How much does SEO cost for a family law firm in 2026?

Real, published numbers. No industry averages, no ranges that stretch from cheap to absurd. Here is what we charge, what it covers, and what sits outside the fee.

TLDR

The short answer

At Up And Social, family law SEO and marketing programs cost $1,750, $2,750 or $4,750 per month, plus a one-time $1,497 activation fee. Paid Ads budget is separate and paid directly to the ad platforms: it is not part of Activate, and we recommend $2,500 to $5,000 per month on Elevate and $5,000 to $12,000+ per month on Dominate.

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 divorce lawyer SEO priced differently?

No. Divorce is a family law practice area, and divorce-focused firms use the same three published programs. The work is tuned to divorce searches, but the price is not. Read more about divorce lawyer marketing.

Is ad spend included in the monthly fee?

No. Paid Ads budget is separate from the agency fee and is paid directly to the ad platforms. The monthly fee covers strategy, management, testing, reporting, and optimization.

Do you guarantee rankings or leads?

No. No ethical agency can guarantee how Google, an answer engine, or a prospective client will behave. We build strategic, documented, measured work around the factors your firm can control.
