Law Firm SEO in Maryland
Quick Answer
ZAVYANS provides law firm SEO and Google Ads for Maryland firms, working remotely. Maryland Rule 7.1 bars false or misleading lawyer advertising, and we build pages and ads to that standard, including accurate cost and result statements.
What the Maryland rules mean for your marketing
What Maryland's rule requires
Maryland's Rule 7.1 bars false or misleading lawyer communications. The Maryland State Bar Association has applied it to advertising, including slogans that leave out a material cost, such as 'No Recovery, No Fee' without a clear statement that clients may still owe expenses.
Avoid implied results
Ads that imply a specific outcome can create unjustified expectations under Rule 7.1(b). Keep claims about results factual and qualified.
Retain copies
Keep copies of advertisements for at least three years after last use, and include the name of a responsible lawyer. Pre-approval is not normally required.
