Signature Programs

Market Authority

For established firms with a strong foundation that are ready to dominate their local market and build lasting visibility.

You have done the foundational work. Your brand is established. Your website is live. Your firm has a track record.

Now the question is not whether you have a presence. It is whether that presence is working hard enough.

The Market Authority plan is a Marketing Co-Counsel® engagement built for firms that are ready to move beyond general marketing and into targeted, data-driven growth. We refine your SEO strategy, sharpen your local positioning, maximize your advertising return, and activate the Growth Engine to keep your firm building authority month after month.

This is not about starting over. It is about making what you have built perform at a higher level.

WHAT WE BUILD TOGETHER

A sharper strategy rooted in your market

We start by understanding your competitive landscape in detail. Who are you up against? Where is the opportunity? What is your firm doing well, and where is it leaving ground on the table?

  • Market research and competitive analysis: a clear picture of your local market and where your firm fits
  • Goal identification and refinement: we align on measurable outcomes before any work begins
  • Detailed strategy development: tailored to your practice area, geography, and growth goals
  • Custom services and metrics review: so you always know what is driving results

Local market dominance through targeted visibility

General SEO gets you found. Local authority makes you the obvious choice. We build a strategy that does both, with a focus on the clients and markets that matter most to your firm.

  • Local SEO: optimized to put your firm in front of clients searching in your area
  • Organic SEO: long-term authority building through content and technical optimization
  • PPC campaigns: targeted advertising that maximizes return on every dollar spent
  • Social media campaigns: consistent presence across the channels your clients use

A plan that keeps moving

A strong strategy loses its edge without consistent execution and regular refinement. We build a quarterly plan that keeps your marketing sharp and your firm ahead of competitors who are standing still.

  • Quarterly strategy reviews that assess performance and adjust direction
  • Clear metrics and reporting so you can see exactly what is working
  • Ongoing optimization across every channel in your program

The Growth Engine

Ongoing content and distribution, built into your engagement

The Market Authority plan includes the Growth Engine — our content and distribution system that keeps your firm visible, searchable, and generating leads every month.

  • SEO-optimized blog content published to your site each month
  • LinkedIn posts and graphics distributed across your channels
  • Content calendar managed and executed on your behalf
  • Lead magnets, email sequences, and nurturing campaigns
  • Quarterly marketing audits to measure progress and sharpen the strategy

The Growth Engine is included as the ongoing marketing component of your New Approach engagement. It can also be expanded with add-ons including LinkedIn ads management, event promotion, and the Authority Tour.

WHAT A PROGRAM LOOKS LIKE

Built for your firm. Here is how it works.

No two firms are alike, which means no two Marketing Co-Counsel® programs are identical. What we build for you depends on your goals, your market, your timeline, and where you are starting from. The following is an example of how an engagement might be structured. Not a template, but a picture of the kind of thinking we bring to every client.

  • Phase 1: Discovery and competitive analysis. We map your local market and find the highest-value opportunities. 
  • Phase 2: Strategy development. A targeted plan built around your goals and competitive position. 
  • Phase 3: Campaign launch. Local SEO, PPC, and social campaigns activated and optimized. 
  • Ongoing: Growth Engine activated. Monthly content, distribution, and continuous optimization.

This is one example. Your program will be shaped by your firm’s specific goals, practice area, market, and timeline. We will build the right plan together.
