Case Study:
How SnowdriftCO, Inc. Boosted Phone Call Inquiries by 131% for a Boutique Law Firm with Cutting-Edge SEO Strategies
Client Overview
A boutique personal injury law firm specializing in cases related to car accidents, truck accidents, and other motor vehicle accidents (MVA), as well as premises liability and slip-and-fall cases. These cases are all handled on a contingency-based fee structure. Despite having a stellar reputation, the firm struggled to attract new clients through online channels. Their primary source of leads came from word-of-mouth referrals, but they knew an optimized online presence could significantly boost their client intake. The main way a client contacts the firm is through a phone call, making local SEO improvements critical to driving business growth.
Challenges
Before partnering with SnowdriftCO, the firm faced several hurdles. The firm had been advertising other practice areas for years, but upon engaging with SnowdriftCO, they made the strategic decision to focus exclusively on personal injury, car accident, trucking, MVA, and premises liability cases. As a result, SnowdriftCO had to carefully navigate SEO adjustments to shift the firm's online presence and ensure their digital marketing efforts aligned with the new focus. Before partnering with SnowdriftCO, the firm faced several hurdles:
1. Limited Online Visibility – The firm’s website lacked proper search engine optimization (SEO), making it difficult to rank for relevant keywords in local search results.
2. Unclaimed and Duplicate Google Business Profiles (GBP) – The firm had two separate GBP accounts, each with its own set of reviews, leading to inconsistencies and missed opportunities. SnowdriftCO merged the two profiles, ensuring all reviews were retained and consolidating the firm's online presence.
3. Inconsistent NAP (Name, Address, Phone Number) Information – The firm’s contact details varied across different online directories, leading to confusion for both search engines and potential clients. Additionally, just prior to SnowdriftCO taking over the account, the firm's name, address, and phone number were all changed in their GBP, further impacting performance and necessitating a thorough update across all platforms.
4. Few Online Reviews – Like many businesses, the firm faced challenges in capturing as many online reviews as some of its competitors. Without strong social proof, prospective clients lacked confidence in choosing the firm.
