How LinkGraph catalyzed SERP rankings in a competitive law industry

The Law Offices of Daniel Kim is an award-winning personal injury law firm with 14 offices located throughout Southern California. Law Offices of Daniel Kim exclusively represents victims of motor vehicle accidents and is experienced at getting maximum compensation and settlements for clients.

The Problem

Personal injury law is a very competitive space for both organic rankings and paid search ads. With personal injury firms willing to pay anywhere from $50-$500 per-click, and with over 46% of clicks going to the top three paid ads, driving traffic from organic rankings can be extremely difficult in saturated local markets like Orange County.

Due to the high price of competitive ad auctions in the personal injury space, paid media was not an economical option. Before the Law Offices of Daniel Kim teamed up with LinkGraph, their lack of online visibility also hindered them from earning any qualified traffic through local search. The Law Offices of Daniel Kim needed to boost their local SEO efforts if they wanted to see any improvements to their website traffic.

LinkGraph knew that focusing on local citations and geo-targeted link building would improve their visibility and help them rank higher than competitors in Southern California-based searches. LinkGraph also recognized limitations with the Law Offices of Daniel Kim’s website design, and knew that a more conversion-focused UI/UX could mean drastic improvements in sitewide conversions.

The LinkGraph Solution

High-Authority & Geo-targeted Link Building

LinkGraph launched a full-scale link building and digital PR campaign with geographic specific goals. Our outreach team acquired 147 backlinks in the personal injury and legal space. In addition to focusing on acquiring high-quality backlinks with DA 50+, LinkGraph secured links with geographic anchor texts from California-based publications like University of Southern California and CSU Fresno. These high-quality links improved Law Offices of Daniel Kim’s overall keyword rankings and performance in local, Southern California-based searches. These backlinks alone helped improve Law Offices of Daniel Kim’s site authority and secured page 1 rankings for over 150+ high-value keywords in their local search market.

Content Strategy & On-Page Optimization

LinkGraph’s editorial team created supplemental blog content to help improve the site’s topical authority and depth in the eyes of users and search engines. We also used our proprietary software to optimize landing page copy for high-value keyword searches. LinkGraph ensured that all on-page content optimizations also added geographic language, physical addresses, and large city names so Google crawlers would better recognize the relevance of the site’s content to all Orange County car accident lawyer searches. By the end of the campaign, the site earned the top organic rankings for “orange county car accident lawyer.”

The site also experienced PSI score improvements, ensuring better load times and overall page experience for site visitors from organic search.

Technical SEO for Sitewide Translation
