Be the First Law Firm They Find When Debt Becomes Too Much to Handle
Bankruptcy law clients may be overwhelmed, uncertain, and often ashamed. Yet when the debt becomes too much to bear, the first thing they’ll usually do is turn to Google for answers, before they even think about speaking to a bankruptcy lawyer. When your bankruptcy law firm website is able to rank high for a variety of search queries, you’ll be better positioned to help those who need your bankruptcy law expertise. Those who are interested in bankruptcy options may search for the following:
- “Bankruptcy lawyer near me”
- “Should I file Chapter 7 or Chapter 13?”
- “How to stop wage garnishment”
- “Best bankruptcy attorney in [city]”
If your bankruptcy law firm is not showing up on the first page of Google’s search results, those potential bankruptcy clients are likely turning to your competitors, no matter how much experience or compassion you may be able to bring to the table.
At DASH-SEO, we help bankruptcy law firms just like yours:
Rank at the top of Google for high-intent bankruptcy-related searches
Connect with individuals and families in financial distress
Build trust through helpful, judgment-free content

Turn your website into your most reliable lead source
Whether you’re a solo-practice bankruptcy attorney or a multi-location bankruptcy law firm, DASH-SEO creates ethical, powerful, custom SEO campaigns which help you grow, without the need for paid ads, gimmicks, or guesswork.
Why SEO Is Crucial for Bankruptcy Law Firms
Bankruptcy is Usually a High-Intent, Urgent Search
Bankruptcy is not a simple, casual inquiry. People who are searching for help with their bankruptcy options are very much ready to take action, often within mere days of contacting your bankruptcy law firm. Very few potential clients will want to mess around, as time is of the essence. Relieving financial pressure and protecting assets is the goal. Our team of SEO experts is able to place your bankruptcy law firm in front of those potential clients who need your help now.
Google Is the First Step to Relief
Prior to contacting a bankruptcy lawyer, potential clients will type phrases into Google such as:
- “Can bankruptcy stop foreclosure?”
- “How much does Chapter 13 cost?”
- “Credit card debt lawyer in [city]”
- “I’m being sued for debt—what do I do?”
If your bankruptcy law firm’s website ranks well for those terms and more, your website will be able to provide your potential clients with the answers they need to convert into actual clients for your bankruptcy law firm. Through earning trust via quality content, you can then continue to earn their trust as you help them navigate their way out of a financial mess and into greener pastures.

PPC (pay-per-click) ads for bankruptcy lawyers may end up costing anywhere from $25-$100/click. When your daily ad budget is depleted, your leads stop immediately. With SEO, we’re able to create long-term, evergreen-focused content to help your site rank for high-intent keywords for many months and years to come, without having to pay for each and every lead which comes through your website.
