Case Study

Visibility and Clients

KEY27 SEO consultant Oakville

The Challenge

A well-established law firm came to KEY27 with strong expertise and many years of experience.

However, they faced several challenges:

  1. They needed more new clients.

  2. They wanted more returning clients.

  3. Their expertise was not being promoted properly.

  4. Their niche legal services were not getting the exposure they deserved.

  5. Even branded searches were weak—the firm showed up only in the second half of the first page of Google results.

The firm knew they provided valuable services, but they weren’t being found online. That’s where KEY27 stepped in.

 

The Results (After 9 Months)

  1. 833% increase in organic impressions – far more people discovered the firm in search results.

  2. 200% increase in organic traffic – the website attracted twice as many organic visitors.

  3. Top rankings for branded searches – the firm now (Sept 2025) ranks in positions 1 and 3.

  4. Top 5 rankings for niche services – their important niche legal services now appear where clients are looking.

What Should a Toronto Law Firm Look for in a Digital Marketing Agency?

Choosing a marketing agency for a law firm should involve more than comparing promises, packages or claims about being the “best.”

Law firms should look for evidence that an agency understands how online visibility connects to actual business development.

Important factors to evaluate include:

  • Documented results: Can the agency show measurable improvements from real client work?
  • Relevant search experience: Does the agency understand how people search for specialized professional services?
  • SEO beyond rankings: Can it connect rankings and visibility with qualified website traffic and potential clients?
  • Ability to promote niche services: Can the strategy improve visibility for specific practice areas rather than only the firm’s name?
  • Measurement: Can the agency clearly explain what changed and how performance is being evaluated?
  • Long-term strategy: Is the work focused on building sustainable visibility and authority rather than chasing short-term ranking tactics?
  • Communication: Can the agency explain recommendations in business terms rather than hiding behind technical jargon?

The results in this case study provide one example of how that type of approach can work.

Within nine months, the law firm increased organic search impressions by 833%, increased organic traffic by 200%, improved branded search visibility and reached top-five positions for important niche services.

Those results are more useful when evaluating an agency than broad claims about being the “best law firm marketing company.”

The question should ultimately be:

Can the agency demonstrate a practical strategy, measurable progress and experience connecting online visibility with the law firm’s business goals?
