TL;DR For law firms, overlooking competitors' SEO efforts can lead to losing rankings. Competitors might use digital marketing agencies to find and exploit content gaps, aiming to surpass you in search results.

It’s always good advice to stay focused on your own path.

But when it comes to marketing your law firm, particularly SEO, ignoring your competitors’ moves can actually hinder your success.

Imagine you’d been steadily ranking in search results…when suddenly, your position takes a hit.

It could be a new algorithm tweak affecting your visibility, but it might also mean your competitors are stepping up their game.

Don’t Let Competitors Outrank You

Perhaps they’ve enlisted the expertise of a full-service digital marketing agency.

The first thing that agency did was start identifying gaps in YOUR content that they could exploit to outmaneuver you in the rankings.

They’re probably also circling your weaker content right now.

Meticulously crafting an SEO-focused strategy to knock your pages and content from the top positions.

Because this agency is taking a comprehensive approach, they’ve also conducted a meticulous audit of their own client’s content and digital assets.

Uncovering gaps, while systematically eliminating deficiencies and creating big opportunities.

The Visible Impact On Your Rankings

Now you’re paying attention.

You’ll probably start noticing your competitor’s content becoming more meaningful to the marketplace…and to search engines.

What’s more, the agency is optimizing internal linking, metadata, and other critical details to gradually establish SERP dominance on those coveted keyword phrases you once thought were yours alone.
