local SEO is the work of getting your firm into those spots, and onto page one below them, for the cases you want.
The problem
Why good Georgia firms don't show up.
Google says it ranks local results mainly on three things: how well a listing matches the search, how far the business is from the person searching, and how well known it is, which includes reviews. You can't move your office. You can work on the other two. (Google's own explanation.)
A lot of Georgia firm sites make the first one hard. One "Personal Injury" page for every case type. No city in the page titles. A homepage that never says where the firm is, so Google has to guess.
The fix isn't a trick. It's a page for each case type and each city you really serve, a Google Business Profile that matches your site, a steady stream of reviews, and a site that works on a phone.

FAQ
Questions people ask.
How long does local SEO take to work?
It depends on your market and where you start. For Dante Law, the first ranking movement came in month 3, the first Google Maps appearances in months 4 and 5, and top-three rankings by month 6. Every market is different, so we won't promise those dates.
Do you work outside metro Atlanta?
Yes. We've tested firm sites from Savannah to Valdosta, and we work with firms anywhere in Georgia, and anywhere in the US.
Do you handle our Google Business Profile?
Yes. Setting up and tuning your profile is part of local SEO, along with a plan for reviews and the pages your listing links to.
Do you follow the State Bar of Georgia's advertising rules?
Anything we write for your firm has to. We flag anything that might cross the State Bar of Georgia's advertising rules, and you or your bar counsel make the final call. We don't guess at them.
Is it month to month?
Yes. SEO is $1,500, $3,500, or $7,500 a month, with no long contract. You can change plans or pause.
Can we start with just the free review?
Yes. It shows where you show up on Google and Google Maps for your main search, who's above you, and the 3 to 5 fixes that matter most.
