In this #LocalSEOCasSstudy, I break down how my attorney client improved page-one visibility for the keyword “car accident lawyer near me” from 7% to 27% across a 15-by-15 Google Maps grid covering a three-mile radius.

This improvement matters because stronger local rankings can generate more qualified impressions, website visits, phone calls, bookings, and potential cases. I also explain several strategies that helped move the heat map in the right direction.

These tactics include earning and responding to Google reviews with helpful, service-related language, choosing a focused Google Business Profile category, adding relevant keywords and nearby cities to the business description, and maintaining an accurate physical address. I also discuss using the product carousel, publishing regular Google Business Profile updates, adding social profiles, and building reviews on third-party platforms such as Yelp, Facebook, and Trustindex.

On the website side, businesses can test linking their Google Business Profile to a dedicated service landing page, embed their Google Map in the footer, and display reviews with schema markup.

Local SEO takes time, but steady optimization can produce measurable growth. Watch the full video today to see the ranking progression and learn practical ideas you can apply to your own business.

00:00Hey, everyone. What's going on? Greg here again from Team Blast. The keyword here is car accident
00:04lawyer near me. This is a heat map time lapse from when I started. When we were at 7%
00:09of the
00:09time, we're on page one of Google. If you search for this keyword in the three mile radius 15 by
00:1315 grid. And now today we're at 27%. It's going to lead to more phone calls, website clicks,
00:18bookings, and potential leads for my attorney client that I'm working with. So I want to
00:23really share this visual. Let's get into things that I do for them, but also for my other clients
00:27to kind of maybe give you guys some ideas what you can do for your business. So for me,
00:31Team Blast over here. First thing is Google reviews are important. So I always encourage you, let me
00:36go to read reviews over here, to respond to any of your reviews simply more than just say thank you.
00:41Respond with a keyword if you can. It's a good way to kind of give more guidance for potential
00:47customers as well to see that you're more than somebody just saying thanks. You can say thank
00:50you. We're happy that we were able to service your car accident, injury case, something like that.
00:55Next, the primary category for me is marketing agency. I'm going to go to edit profile over
01:01here. This is important. So for them, I stick to really just one primary category. It's important
01:07not to dilute away from the primary categories. Don't add five or six different secondary categories
01:11that actually might dilute away from their keyword car accident. So have one primary category that
01:18usually tends to work a little bit better, or you can always experiment with maybe one or two more.
01:22Next, since I'm already in here, the description is a slight ranking factor. So for them, I use the
01:26keyword car accident lawyer or attorney. They mean the same thing. But I also include nearby towns and
01:33cities in their description. I do the same thing with TM Blast. It kind of gives another slight
01:37ranking signal. Next, physical address. We all know that this is a very important factor for
01:43lawyers. Generally, you're going to have a physical address. I'm not too concerned about that.
01:46But for my other potential clients out there as well, if you don't have a physical address,
01:51that's always one of my first recommendations. Next, I always have this over here. The product
01:55carousel is a good visual to kind of display exactly what you provide. I'm going to click into
01:59this. I have hourly SEO consulting. So for them, I have car accident lawyer, and I include a small
02:04description of exactly what they provide. It's a visual. It helps me with the click-through rate for
02:10users and can also give that indirect signal to Google. I recommend that. Next, reviews on the web.
02:15Outside of just Google, reviews are important. I always talk about this. Don't put all your eggs
02:18in one basket. Get reviews on Facebook, Yelp, Trustpilot, Trustindex, anything else you can do
02:24to kind of diversify your reviews away simply from Google. Next, we have updates over here.
02:29So for them, I'll have an update. Something like if you're looking for a car accident attorney near me
02:35or someone in a particular city, I'll make updates about that maybe one or two times throughout the
02:39week. Keep the account fresh. Help with the click-through rate for anyone coming to this
02:44business profile. It's a way to kind of give the keyword in the update. Social profiles on here.
02:50Again, make your profile stand out a little bit bigger. That's an additional way. Last but not
02:56least, I'm going to go to the website for TM Blast just to kind of explain this. What you can
03:00do is
03:00you can actually play around with the website links. You can either have it go to your homepage
03:05if it's more generic, or if you're really going after, let's say, the keyword like car accident
03:09attorney or lawyer. You should have a dedicated landing page on your website, and you can actually
03:14then link out to that. And then you can see if you're looking at your keywords and saying,
03:18hey, I'm really not ranking that well in general for most of my keywords. I really want to specialize
03:21in one thing like car accident. It may actually be worth testing, linking out directly to your car
03:27accident page onto your website. So your homepage, it is a ranking factor, something maybe you want to
03:31consider. Finally, last tip over here, I'll go all the way down. I include my Google business
03:37profile map directly into my footer. So it helps kind of show the name, address, phone number across
03:42the web on every page for tmblast.com. And then last but not least, I have my reviews over here
03:47from trustindex.io. That's all has schema markup on it. That's why I push for my clients as well.
03:52Get the reviews from Google or third party sites like Yelp, and then embed them directly onto your
03:57website. It's going to help with your SEO rankings. But in summary, I'm going to go back into this.
04:01This is really the main story. The heat map has been changing pretty much. SEO does take a few
04:06months, but you can see this progression for car accident lawyer near me. We are ranking better
04:10for this keyword. It's going to lead to more high quality impressions, website clicks, phone calls,
04:15bookings, and potential leads for my client. Anyway, thanks for watching this video and stay tuned for
04:21the next one.
