Objective
The primary goal for this Toronto-based real estate law firm was to drive more traffic from Google, enhance site visibility, and attract potential clients looking for legal expertise in real estate transactions. Given the competitiveness of Toronto’s real estate market, a tailored SEO strategy was essential to distinguish the firm’s services and reach an engaged audience.
Challenges
The real estate law sector in Toronto is highly competitive, requiring a focused strategy to stand out among specialized law firms and larger real estate platforms. This presented a need to develop a refined approach that would establish visibility and credibility in a crowded niche.
Our Approach
To help the firm meet its objectives, we implemented a comprehensive SEO strategy with the following components:
Backlink Building: We strengthened the website’s authority by acquiring high-quality backlinks from reputable sources in the legal and real estate sectors. This strategy improved the site’s credibility, boosting its visibility in search results.
Content Expansion: We developed and published regular blog posts and resources covering key topics related to real estate law. This content not only improved visibility for a broader range of search terms but also offered valuable information to potential clients, promoting deeper engagement with the website.
On-Page SEO: We performed strategic on-page optimization, aligning content, headers, and metadata with high-intent keywords specific to real estate law. This ensured that search engines recognized the site’s relevance to users’ queries.
Technical SEO: A thorough technical SEO audit helped identify and resolve any performance issues, particularly in areas like page load speed, mobile usability, and site structure. This improved overall user experience and optimized the site for better search engine ranking.
Results
Over the past six months, this approach yielded positive results:
Increased Clicks: The total clicks rose to 12.4K, up from 11.4K in the previous six-month period, indicating a steady increase in visitor engagement.
Higher Impressions: Impressions reached 439K, down slightly from 457K in the previous period. However, the quality of impressions improved, showing a more targeted approach to audience reach.
