Real leads, not just referrals
We used to run on referrals. Now a real share of our consultations come from people who found us on Google, and they show up better prepared.

The Situation

Personal injury and disability is one of the most expensive, most competitive search categories in Toronto. People search under stress, scan a few firms for signs of competence, and decide fast. The firm's practice-area pages were not written the way injured people search, and location queries were going to competitors with deeper content and stronger authority.

What we did

We rebuilt the practice-area structure around how prospects phrase things in the real world: the type of injury, the kind of accident, the disability claim, the neighbourhood. Every page was set up for intent match, with the process explained plainly, FAQs answered, and the next step obvious. We wrote supporting content for the questions people ask before they are ready to call, like what to do after a car accident in Ontario or how long an LTD claim takes, and structured those answers so they surface in AI Overviews and assistant responses, where a lot of early legal research now starts. Authority came from credible legal directories and local press. We cleared the crawl issues holding pages back and tightened mobile performance.
