The Step-By-Step Hiring Playbook
Step 1 — Define success. Decide what a win looks like (qualified enquiries, signed cases), which practice areas and locations to target. Step 2 — Shortlist by fit. Legal specialist (#2) or broader agency (#3), depending on your needs. Step 3 — Check real work. Ask for law-firm case studies and live link placements; judge content and link relevance yourself. Step 4 — Run a defined trial. Start with a clear, smaller scope and measurable goals. Step 5 — Scale on evidence. Expand once leading indicators (impressions, rankings on local legal keywords) trend up. Step 6 — Avoid traps: guaranteed rankings, generic content, cheap bulk links.
A Simple 90-Day Plan
Days 1–15: define success metrics and shortlist two agencies. Days 16–30: review their real work and run a scoped trial brief. Days 31–60: ship the first content and links, and watch impressions and rankings on local legal keywords in Search Console. Days 61–90: judge leading indicators honestly and decide whether to scale, adjust, or switch. Ninety days won't deliver a flood of cases — legal SEO compounds over longer — but it proves whether the agency fits before you commit a year's budget.
FAQ
How long is a fair trial?
Long enough to see leading indicators move (a quarter), knowing real cases compound over longer.
