Building Real Search Visibility & a Repeatable Client Acquisition Engine for Wellborn Law
Wellborn Law had strong service credibility and client trust, but growth was constrained by limited digital visibility and no scalable client acquisition system. Six months into a Content Marketing + Web Development Starter engagement, the firm has built real, growing search visibility - and turned that early traffic into signed cases.

Results
Real, early-stage numbers - not a projection
The search figures below are pulled directly from Google Search Console for Wellborn Law's website across the first 6 months of the engagement. No pre-engagement baseline was available for comparison, so this is presented as a snapshot rather than a before/after.

Average CTR
47.4
Average search position
An average position of 47.4 means most of this visibility is still coming from beyond page 1 - typical of the early content-indexing phase of a legal SEO program, where breadth of impressions builds ahead of rankings and clicks. The next phase of work is focused on moving that average position up and converting more of this reach into clicks.
