Rank Where Defendants Search for Criminal Defense

Rank on Google, Bing, and Yahoo for the searches defendants make when they need a criminal defense attorney.

Overview

Google Is Still Where Most Defendants Start

When someone gets arrested, their first instinct is to Google it.

“Criminal defense attorney near me.” “DUI lawyer [city].” “What happens if you get caught with drugs.” “Best defense attorney for assault charges.”

These searches happen thousands of times a day in your city. The firms ranking on page one get the calls. Everyone else gets nothing.

SEO for criminal defense isn't about tricks or shortcuts. It's about building a website that Google trusts enough to rank for the searches that matter. That means technical foundations, content that matches what defendants actually search, and authority signals that prove you're the real deal.

We've done this exclusively for criminal defense firms. We know which keywords convert, which content structures rank, and how to outposition competitors who got there first.

FAQs

SEO Questions from Defense Attorneys

What criminal defense firms ask us about search engine optimization.

How is your SEO different from other agencies?

We focus on SEO for criminal defense firms, which means we deeply understand defendant search behavior. We focus on leads and revenue, not just rankings. And you work directly with our strategist, not a junior account manager learning on your account.

Do you guarantee first page rankings?

No legitimate SEO provider can guarantee specific rankings because Google controls the algorithm. What we do guarantee is a data-driven strategy, consistent execution, transparent reporting, and a focus on the metrics that matter: qualified leads, not just rankings.

What keywords do you target for criminal defense firms?

We target keywords based on search volume, competition, and intent. This typically includes practice area terms like DUI lawyer and drug charges attorney, location-modified terms, question-based searches defendants ask, and long-tail variations. The specific keyword strategy comes from our Search Market Analysis.

How long does SEO take to work?

SEO is a long-term investment. Most firms see meaningful ranking improvements within 3 to 6 months, with results compounding over time. The exact timeline depends on your current site authority, competition in your market, and how aggressively we can build content and links.

What does your SEO service include?

Our SEO service includes technical optimization to ensure your site performs well, content strategy and creation to target valuable search terms, on-page optimization for every key page, link building to increase authority, and ongoing monitoring and adjustment.
