The Client

Onyx Law Group — Family Law & Estate Litigation

Onyx Law Group is a Canadian firm handling family law disputes, estate litigation, and probate matters across British Columbia. They had an SEO provider. They had a website. What they didn't have was results.

After 12 months with their previous agency, organic traffic was flat at ~3,300 visitors/month — and almost none of that traffic was converting into consultations. They came to GLP looking for accountability, not promises.

The Problem

12 Months of SEO. Zero Momentum.

Their previous agency was checking boxes — publishing content, building links, sending reports. But the numbers told a different story.

Before GLP
Google Search Console Flat organic traffic before GLP — stagnant at 3,299/month
  • ~3,299 organic visitors/month — flat for over a year
  • Content published without keyword strategy or intent mapping
  • No geo-targeted pages for their service areas
  • Website architecture limiting crawlability and indexation
  • Zero visibility in Google's AI Overviews
After GLP
Google Search Console Organic traffic surging to 15,835/month after GLP engagement
  • 15,835 organic visitors/month — 380% growth
  • 300+ qualified leads per month from organic search
  • Dominant rankings for high-intent family law & estate keywords
  • Featured in Google AI Overviews for key practice areas
  • Organic became the firm's #1 source of new clients
What We Did

Five Phases. One Compounding System.

SEO isn't a checklist — it's an interconnected system. Each phase built on the last to create compound growth that accelerated every month.

Phase 1 — Rebuilt the Foundation

Complete website rebuild: responsive design, semantic HTML5, clean URL architecture, optimized server response times. You can't rank on a broken foundation — we made the site technically flawless.

Phase 2 — Mapped the Keyword Landscape

Deep keyword research across family law and estate litigation, segmented by intent and geography. We identified 200+ keyword opportunities their competitors were ranking for — and they weren't.

Phase 3 — Built 50 Geo-Targeted Landing Pages

Created location-specific pages targeting every city in their service area — "Vancouver Estate Lawyers," "Family Law Lawyers New Westminster," and dozens more. Each page built for both traditional search and AI search citations.

Phase 4 — Published ~100 Authority Articles

Not filler content — substantive, E-E-A-T compliant articles answering the exact questions potential clients ask. This content positioned Onyx as the definitive source Google references in AI Overviews.

Phase 5 — Technical SEO + Link Authority

Full on-page optimization (schema, internal linking, title tags), Google Business Profile overhaul, and strategic backlink acquisition from relevant legal publications and directories.

The Evidence

The Numbers Don't Lie

Raw Google Search Console data. From 761 clicks in the early months to 49,000+ clicks per quarter — sustained, compounding organic growth.

Why It Worked

The Difference Between Activity and Results

Geo-Targeted Domination

50 city-specific pages didn't just capture traffic — they captured the exact people searching for family and estate lawyers in specific cities.

Content That Google Trusts

~100 articles built around E-E-A-T principles. Google now cites Onyx in AI Overviews — the highest form of algorithmic trust.

Full-Stack, Not Piecemeal

Technical foundation + content + local SEO + authority building working as one system. Each layer compounds the others.

Measured by Signed Cases

Rankings are vanity. We tracked leads, consultations, and signed cases through CallRail and CRM integration. The metric that matters is revenue.
