How we work

Your unfair advantage in a crowded legal market

Local expertise + repeatable execution

We study your top SERP competitors in your specific market, reverse engineer what Google rewards there, then rebuild your presence so it outranks theirs and converts better. We started in Chicago, one of the most competitive legal markets in the country, and apply the same playbook everywhere we work now.

Practice-specific frameworks

Each template is tuned for the way PI, criminal defense, and business law prospects evaluate counsel.

Intake + tech alignment

We connect chat, phone, and CRM flows so nothing slips between marketing and your staff.

Compliance ready

Content is reviewed for ISBA advertising rules, ADA accessibility, and privacy policies.

60-minute deep dive + audit of analytics, GBP, SERPs, and intake scripts. We identify the biggest leaks.

Step 2: Offer Roadmap

We translate findings into a 90-day roadmap covering site rebuild needs, content gaps, and link targets.

Step 3: Execution Pods

Designers, writers, and SEO strategists ship in sprints with weekly Loom updates and shared dashboards.

FAQs

Frequently asked

Straight answers before we ever hop on a call.

How much does law firm SEO cost?

CaseOrbit retainers start at $2,500/month for solo attorneys and range to $5,500+/month for firms pursuing aggressive market dominance, all on a 6-month minimum with no hidden fees. Every engagement starts with a diagnostic so you are scoped to what your firm actually needs, not upsold into a tier that does not fit your market.

How fast will I see results from law firm SEO?

Most firms see map pack improvements and higher contact rates within 45 days. Compounding organic rankings follow around the 90-day mark. Local legal SEO tends to move faster than broad national campaigns because the competition is geographically bounded: you are not competing with every firm in the country, just the ones in your metro.

What makes CaseOrbit different from other law firm SEO agencies?

CaseOrbit is built exclusively for law firms and focused on one outcome: qualified intake. Unlike generalist agencies, we combine website design, local SEO, and AI-assisted intake ops into a single system, with keyword research, schema, and GBP strategy tuned to each market we work in, not a generic template.

Do you only work with Chicago firms?

Chicago is home base and where the system was built, but we work with law firms nationwide. See our location pages for market-specific details, or reach out if your state isn't listed yet.

Can you work with our existing marketing team?

Yes. We often plug into in-house teams as the technical SEO and conversion partner. We share keyword maps, content calendars, and ranking reports so your team always knows what we are doing and why.

Are you compliant with ISBA advertising rules?

Every deliverable is reviewed for required disclaimers, testimonial guidelines, and ADA accessibility standards. We document approvals for your records and flag anything that needs attorney sign-off before it goes live.
