The LA Law Firm SEO Checklist

Forty checks across the three systems that decide whether a Los Angeles firm gets found: the map listing, the pages, and the proof. Includes the Google Business Profile rules firms break most often, and what California’s advertising rules actually require of your site.

  • The four Google Business Profile rules that get firms suspended
  • Page architecture: one page per case type you want to sign
  • Reviews and past results without creating a bar problem
  • The Spanish layer, with data from our own 50-firm audit
  • A 40-point checklist you can score yourself against

The First Hour intake guide cover
Convert what you already have

The First Hour: intake speed for LA firms

The research says a lead contacted within an hour is far more likely to convert than one contacted a day later. This guide turns that into a working intake system: a service level agreement, a follow-up sequence, and a mystery-shop scorecard you can run on your own firm this week.

  • The seven places an LA firm actually loses the lead
  • A one-page intake SLA your front desk can follow
  • Auto-reply and first-text templates that get answered
  • A six-touch follow-up sequence that is not nagging
  • A 15-point scorecard to mystery shop your own firm

The Bilingual Gap study cover
Original research

The Bilingual Gap: 50 LA law firms audited

We audited 25 personal injury and 25 immigration firms in Los Angeles County on whether they actually serve Spanish-speaking clients online, or only claim to. The results are not what the industry assumes, and the method is published so you can rerun it on your competitors.

  • 76% of injury firms run a real Spanish site, against 48% of immigration firms
  • Why not one firm in 50 relies on a translate widget
  • The claim-to-delivery gap, and what it costs
  • The build order for a Spanish section that converts
  • Full method and limitations, published in the guide
