The problem
Tired of SEO agencies that don't understand Masterton?
Rankings, but no calls
Many agencies chase national blog traffic. Lawyers in Masterton need people close by searching "family lawyer", not readers from the other end of the country.
Losing "near me" searches
Legal search is crowded with large firms and online legal services with bigger budgets.
Messy listings and schema
Different addresses or phone numbers on Google, NZ Law Society Find a Lawyer and old directories confuse Google and push your law firm down the map in Solway.
Rising cost per lead
Conduct rules limit how lawyers can advertise, so content must stay accurate and professional. Paying per click for every Masterton lead gets expensive fast.
How we work
How we do local SEO for lawyers.
Google Business Profile optimisation
Google ranks map results on relevance, distance and prominence. We fix your law firm's profile so it is eligible to rank across Masterton.
- Primary category set to “Law firm”, with tested secondary categories
- Name, address and phone made identical everywhere
- Duplicate or unclaimed listings found and merged

If Google sees conflicting details, it drops the listing from the 3-pack rather than risk showing wrong information.
