The Challenge

Why they came to us.

A 12-city legal firm with strong individual practice expertise but weak local SEO and AEO foundations. Local pack invisible, PAA absent, schema broken.

  • !
    Local pack invisible - not in top-3 for any of 12 cities on jurisdiction-specific queries.
  • !
    Zero PAA appearances - competitors owning every legal-question SERP feature.
  • !
    Schema gaps - LegalService, FAQPage, Attorney schema missing or broken.
  • !
    GMB neglected - profiles outdated, low review velocity, missing categories.
