How We Work

Our Criminal Defense Law Firm Marketing Process

One proven process, adjusted to how your clients hire.

Discovery & Audit

We learn your firm’s goals and audit how you show up on Google, Maps, AI search and reviews. Then we benchmark you against competing firms in your market.

Strategy & Plan

We match your growth goals to the audit data and build a custom plan around the channels that bring in clients. Vanity metrics don’t make the cut.

Website & Local Foundation

We fix the conversion and technical problems on your website, optimize your Google Business Profile, and clean up citations and listings.

Content & Visibility

We publish content that answers the questions prospective clients ask, written for both traditional search and AI-powered search.

Measure & Optimize

Each month we report on calls, consultations and signed clients, and we keep adjusting the work as results come in.
