The Situation: Launching a New Legal Domain in a Highly Competitive Market
Philip Family Law started with a brand-new website, meaning they had zero domain authority in one of the most competitive legal markets in Texas. Being virtually invisible at position 69, they were missing out on high-intent clients searching for divorce, child custody, and family mediation services. They needed an aggressive, E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness) driven approach to bypass established legacy law firms in Houston.
