The Lacy Firm.From zero to a content engine.

An employment law firm fighting for visibility across three markets. We built a content engine and a backlink profile that took it from a standing start to thousands of organic visits a month.

Employment Law · Philadelphia, NJ & Pittsburgh

The Lacy Employment Law Firm represents workers across Philadelphia, New Jersey, and Pittsburgh.

Despite serving three busy markets, the firm's site didn't appear for the employment-law terms that bring in cases. We built out the service and location pages, repaired the technical foundation, and optimized a Google Business Profile in each market.

Search engine optimization

Built from the ground up.

The domain started with a handful of links and almost no authority. We compounded it: local pages for Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, and a steady stream of in-depth articles answering what wronged employees actually search for.

Where they started

  • A domain rating of 1.5 and only six referring domains at the start.
  • Not appearing for critical employment-law search terms.
  • No dedicated, service-specific pages.
  • No content answering high-volume employee questions.

What we did

  1. Service and location pages. Created dedicated pages for each practice area, targeted to Philadelphia, New Jersey, and Pittsburgh.
  2. Technical SEO. Cleared crawl errors and broken links, tightened internal linking, sped the site up, and added schema markup so search engines could read every page.
  3. Backlinks and press. Earned authoritative links and press placements to build domain authority from the outside in.
  4. Citations and NAP. Standardised name, address, and phone listings across trusted directories so the business reads as one consistent entity.
  5. Three Google Business Profiles. Optimized a profile in each market with accurate details, posts, and review management.

Content did the heavy lifting: a single guide on what happens after a final written warning earns roughly 200 clicks a month, and the firm ranks page-one for competitive terms like “employment lawyers Pittsburgh” (position 4.9) on top of owning every brand search.
