I'm Brad Smith here with Matthew Khorsandi, founder of GLP Marketing, who has built a 7-figure SEO agency in just 4 years by focusing on one thing: generating actual revenue for law firms, not just traffic and rankings. Matthew's agency, GLP Marketing, helps law firms decrease their customer acquisition costs through organic search, but not in the way you think. Instead of chasing "best attorney in [city]" rankings, they focus on visibility where prospective clients are actually searching for answers throughout their buyer journey. In this episode, Matthew shares how GLP Marketing took a lemon law firm from struggling with their previous SEO agency to generating $500K in monthly revenue through 40 retainers per month from organic search alone.

They identify all potential problems clients face before and during the process of needing legal services, then map out every question prospects ask during their buyer journey. Step 2: Strategic Keyword Research Using the ideal client profile, GLP Marketing conducts keyword research to determine what people are actually searching for online. This isn't about "best attorney" rankings - it's about capturing search intent at every stage of the customer journey. Step 3: Content Framework Creation They create detailed outlines by analyzing top-ranking results for target keywords, then asking: "Has this been answered in the most concise manner? Is this the most complete content that fulfills search intent?" This creates a framework for writers to follow. Step 4: Quality Content Production Content is written by human writers following the AI-generated outlines, then scored using AI quality assurance against their content guidelines. Only content meeting their threshold gets published. Step 5: Complete Tracking Implementation GLP Marketing implements tracking systems to measure traffic, phone calls, form submissions, and most importantly - signed retainers. This allows them to optimize for revenue, not just rankings. COMMON QUESTIONS ANSWERED: Q: How is AI SEO different from traditional SEO according to Matthew Khorsandi? Matthew explains that AI SEO is 95% traditional SEO fundamentals. The main difference is auditing AI search results (like ChatGPT responses) instead of just Google results, and understanding what factors influence AI recommendations. Q: Can law firms do SEO themselves instead of hiring GLP Marketing? Unlike other industries, law firms typically can't DIY their SEO effectively. Matthew explains the challenge isn't knowing what to do, but prioritizing what to do and when. Experience helps distinguish between noise and high-priority actions. Q: How long does it take to see results from GLP Marketing's law firm SEO? SEO takes longer than immediate channels like paid ads, but GLP Marketing doesn't require long-term contracts. They set proper expectations while focusing on measurable revenue results rather than just traffic increases. Q: Should law firms focus on personal branding alongside GLP Marketing's SEO services? Yes. Matthew recommends organic social media, paid social, and Google ads all play supporting roles in increasing brand presence, which improves SEO performance. Google emphasizes brand signals, so multi-channel presence helps SEO content get more visibility.
