Service Business
The Challenge
- An outdated website that didn’t reflect the quality of the firm
- Weak visibility for non-brand searches, the people who need an attorney but don’t yet know the firm’s name
- A competitive Mesa legal market with established firms holding the rankings that matter
The Strategy
Website refresh built for search
We refreshed the website design so the firm’s online presence matched its professionalism, and structured it to support search performance from the ground up.
A 115+ keyword visibility plan
The search visibility strategy was built on more than 115 carefully selected keywords, weighted toward non-brand and transactional queries, phrases like Mesa estate planning attorney and related probate and estate law topics.
Competitive positioning research
Using competitive research, we mapped the local legal landscape in Mesa and identified exactly where Copper Wren Law could gain ground against competing firms.
Execution
The work ran across content, technical improvements, and website updates, supported by social engagement and select paid campaigns. We tracked everything in Semrush, the position-distribution and traffic charts on this page are the actual monitoring views from the campaign.
The Results
- Copper Wren Law achieved a 300% increase in organic traffic in Mesa, AZ.
- Visibility for non-brand queries increased 79.4%.
- The campaign improved keyword visibility across more than 147 transactional queries, including “Mesa estate planning attorney” and related probate and estate law searches.
- The firm strengthened its competitive position among Mesa law firms, with measurable gains in reach and awareness.
What This Means for Law Firms
- Non-brand visibility is where growth lives. People who already know your firm’s name were going to find you anyway. The 79.4% non-brand gain represents entirely new potential clients.
- Practice-area keywords beat generic ones. “Mesa estate planning attorney” brings a qualified inquiry; “lawyer” brings noise. Precision targeting is why 147+ transactional queries moved.
- Design and SEO are one project. A refreshed site that clients trust and Google can read outperforms either fix alone.
We’ve applied the same trust-first approach for a nonprofit legal organization, see the New Beginnings Law Center case study.
