These are definitely good questions to keep in mind.

By far the biggest question on prospects’ minds is price. The best SEO companies know how to price and structure engagements so that the investment will produce a positive overall return for the client.

That said, since most law firms and solo attorneys are seeking local clients, I often advise potential clients to consider doing it themselves – because local SEO is actually pretty straight forward.

Here’s a video I created that explains the local SEO process:

Seth - I've had success with both regions, but I think you need to exercise caution. Certainly, the firm has to 100% commit to ethical tactics; and definitely get proof of their work. Clayton Wood at 365Outsource has always done a great job for me. I'd be happy to make an introduction on LinkedIn.

Do you have an opinion Brian on the offshoring approach when it comes to SEO? Obviously a broad question – but with services perhaps 50% cheaper abroad (but well documented problems with English language skills) I’m wrestling with using a Phillipines or Indian-based firm. Any thoughts/experience?

Good information. With so many people offering top placement in the search engines it is hard to know who to trust. Checking a vendor’s results in a legal vertical would be a good way to make sure certain of hiring someone that understands law firms.

All excellent questions! These can create a critical distinction between dollars spent and dollars invested into a great return. Thanks Brian.
