I’m in a competitive city where dozens of personal injury lawyers are already running aggressive SEO campaigns. No matter what I do, my site barely moves up in rankings. Should I keep trying to compete with them or look for different marketing approaches?

In tough markets, SEO often requires more patience and smart targeting rather than brute force.

In highly competitive cities, the best way to gain traction is to refine your SEO strategy instead of competing directly on the broadest terms. This guide can help: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/top-guide-personal-injury-lawyer-seo-gerrid-smith-y1oxe/. It emphasizes strategies like targeting long-tail keywords (“slip and fall lawyer [city]”) instead of just “personal injury lawyer,” which can help you reach clients searching for very specific needs. Another approach is investing in high-quality local content, such as accident statistics or legal guides tailored to your city. Over time, these build authority and attract backlinks naturally. SEO in tough markets is a long game, but if you focus on differentiation and client-focused content, you’ll carve out a space even against larger firms.
