4 reasons your firm gets more than an SEO report
| MasterSEO | Typical agency | |
|---|---|---|
| Visibility | 24/7 dashboard with leads, spend and change log | Periodic reports without a live change log |
| Speed | Scripts and AI tools ship work in hours or days | Weeks for small changes |
| Exclusivity | One major client per niche per region | No exclusivity built in |
| Focus | Calls, enquiries and revenue | Traffic totals and technical jargon |
Results you can take to the bank.
I care about the calls and enquiries your firm receives, not whether you understand the technology. We handle the technical work and show you what it delivers.

6 answers. One step closer to more enquiries.
What does SEO for lawyers in Canada include?
We review your search presence, build and improve legal content, fix technical SEO problems and improve enquiry paths. Your plan reflects your practice areas and the markets you serve.
How much does law firm SEO cost?
The scope depends on your practice areas, market and website. Your free audit identifies priorities so we can discuss the work and pricing for your firm.
How long does SEO take to produce results?
Timing depends on your market, competition and website. We can ship fixes and pages in hours or days, but search growth takes time. We do not guarantee rankings.
How will I see what you're doing?
The Glass Box Portal gives you a 24/7 view of rankings, leads, spend and a log of changes. You can see the work and its outcomes without deciphering technical reports.
Will you work with my direct competitors?
We take one major client per niche per region and do not work with your direct competitors. Ask about availability for your practice and region during your free audit.
Where do the legal marketing numbers come from?
Ahrefs and Keyword Planner estimate 960K monthly legal searches in Canada. Keyword Planner reports an $82 average CPC for personal injury. QliqQliq's SERP capture found 2.1 mobile screens before the first organic result; its mystery-shopper test found 30% of after-hours calls went unanswered.
