Search Everywhere Optimization for Criminal Defense Firms
DefenseJoy helps defense firms get found, get trusted, and hired.
Own the Map Pack in Every City You Serve
Defendants search locally. We get you found in every city and jurisdiction that matters.
Defendants Search by City. You Need to Show Up in All of Them.
When someone gets arrested, they search for a lawyer nearby. Not just in your city, but in every city and jurisdiction where they might face charges.
“Criminal defense attorney Dallas.” “DUI lawyer Plano.” “Drug possession attorney Collin County.” Defendants search by city, by suburb, and by courthouse jurisdiction.
If you only show up for one location, you're invisible everywhere else. Your competitors are capturing cases in cities you could easily serve.
Local SEO means showing up in the map pack and local results for every city and jurisdiction in your service area. It means building location pages that reference local landmarks, courthouses, and neighborhoods. It means having a Google Business Profile that Google trusts enough to rank.
We map every city and jurisdiction defendants search in, then build the local presence to capture them all.
