6 answers before you claim your audit
What does SEO for family lawyers in Canada include?
We study your firm's market, fix site issues, draft family law pages for a lawyer to review and clarify consultation paths. We link this work to Google Ads, better conversion and AI-search visibility.
How soon will SEO bring results?
Fixes and pages can ship in hours or days. Search growth takes longer, varying by market, competition and website. We don't guarantee rankings.
Who checks content for legal accuracy?
We prepare the content for your lawyer's review. Your firm checks the legal accuracy before approved material goes live.
Will you also work with my direct competitors?
No. We take one major client per niche and region, never serving your direct competitors.
Where can I track your team's completed work?
Your Glass Box Portal stays live 24/7. Track rankings, leads, spending and every change there.
What does the free audit cover?
We look at your search presence, competitors and consultation path, then identify opportunities for your firm.
