While we are young as a registered business entity, our experience in the SEO and digital marketing space goes as far back as 2003 when our founder, Kanayo Okwuraiwe got online for the first time.

After the novelty and razzmatazz of the internet wore off, one of the first things he started learning was how to make money on the internet. He would quickly discover that the one skill that was crucial and critical in any attempt to earn an income from the web was digital marketing skills.

This was when his foray into all things digital marketing in general, and SEO in particular began. He would then go on to use all the knowledge and experience gained over the years to form Telligent Marketing LLC and to help lawyers and law firms grow their business.

While this might potentially change in the future, for the time being we work exclusively with lawyers, attorneys and other companies in the legal industry. This specialization means that we are laser-focused on the legal space and are therefore single-minded in the work we do. We, therefore, don’t get distracted with the “noise” in other industries as it pertains to the SEO and tactics that are needed for them.

Additionally, this specialization also means that over time we have built up a sizable number of relationships and other assets that we require in our work, and that will more than likely mean we can achieve our goals faster than we otherwise would.

While location doesn’t matter one bit in SEO, the fact that we have a presence in the state of Texas means that we more often than not can have a better “feel” for what your business needs and is going through. This is because we are also a business.

We are able to put our money where our mouth is. All you have to do is send us an email asking us for references and we’ll provide you with 2-3 references of past or current clients that have hired us.

They will be able to confirm that they did indeed see a growth in their business after we helped them rank their law firm’s website on the front page of Google.

The labeling of the price of a service as expensive or cheap can often be relative. What is expensive for one person might be cheap for another and vice versa.

However, because we are very active in the industry we know the fees that some of our peers charge. We think and know our fees are ‘reasonable’ because the price you will pay us will be a pittance when compared to the value we will provide and the results we will obtain for your business.

And while you can likely get a different company to offer lower rates, cheaper does not always equate to better, and as a matter of fact, it is a known fact in the SEO industry that those who charge the lowest sums are usually those who do shady things in their SEO.

Shady tactics often referred to as black or grey hat tactics in SEO speak will almost always come back to bite in the future.

Research tells us that the number one resource people turn to, to find information is a search engine. It is therefore imperative for the survival of your business that digital marketing is a significant part of your overall marketing strategy.

While your digital strategy can and should have various components like social media marketing and Pay Per Click advertising, SEO is the most effective and efficient tactic you can use. It is cost effective and you can better control your costs, the ROI is and can be significantly higher than other (digital and non-digital) channels, and it does not fall victim to the phenomenon of “ad blindness."

These are just some of the advantages of SEO for your law firm.

It’s impossible to say. SEO has gotten increasingly harder over the years. A few years ago it could take as little as a few weeks to start to see results. Nowadays, it is not uncommon for SEO projects to take anywhere from 6 – 12 months to deliver results. In extreme cases, such as in very competitive niches, it is not impossible for projects to take as long as 24 months.

In our case, we have worked on client projects that took us 5 months to deliver results, while others have taken us 10 months.The most important thing to keep in mind is this: There is a (good) reason why SEO takes a while to deliver results. If it were that easy to get your law firm’s website ranked on the first page of Google, then it would equally be easy for another company to take your position on Google’s page 1 shortly after.

To this end, the good thing is that once a high ranking has been achieved, you can usually expect your website to maintain that rank for years to come, provided the work is done to maintain the rank.

The first and most important thing to know about our fee is that we work on a monthly retainer structure. Having said that, our fees will usually be determined by what exactly your objectives are.

For example, you might simply want us to work on your website’s SEO, or you may also need us to manage your website and social media channels in addition to the SEO work. These additional tasks will clearly have a different price point than a purely SEO-based work.

So the best way to get the answer to this question is to give us a call on (877) 688-0615 or send us an email and we’ll schedule a time to discuss what exactly you are trying to do, after which we will be in a better position to give you a quote.

Yes we do. You will need to give us a bit of information to help us conduct the audit. A good place to visit our home page and scroll down to the section that says “Want A FREE Website Audit?" and fill out the form.

You will hardly ever find any SEO specialist worth their salt that will guarantee you results. This is not to say that you will not find people who will use the word guarantee in their conversations or emails with you. The reason most professional SEO’s, including us, will never use the word guarantee is because we have absolutely no control over the search engines and what they do.

So while we know how they work and what factors they use to rank a website over another, we also know very well that Google or Bing can at any point in time undertake major changes to their algorithms, as they have done several times in the past, and upend the entire industry.

The thing we can and will say in place offering a guarantee, is to say that there is a very (very) high probability that we will get your website ranked high (we usually shoot for the top 5 results on page 1) in Google and Bing.

They are both good and in general, we often recommend to our clients who can afford it, to do both. The one main advantage that PPC has over SEO is that it can provide instant results, versus the sometimes lengthy timeframe that SEO can take as we discussed in point 2 above. There are also other benefits that PPC has over SEO, but we will refrain from going into them here.

The main (but not the only) advantage that SEO has over PPC is it’s sustainability. If you commit to spending $10 a month on an SEO project, you know that this is what you will continue to spend.

With PPC, you can start by spending $10 a month and bid $0.5 per click and you can reasonably predict the amount of traffic you will get. All it takes is for someone else with deeper pockets to come and spend $200 a month and bid $5 on the same keywords, thereby outbidding you.

You would then potentially or likely see a decrease in traffic and you would need to up your click bid and monthly spend to maintain the same amount of traffic you are used to getting.

You should remember that cheaper does not necessarily equate to better.

One food for thought we will give you as to why you should hire us to manage your law firm’s marketing is this: We would ask you not to focus (so much) on the cost or amount of money you would pay us, but the value your business would get out of being ranked on the first page Google for relevant keywords related to your business’s offering. What would you be willing to do (and pay) to achieve this feat?

Also, you should know that there are many SEO’s that undertake shady activities in their bid to provide you with results. While you may see results in the near-term, those gains are almost certain to be wiped out in due time, but much worse than that, it is not impossible for your website to be penalised by Google for the shady activities performed by that SEO.More often than not, it is those SEO’s that charge (really) low fees that engage in those shady practices.

You absolutely can. But we can assure you that something else will likely suffer if you do this.

You might not pay your business enough attention because much time is spent learning, then performing SEO tasks. Or you might not pay enough attention to SEO and would therefore not reap the benefits you desire. Or even if you are somehow able to focus enough attention to both SEO and your business, chances are extremely high that your health (and other aspects of your life) might suffer as you will likely have little time for anything else.

This is exactly why you should contact us to handle your law firm’s SEO.

We measure success by our ability to help your business grow its revenue.

The tactic we will employ to do this is by helping your business’s website rank on the first page of Google (and Bing) for as many relevant keywords that people use when looking to find a lawyer or law firm that provides any of the services that your business offers.

This will be our ultimate measure of success. In other words, helping your website and business get an increase in the amount of regular and targeted visitors who call, email or visit it.

While our primary focus is companies operating in the legal industry, we are not averse to working with companies in other industries.

While there are specific conditions and requirements that will need to be met before we agree to take a client in a non-legal industry, we would be very happy to help you achieve what you are trying to do if you are not a law firm. Simply get in touch with us to discuss your needs.
