Search demand

Searches that begin with a life event or a deadline

Each term is copied from Google.ca autocomplete, gathered on 19 October 2026. Four are French.

Search term Intent Why it matters
moncton lawyers that do wills High Often an older couple or a young family. A fee range, if you publish one, and a picture of the first meeting settle nerves.
moncton family lawyers High A private search. Calm wording and a clear account of the first appointment matter more than a list of credentials.
moncton employment lawyer Medium Say whether your office acts for employees, employers or both.
real estate lawyer moncton nb High A buyer or seller with a closing date. State what you need and by when, and how the fee works.
avocat moncton nb High The French search for a lawyer. A French label beside each practice area, and a contact block stating your languages, helps.
avocat immobilier moncton Medium The French search for a real estate lawyer. A closing page can carry a French title in its own heading if your office works in French.
tax accountant moncton High A self-employed person or small firm. List the returns you prepare and how you bill.
small business accountant moncton High An owner who needs more than a return. Name bookkeeping, payroll and year-end work if you offer them.
comptable moncton nb Medium The French search for an accountant, with the province added as many trade searches here do. One page can carry both words.
cabinet comptable moncton Medium The French search for an accounting firm. A page on how you work with growing businesses fits it.

Describe the first meeting before the client asks about it

People hesitate to call because they do not know what the first conversation involves. A page that describes it, who attends, what to bring, how long it takes and how you bill, removes most of that hesitation.

What gets in the way

Where law and accounting sites lose the client

Patterns we find on professional-office sites here.

  1. 01

    Practice areas buried in one paragraph

    One sentence listing “wills, estates, real estate, family, corporate” cannot rank for each. Give each area a page.

  2. 02

    No sign of what a matter involves

    Clients want the steps, not the statute. A short outline of how a closing, a will or a year-end runs helps them choose.

  3. 03

    Languages hidden in a staff bio

    If your office works in French, say so in the contact block and on service pages, not only on one person’s profile.

  4. 04

    A tax page that sleeps all year

    Filing searches build toward spring, but owners ask about year-end, payroll and bookkeeping in every season.

Done carefully

SEO for lawyers and accountants that respects your rules

Every profession has its own rules. This is how we keep the marketing within them.

Our rule
Advice belongs in the meeting room. The website only has to explain what you do and make it easy to ask.

Lawyers must be registered with the Law Society of New Brunswick (Barreau du Nouveau-Brunswick) to practise and to use the titles lawyer, barrister or solicitor, and chartered professional accountants fall under CPA New Brunswick. We use titles as each body records them, publish nothing that reads as legal or tax advice, and keep claims about results within the Competition Act.

Titles
As your regulator records them

  • No outcome claims or “we win” language.
  • No client names or matters published without written permission.
  • No title or specialty you are not entitled to use.
  • No promise that a page will lead to retained clients.

How we work

Four steps, from audit to monthly report

The work opens with a close look at your listing and website, then settles into a short monthly report that takes a coffee break to read.

  1. 01

    Audit

    First we study your website and listing, then look at the results a searcher gets in downtown, Mapleton, Dieppe and Riverview.

  2. 02

    Agree targets

    Together we choose the searches worth winning and decide whether each calls for a new page or a profile fix.

  3. 03

    Do the work

    Profile fixes, new pages, copy and tidying of directory entries, taking the likeliest quick wins first.

  4. 04

    Measure

    Each month brings a note of the calls, form messages and rankings we recorded, followed by our plan for the next four weeks.

Questions

Law and accounting offices ask us

Can a law or accounting office advertise online in New Brunswick?

Your regulator sets the rules for how services are described, so check them first. We write plain service pages without outcome claims, and your office approves each page before it goes live.

We serve clients in English and French. How should the site show it?

State it in a labelled contact block, put French service names beside the English ones and keep the same details on your Business Profile in both languages. French pages you write can sit on their own URLs with hreflang tags. We handle the structure; we do not translate or write French copy.

Do accountants need a different approach from lawyers?

The principle is the same, but the calendar differs. Tax work peaks in spring and sits beside bookkeeping, payroll and year-end all year, so the pages must stay useful in July as well as April.

Can we show up for “best” searches?

We would not build a page around a claim to be the best. A search such as best real estate lawyer in moncton is better met with a plain page on how a closing runs and how you bill.

What do your plans cost?

You choose between $300 (Starter), $500 (Growth) and $700 (Pro) per month, in Canadian dollars, and can leave whenever you like. Google Ads management belongs to Pro alone; the advertising budget itself is paid to Google. Website upkeep is already part of each choice. Pricing shows the differences.
