Show Notes
Welcome to episode 320 of Grow Your Law Firm, hosted by Ken Hardison. In this episode, Ken welcomes back Seth Price, founder of BluShark Digital and managing partner of Price Benowitz, LLP, a rapidly growing multi-office law firm. Seth brings a rare perspective as both a legal marketer and a practicing attorney who has scaled his firm to more than 50 lawyers by consistently executing on fundamentals rather than chasing marketing fads.
The conversation focuses on what actually drives predictable case growth in 2026, why local search remains the highest-ROI channel for small and midsize firms, and how law firm owners should think about AI, reviews, satellite offices, and authority signals without falling for "shiny object" distractions. Seth shares real-world examples from competitive markets, breaks down Google's proximity update, and explains how disciplined execution compounds results over time.
What you'll learn in this episode:
1. Why Local Search Still Wins - How Google's proximity update changed the rules for competing in local markets - Why reviews, offices, and authority still drive the majority of digital case volume
2. The Right Way to Use Satellite Offices - What qualifies as a legitimate office in Google's eyes - How to choose locations that reduce competition and improve visibility
3. Reviews as a Revenue Multiplier - Why review count and score directly impact intake volume - How poor ratings quietly remove firms from the three-pack
4. Separating Fundamentals From "Fairy Dustfai" Marketing - Why chasing AI visibility without strong basics hurts ROI - How to evaluate new channels based on revenue, not hype
5. Building Authority That AI and Google Both Recognize - The growing importance of directories, backlinks, and trusted third-party signals - Why bios, awards, and credible mentions now matter more than ever
