The Law Firm Growth Professor Podcast

In this episode of The Law Firm Growth Professor , I break down one of the most misunderstood — and most misused — elements of SEO: keywords. Many law firms focus so heavily on keyword placement and volume that they lose sight of the most important rule of all — your content has to read naturally. If it doesn’t make sense to a real person, no amount of keyword optimization will save it. I walk thr...

In this episode of The Law Firm Growth Professor , I tackle one of the most common — and most misunderstood — questions law firms face when launching or refining their SEO strategy: Where should you actually be spending your marketing budget? There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but there is a smarter way to think about it. I break down the 60-40 framework for balancing long-term foundational SEO...

In this episode of The Law Firm Growth Professor, I break down how the 80-20 rule applies to your law firm’s SEO — and why most firms are focusing their time, money, and effort in the wrong places.

But if you’re treating every page, every signal, and every platform equally, you’re diluting you...

In this episode of The Law Firm Growth Professor, I break down two new terms that are suddenly everywhere in legal marketing conversations: AEO and GEO.

In this episode of The Law Firm Growth Professor, I tackle a concern that keeps many attorneys up at night: Why are my rankings suddenly changing — and should I panic? Google no longer rolls out a few large algorithm updates each year. Instead, it deploys smaller updates daily, creating constant movement in search rankings. That means your number five position today could be number seven tomorrow...

In this episode of The Law Firm Growth Professor, I break down the five SEO mistakes your law firm simply cannot afford to make. SEO is forgiving in many ways. You can make small missteps and recover.

In this episode of The Law Firm Growth Professor, I answer one of the most frustrating questions attorneys ask after investing in SEO: Is this thing actually working? SEO doesn’t deliver overnight results, and anyone who promises instant ROI is using tactics that can ultimately damage your firm.

In this episode of The Law Firm Growth Professor podcast, I tackle a question that catches many attorneys off guard once their marketing starts working: What happens after the phones start ringing?

If your culture, systems, and c...

In this episode of The Law Firm Growth Professor podcast, I address a question more attorneys are asking as AI reshapes search: Do keywords still matter? The short answer—yes.

Chasing the biggest, most competitive terms may f...

In this episode of The Law Firm Growth Professor podcast, I tackle one of the most common — and most misunderstood — questions attorneys ask about SEO: How do you know if you’re doing it right from the very beginning? The truth is, SEO isn’t a one-size-fits-all formula. What works for a brand-new firm starting from zero looks very different from what works for an established practice that already...

In this episode of The Law Firm Growth Professor podcast, I flip the usual question on its head: What happens if you don’t invest in SEO? The shortanswer—nothing changes. You stay exactly where you are. If you’re happy with your current revenue and have no plans to grow, that’s fine. But if you want to scale your firm, attract higher-value clients, and gain the freedom to choose the cases you love...

Most law firms chase quick hacks and short-term SEO tricks, but EEAT is the real foundation of lasting success on Google and it can’t be bought, gamed, or faked. I explain why EEAT matters more than almost any other metric, how Google meas...
