Search Engine Optimization for Attorneys vs. Pay Per Click for Lawyers - what is more effective?

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) vs. Pay Per Click (PPC) for Law Firms

The Pay-Per-Click Costs are Subject to Increasing Price Inflation

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) for Attorneys and Law Firms

is quickly becoming the most competitive  arena in the United States and overseas.
The cost-per-click (CPC) or pay-per-click (PPC) rates for search engine marketing “sponsored ads” for law-related keywords like “attorney” and “lawyer” has quintupled (500% increase) from an average of $2 per click in 2007 to over $10 on-average, and rising.

The concerns of “click-fraud” and expected price inflation of PPC costs make “organic SEO” rankings the most cost effective way to establish an internet presence for your Law Firm.  The costs per click will continue to rise as competition moves from fading television and print advertising into the increasing dominant internet advertising.  This trend will be accelerated as the big Law Firms continue to splinter into more specialized competing Lawyers and law Firms.

Limited Window of Opportunity to Establish Your Web Presence

The is a critical ‘window of time’ wherein the most savvy Attorneys, Lawyers, Solicitors and the Law Firms they work for will transition to the internet and utilize skilled SEO for Attorneys to secure top rankings and the lucrative revenue shares that flow to top ranking Law FirmsSearch engine optimized rankings are often referred to as “organic rankings” because they are acquired through skilled and  proprietary SEO techniques such as the Cognitive Semantic Structuring™ SEO methodology rather than paying for every click at continually inflating rates.  Once a Law Firm has secured top rankings on the search engine result pages (SERPs), clicks to their Law Firms’ website naturally follow.  The top ranked Law Firms receive exponentially higher click-rates than lower ranked Law Firms. Moreover, this cycle becomes perpetual with recorded click-history reinforcing the ranking position and with continued “tweaking” of the Law Firms website to stay compliant with Google’s continued change in their search algorithm, make it that much harder  to ‘unseat’ the websites of these high-ranking Law Firms.
