For SEO Services & Marketing Agencies, the following are essential features, and you should therefore expect to see a check in every box in this section.
A free consultation or website audit can help you figure out if a particular marketing agency is a good fit with your law firm.
Some marketing agencies focus on representing law firms, while others apply their skills to multiple industries.
Marketing can be winner-take-most, especially when it comes to search. That can present a conflict if a marketing agency represents direct competitors. Many marketing agencies won’t represent direct competitors for this reason, although exclusivity may cost more.
If your web design company owns the assets it creates for your website, it can be difficult to transfer your website to another hosting provider or marketing agency.
Drafting effective website copy, including pages and blog posts, is a specialized skill, and it can help your firm launch a new law website much more quickly than if you intend to draft the copy yourself.
Professional video production can enhance your website and drive visitors to contact your firm.
Before you hire, you should look at other websites the company has designed. A public portfolio makes this easy.
Websites require technical upkeep, which isn’t always included in your fee.
On-page SEO involves optimizing the content and metadata of your law firm website pages. This is essential but fairly basic.
Building off-site links back to your website effectively probably requires a strategy and a fair amount of work. Linkbuilding tactics can include writing guest posts, outreach, and more.
Search engines use what they know about your location when they deliver search results, and not just in map apps. Local SEO aims to boost your results when location is relevant.
PPC advertising puts your search results on top of targeted search queries.
An optional certification that means Google has certified the vendor as an expert in Google Ads. It does not mean the vendor has any kind of special relationship with Google.
If you need a logo or other marketing assets, you might want a branding package for your law firm.
Your marketing agency can help you design and maintain a social media presence.
Email marketing can be highly effective, and a marketing agency can help your firm develop and execute an email strategy.
Offline marketing may include things like letterhead, newspaper ad design, etc.

Accel can easily set up live chat on your website. Receptionists can handle intake questions and general inquiries about your firm. Since they’re a service for attorneys, the receptionists are careful not to give any legal advice.

Good management, however, will not only minimize negative reviews, but also increase your SEO and build your firm’s reputation at the same time.
Accel Marketing Solutions offers reputation management services as well. These efforts encourage and highlight positive reviews from your clients. They make it easy for good clients to share their positive experiences. And they mitigate the impact of negative ratings by increasing overall reviews of your firm. Additionally, they highlight positive reviews on your social media and throughout your site. So the public sees your firm through the eyes of your best clients, not those rare unsatisfied cases.

I have been using Accel as for marketing and SEO for almost ten years. One of the best things about Accel is the personal service and responsiveness. Everything we ask them do is done so promptly, I couldn't do it faster myself. I also appreciate their guidance on making my firm standout. Elliot, David and the whole team are really an invaluable partner in digital space. I give them 5 stars.

“Great Company! Just What We Needed!”

Accel Marketing has been our marketing firm for the past year. They have totally revamped our firm website! Elliot, David and their entire team have been very responsive as we require constant updates to the website. They've effectively tied in all of our social media accounts as well. They also took the burden of updating and optimizing all of our search engine/online presence, including google so that our business is much more "visible" online. Our online presence has never been better. As a thriving law firm in a competitive market, we track every single phone call or contact for marketing purposes. Instead of a stale out of date site, our current site is now active and generating new clients almost daily. The number of calls we get because of our increased online presence is staggering. I would highly recommend this company!

“The best we have worked with”

Over the years we have worked with a variety of website design/SEO/ website maintenance firms. Of our experiences with various vendors, our best experience hands down has been with Accel. They are diligent in working with you, to maximize your investment with them, to improve your website as a valuable tool in promoting your practice, and to promptly respond when the invariable changes and alterations are needed on your site. Accel gets a well-deserved "A" from me in all respects, and my highest recommendation.
