Employment Lawyer SEO Built Around Contingency-Fee Intake
Wrongful termination, discrimination, retaliation, wage theft — every employee-side case is researched by a prospect already under stress, worried about fees, and racing against EEOC filing deadlines. We build SEO that reaches them early, lowers fee anxiety with contingency-fee messaging, and converts before they talk themselves out of calling.

The Problems We Fix
Prospects don't know they have a case until it's almost too late
EEOC filing windows can be as short as 180 days — and most employees don't realize they have a claim at all. Without educational content ranking for 'is this discrimination', 'can I sue for wrongful termination', 'EEOC complaint filing', the case never reaches your intake.
Contingency-fee messaging is missing — so prospects don't call
Almost every employee-side employment case is contingency. But most employment firm sites bury that fact. Prospects who don't know consultation is free — and that they won't pay unless they win — never pick up the phone.
Head-term 'employment lawyer' traffic converts poorly
Generic employment law queries pull a mix of employees, HR pros, and employers. The queries that convert are claim-type-specific — 'discrimination lawyer', 'wrongful termination attorney', 'unpaid overtime lawyer' — each with its own page and intake flow.
You fight for the worker. We win the search.
You didn't build an employee-side practice to spend your nights learning keyword research and content strategy. Between EEOC filings, depositions, and stressed client calls, marketing is the plate that keeps dropping — and workers who don't even know they have a claim never find you before the deadline runs.
We build campaigns for law firms only, and employee-side employment law is a niche we know cold — the short filing windows, the fee anxiety, the fear of retaliation. You get a dedicated strategist and a direct line — no offshore SEO teams, no ticket queues — reporting on the one number that matters: signed cases.
- Employee-side employment SEO — not generalists dabbling in legal
- Built around how wronged workers actually search and vet
- Bar-compliant content reviewed for advertising rules in your state

Claim-Type Landing Page Network
Dedicated conversion-optimized pages for every major employee-side claim category — wrongful termination, race/gender/age/disability discrimination, retaliation, sexual harassment, wage theft, FMLA violations — each targeted to the exact employee query.
- Wrongful termination with at-will state caveats
- Discrimination pages for each protected class
- Wage theft / unpaid overtime / tip theft pages
- Retaliation and whistleblower pages (Sarbanes-Oxley, Dodd-Frank)
Deadline-Urgency Content
EEOC, state agency, and statute-of-limitations deadlines are the #1 reason cases never get filed. We publish state-by-state deadline guides, automatic 'don't miss this window' CTAs on every page, and intake forms designed to capture timeline info upfront.
- State-specific EEOC and DFEH filing-window guides
- 'Time left to file' calculator widgets
- Deadline-triggered intake forms
- Federal vs. state filing-venue decision trees
Contingency-Fee-First Messaging
Every page surfaces your contingency-fee model above the fold — 'No Fee Unless We Win', 'Free Consultation', 'No Upfront Cost'. Prospects facing financial stress from job loss are the most fee-sensitive legal audience; clear messaging converts them.
- 'No Fee Unless We Win' surfaced above the fold on every page
- 'Free Consultation' + 'No Upfront Cost' messaging throughout
- Fee-model explainers that defuse job-loss financial stress
- CTAs tuned for the most fee-sensitive audience in legal
Anti-Retaliation Privacy Intake
Employees are often still employed while researching. Confidential intake forms, clear 'your employer won't find out' messaging, encrypted document upload, and work-device-safe browsing guidance — built into every page.
- Confidential intake forms with encrypted document upload
- 'We don't contact your employer without consent' messaging
- Work-device-safe browsing guidance for still-employed prospects
- Discreet flow that converts cautious, at-risk employees
From invisible to page one, in three steps
Employee-Side Market Audit
We map your rankings, your top employment competitors (including employer-side firms poaching worker traffic), your Google Business Profile, and the claim-type + city searches actually driving signed cases — from 'wrongful termination lawyer' to 'unpaid overtime attorney'. You leave with a prioritized plan even if you never hire us.
Build the Case-Signing Stack
Technical SEO, claim-type landing pages, deadline-urgency content, contingency-fee-first messaging, anti-retaliation privacy intake, GBP optimization, and call tracking — all wired up in the first 30 days so every lead is measurable.
Compound Every Week
Weekly ranking reports, monthly strategy calls, and continuous content velocity across claim types and states. Every signed case traces back to the exact query that drove it, so we double down on what pays.
An intake board full of cases worth signing
Imagine your intake coordinator sorting real discrimination and wage-theft claims on Monday morning instead of fielding HR questions and unqualified callers — with a cost-per-case from organic that's a fraction of what you bleed on ads.
- You out-rank employer-side firms on the keywords workers actually use.
- Claim-type pages sign cases while you're in depositions.
- Deadline-urgency content converts research-mode prospects to calls.
- Contingency-fee messaging turns fee-anxious workers into clients.
- Anti-retaliation intake wins the still-employed cases others lose.
- Case flow no longer swings with your ad budget.
Every quiet week is a case that expires before it's filed.
