The challenge

Solo personal injury attorney in Phoenix, AZ competing against firms with 7-figure marketing budgets. Profile had been live for 4 years but was outranked by larger firms with hundreds of reviews. Single case fee averages $15,000+, so even a few extra cases per year would 5× any reasonable marketing investment.

What we found

  • State bar advertising compliance gaps: Some review responses crossed AZ bar advertising rules; needed cleanup
  • Solo attorney visibility: Solo practitioner positioning never highlighted; profile read like a firm
  • Practice area focus diluted: Listed too broadly (general personal injury); top-ranked competitors were specific (auto accident, slip-and-fall, etc.)
  • Citation gaps: Missing from Avvo, Justia, FindLaw, top legal directories
  • Review velocity: 17 reviews in 4 years averaged 0.35 per month
