Be the Attorney Defendants Find on Social

Defendants search social platforms for legal advice. We make sure they find you.

Overview

Defendants Don't Just Google. They Scroll, Search, and Ask.

When someone gets arrested, they don't just search Google. They go everywhere.

They watch YouTube videos about what happens after a DUI arrest. They scroll TikTok for lawyers explaining their rights. They search Reddit threads asking “has anyone used a criminal defense attorney in [city]?” They check LinkedIn to see if the lawyer they found is legit.

Social platforms are search engines. Defendants type questions into YouTube, Reddit, and TikTok the same way they type into Google. If you're not there, your competitors are answering those questions instead.

Organic social isn't about posting for the sake of posting. It's about showing up where defendants are already searching for answers and being the attorney who provides them.

We build your presence across the platforms that matter and create content that gets found when defendants need help.

FAQs

Social SEO Questions from Defense Attorneys

What criminal defense firms ask us about social search optimization.

Do you create the social content for us?

We provide content strategy, scripting, and optimization guidance. Depending on your engagement level, we can manage full content production or work with your team to optimize content you create. The most effective approach usually involves the attorney on camera with our strategic direction.

How is Social SEO different from social media marketing?

Traditional social media marketing focuses on followers, engagement, and viral content. Social SEO focuses on search visibility within these platforms. The goal is not to go viral but to show up when defendants search for legal help. Different strategy, different metrics.

What kind of content works for Social SEO?

Content that answers specific questions defendants ask: What happens after a DUI arrest, Can charges be dropped, What to say to police. Short-form video performs well on TikTok and Instagram. Longer explainers work on YouTube. The content must be genuinely helpful and optimized for each platform's search algorithm.

Do criminal defense clients really search on TikTok?

Yes, particularly younger defendants. Research shows that Gen Z increasingly uses TikTok and Instagram as their primary search tools, even for serious topics like legal help. Attorneys who create helpful content optimized for social search capture these potential clients before competitors.

What is Social SEO?

Social SEO is optimizing your content to be discovered through search on social platforms like TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn.
