Industry
You're competing in the most expensive paid search vertical in legal. Your intake line needs to ring day and night, and every dollar you spend on traffic has to work. We build the websites, SEO programs, and PPC campaigns that make that happen, with the bar compliance and intake architecture a personal injury practice actually needs.
Services
The full set of services we build for personal injury law firms. Every engagement starts with a conversation about what your intake pipeline actually needs.
Most PI leads arrive on a phone minutes after an accident. We build WordPress sites with fast mobile load times, practice area pages for every sub-vertical you handle, and intake forms that connect directly to Clio, Filevine, or SmartAdvocate.
Roughly 48,000 PI firms compete for page-one real estate against aggregators like Avvo and FindLaw. We build practice-area depth and local authority that actually ranks, and we structure content for AI search too.
Top personal injury keywords run $150-$300+ per click in competitive markets. We build campaigns by case type with tight negative keyword lists and landing pages built for intake, not just clicks. Management fees stay separate from ad spend.
Your site is a 24/7 intake channel. We handle plugin updates, daily backups, security hardening, and uptime monitoring so a broken form never quietly costs you a case.
Law firm sites are frequent ADA litigation targets. Every site we build meets WCAG 2.1 AA from day one, and we can audit and remediate existing sites too.

Overview
Personal injury is the most competitive paid search vertical in legal, and possibly on Google Ads overall.
Click costs regularly hit $150 to $300 or more in major markets. A single week of mismanaged bidding can cost more than a month of a well-run retainer.
If your site isn't converting that traffic into intake, you're paying premium prices for visitors who click back and call the next firm.
The average paid search conversion rate for personal injury sits at 5.45%, the lowest of any legal vertical. That gap between an average site and a well-structured one can mean dozens of extra case inquiries a month on the same ad budget.
For PI firms, 66% of clients expect a reply within one day, and most searches happen on a phone right after an accident. A slow site or a buried contact form doesn't just lose traffic. It hands a signed case to whichever firm answers first.

Who we serve
Why us
You talk to a senior practitioner from day one, not a junior account coordinator routing messages. That matters especially in a vertical where the wrong move in ad copy or on-page content can create a bar compliance problem.
Every project runs through a structured process and closes with a 75+ point quality audit before launch. No personal injury firm site ships without it, including intake form testing and disclaimer placement checks.
After launch, you get ongoing care plans and real support whenever you need us. The same team that built your law firm site is still the team answering your tickets a year later.
We don't split attention across five platforms. Depth beats breadth, and we've seen nearly every scenario a WordPress site can throw at us, from complex intake integrations to high-traffic PI sites under real load.
Why us
Bar advertising rules shape every page we write and every ad we build. Past results language, outcome guarantees, and specialization claims are handled correctly from the start, not bolted on after review.
Traffic without intake architecture is wasted spend. Every site we build is designed to convert a visitor who arrived under stress, on a phone, looking for help right now. Fast load times, click-to-call, and forms that actually work.
Clio, Filevine, SmartAdvocate, and LawPay are part of how we design your site's intake and operational layer, not things we figure out after the fact.
That depth of operational experience means faster diagnosis, faster fixes, and a team that has seen what breaks on law firm sites under real-world conditions.

Good to know
Yes. We work with solo practitioners, boutique injury firms, and regional multi-attorney practices. The specific services and scope differ by firm size, but the standards we hold our work to don't. Whether you're a single-attorney auto accident practice or a firm handling mass torts across multiple states, we scope the engagement to fit what you actually need.
We do. We don't practice law or provide legal ethics advice, but we build every page with bar advertising requirements in mind. That means correct past-results disclaimers, no outcome guarantee language, no misleading superlative claims, and ad copy reviewed for compliance before it goes live. If your state bar has specific rules that affect your site or ads, we factor those in from the start.
Personal injury is one of the most competitive SEO verticals in any industry, not just law. In a major metro market, meaningful organic movement on competitive keywords can take 6-12 months of consistent work. Local SEO and long-tail practice area pages often show progress faster. We'll be direct with you about timelines in your specific market before you start spending.
Yes, and we recommend it. A single "personal injury" page doesn't capture the search volume and intent behind "truck accident lawyer," "medical malpractice attorney," or "traumatic brain injury lawyer." We build dedicated pages for each practice area, each injury type, and often each geographic market your firm serves.
Yes. We design intake forms and contact flows to connect with Clio, Filevine, SmartAdvocate, and other case management platforms commonly used by PI firms. The goal is to make sure every lead that comes through your site lands in your system immediately, not hours later.
We build sites that support 24/7 intake capture through contact forms, live chat integrations, and after-hours intake tools. Most PI cases start with someone who just had an accident, is on their phone, and needs to reach someone now. Your site needs to be ready for that at any hour.
Yes. Spanish-language pages and bilingual site architecture are something we build for PI firms that serve Spanish-speaking communities. We scope those builds as part of the initial project or as a phase-two addition to an existing site.
