What We Do
SEO Services for estate planning lawyers
Estate planning firms need an online presence that communicates trust and professionalism. Our SEO services highlight your expertise in wills, trusts, and elder law through content and local search optimization. We aim to connect you with individuals and families seeking estate planning guidance.
Keyword Research
Effective estate planning visibility starts with understanding how aging adults search for legacy planning information. Our keyword analysis uncovers high-value terms and questions, enabling targeted content and technical enhancements to boost rankings and attract both researchers and ready-to-act clients.
Competitor Intelligence
Standing out in a competitive legal field requires understanding how other estate planning firms attract online attention. Our competitor research identifies ranking gaps, evaluates search visibility, and pinpoints backlink and keyword strategies to craft targeted campaigns. Ongoing analysis ensures your firm stays ahead.
Local SEO
Urgent estate planning searches often happen on mobile, focusing on local lawyers. We target city-specific terms like “estate attorney” or “elder law lawyer,” leveraging geo-optimized pages, schema markup, GMB profiles, and micro-citations to improve visibility, attract leads, and drive client growth. 
AI Content
Creating estate planning content requires extensive writing many firms can’t maintain. Our hybrid approach combines AI-generated drafts with expert oversight, producing SEO-optimized posts, FAQs, and bios tailored to your firm. This ensures nuanced, scalable content that highlights your expertise and addresses key estate planning queries.
Link Building
The quantity and quality of backlinks to your firm’s pages are key trust signals for search visibility. We secure links from reputable legal and financial sites, focusing on relevance and diversity. This strategic outreach builds authority, enhancing rankings and establishing your firm as a trusted estate planning resource over time.
Technical SEO
Even excellent content can falter if site infrastructure lags. Our audits uncover issues like slow loading, broken links, and backend flaws. We optimize architecture, URLs, speed, and server setup to enhance user experience and search visibility, fostering better performance, higher conversions, and stronger organic growth.
On-Page SEO
Every page offers potential to target search terms and queries effectively. Our on-page SEO optimizes each with semantic keywords, headers, internal links, media, schema markup, and site search improvements. This tailored approach aligns with user intent, boosting rankings, improving indexing, and driving conversions while showcasing your expertise.
Schema Markup
Schema markup enhances search result displays by showcasing attorney credentials, practice areas, education, and awards. Proper implementation highlights your estate planning team’s expertise, improving visibility on legal platforms.

Starting with estate planning SEO services
We find most estate planning practices have questions before moving forward with search engine optimization and online marketing. Below we have provided answers to some of the most common SEO-related FAQs asked by estate planners and elder law attorneys.
For estate planning firms like yours, our comprehensive SEO campaigns that include technical optimizations, content creation, local and national keyword targeting, etc. typically start around $3,500 per month. However, by collaborating on priorities for your firm and being transparent about involved efforts, we structure flexible solutions fitting your budget. There are always options to phase in approaches too.
According to aggregated legal marketing data and our own client reports, most small to mid-sized estate planning practices invest between $2,500 – $5,000 per month into professional search engine optimization services once fully implementing campaigns. Those numbers can scale depending on firm size and niche focus being targeted.
Solo estate planners and boutique elder law firms may have different budgets when first engaging SEO as well. But for established multi-attorney estate planning practices aiming to grow through search, $5,000 – $7,500 monthly is an average range based on the audience targeting and content production needed to rank.
SEO, or search engine optimization, refers to the strategies and tactics used to help improve visibility and rankings for estate planning firms in organic search results. When adults search issues like wills, trusts, asset protection, and elder care planning, SEO makes it likely your firm appears prominently.
Some effective SEO approaches for estate planning practices include:
- Optimizing site pages around commonly searched estate planning terms and questions using targeted keywords.
- Improving technical elements like site speed to enable proper crawling and indexing of pages.
- Building links from reputable legal and financial planning sites to raise authority.
- Targeting local estate planning searches by city with metro-aware landing pages.
- Creating relevant blogs and videos to drive more site traffic.
- Regularly monitoring analytics to refine efforts further.
Ranking higher for valuable estate planning queries can exponentially increase website visits and scheduled consultation requests. Essentially, legal SEO surfaces your firm to more clients exactly when they are researching sensitive planning needs online. It bridges technology with estate planning marketing to attract more clients.
Absolutely, SEO generates immense value for estate planning practices when executed methodically long-term. We have over a decade of case results proving SEO successfully expands various legal verticals.
Surveys clearly show adults over 50 heavily rely on search to research estate planning questions, learn about legal services, and find firms to retain. Over 70% use Google to explore topics like wills, trusts, and elder care planning. SEO enables your estate planning firm to rank prominently for related terms.
And placing higher in organic search results translates directly into more website traffic, improved reputation, and most importantly – more viable new client inquiries contacting your firm at the pivotal times they need assistance.
Paying for expert SEO services delivers immense value for estate planning firms aiming to expand their client portfolio. While basic on-page SEO can be handled internally, partnering with seasoned legal marketing specialists provides major advantages.
Leading SEO agencies stay updated on Google’s intricate algorithm changes, platform updates, latest tactics and possess sophisticated research and results tracking abilities most firms lack. They optimize hundreds of estate planning sites monthly, leveraging extensive data. Being an exceptional estate planner doesn’t instantly make one a digital marketing pro.
Our clients in the legal industry amplify annual revenue significantly after 6 months by unlocking new client acquisition channels through search dominance. The substantial ROI easily justifies costs. And lawyers can remain focused entirely on clients while experts elevate visibility.
