Stobbs Law Offices
Since 2009, I’ve helped Stobbs Law Offices evolve its website and search presence so people facing serious charges can find the firm, understand John Stobbs’s experience, and decide whether to reach out.
Someone looking for a criminal defense attorney may have a court date approaching or be unsure what an investigation means for them. The website has to help them answer a few immediate questions. Does this attorney handle my kind of matter? Does he work in the relevant court? Who will I speak with when I call?
The firm is based in Alton and serves clients across Madison County, including Edwardsville. It also handles matters in the Southern District of Illinois and the Eastern District of Missouri. That mix called for clear ways into the site for local searches, federal matters, and questions about specific charges.
Each redesign gave visitors a clearer view of John’s background, courtroom experience, and personal involvement. I helped produce the homepage and testimonial videos so people could hear from him and get a sense of the practice before reaching out.
Detailed practice pages explain what the firm handles. Geographic pages clarify where it works. Federal resources answer questions about courts, investigations, and proceedings. Visitors can start with their own question and find a path toward a confidential appointment.
Periodic redesigns and ongoing development improved the experience across screen sizes while preserving the specialized material people already found through search. The design puts essential information and contact options within easy reach on a phone.
Google Search Console recorded discovery through the homepage, practice pages, geographic pages, and legal resources.
A search review found first-page visibility across selected local and federal defense searches, including Edwardsville even though the firm’s office is in Alton. The strongest examples aligned with John’s federal court experience. Google also cited the site in AI-generated answers for some relevant legal searches.
Those observations are snapshots. The wider Search Console record shows a more durable pattern. Older resources continued to bring people to the site while newer legal commentary gave readers additional ways to discover the firm. The figures measure search discovery and clicks. Consultations and retained matters require separate tracking.
A professional services website earns more trust over time when each redesign makes the firm’s experience easier to find and evaluate.
If your work takes expertise and discretion, tell me what prospective clients need to understand before they’re ready to talk.
