SEO by Industry
The mechanics of SEO are consistent. What changes by industry is how people search, how quickly they decide, and who you are competing against in the results.
Why does SEO differ by industry?
Because search intent, buying timelines, and competitors differ. A homeowner searching for emergency plumbing decides in minutes from the Map Pack. Someone choosing a law firm researches for days and reads reviews. A B2B software buyer takes months and involves a committee.
Those differences change which keywords are worth targeting, which pages need to exist, and which signals move rankings. The underlying work — technical foundation, local signals, content, and AI visibility — stays the same. The priorities do not.
Industries we specialize in.
These are the verticals where we do the most work and know the search landscape best.
Home Services
HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, and the trades.
Demand is urgent and geographic. Someone with a burst pipe picks from the Map Pack, not from page two โ and aggregator sites are bidding against you for the same clicks.
- Map Pack visibility across a service radius
- Seasonal demand swings
- Competing with lead aggregators
- Emergency vs. planned service intent
Law Firms
Personal injury, family law, criminal defense, and general practice.
Legal search is high-value, heavily competed, and trust-driven. Practice area pages have to rank individually, and Google applies elevated quality expectations to legal advice.
- Practice area pages that rank separately
- Multi-office and multi-attorney firms
- E-E-A-T and author credibility
- Extremely high cost-per-click alternatives
Healthcare & Dental
Dental practices, medical offices, and specialty clinics.
Patients search by procedure and by proximity, then check reviews before booking. Health content is held to a higher standard, so credibility signals matter more than volume.
- Procedure-level search intent
- Review volume and recency
- Multi-provider practices
- Health content credibility standards
