What the monthly fee covers

The fee pays for ongoing work, reporting, and optimization. At each level, that means:

  • Activate: a local search, competitor, review, and AI visibility baseline; Google Business Profile optimization, technical SEO monitoring and citation accuracy; one priority service or location page each month; a conversion-path and tracking review; a monthly report and 30-minute strategy call.
  • Elevate: everything a growing firm needs to pair search with demand: two content assets a month, competitor tracking, structured data and internal linking, paid ads management with up to two campaign types, monthly testing and lead-quality review, plus a monthly report and 45-minute call.
  • Dominate: the full system run as one program: four content assets a month, a quarterly content and local-market plan, an educational content hub, expanded paid ads plus another channel or retargeting, weekly lead-quality checks, and a monthly 60-minute strategy session with a quarterly market review.

What is quoted separately

Every program includes one office location. Anything outside the plan is quoted before work starts: paid-media spend, additional locations, full website redesigns, custom development, photography, video, hosting, emergency repairs, new practice areas, legal review, state bar filings, and work outside scope.

Is probate or trust SEO priced differently?

No. Wills, trusts, probate and elder law work all use the same three programs. The level you choose depends on your firm's stage and intake capacity, not on the practice area.

How to choose a level

Start with the Visibility Report. We review your search, AI visibility, reviews, website, content and paid ads, then tell you plainly which level makes sense and what should wait.
