Your law firm was the #1 search result and they still didn’t call.
Someone gets into an accident. Sitting in the car afterwards, waiting for the tow truck, phone in hand, they search for a solicitor.
Your firm comes up first. Not page two, not the map pack, the actual first result, reviews and all. Everything that was supposed to work, worked.
They tap through. The page starts loading. One second. Three seconds. Still loading, on a phone, on data, with hands that are still a little shaky.
They don't wait. They hit back and tap the next result instead, the one that loaded before they had time to think about it.
They never come back to yours, not because you weren't good enough to find, but because you weren't fast enough to reach once they did.
Ranking first doesn't matter if the page underneath it doesn't load before someone gives up.
