Law firms · Mass tort

Mass tort marketing, fast enough to catch the docket before it closes.

Camp Lejeune, Roundup, AFFF, talc, hair relaxer, defective hip implants, dangerous drugs. Mass tort searches move with the docket, and the firms that rank for the right drug or exposure within weeks of the first MDL filing capture the qualified intake. We build the page architecture and content velocity to compete in that window, with intake that respects TCPA and bar rules.

What we see

What's keeping mass tort firms out of the 3-pack.

Patterns specific to mass tort that show up in nearly every audit. Each is fixable.

No dedicated page for each active drug, product, or exposure

A page titled 'Mass torts' that mentions Roundup, Camp Lejeune, AFFF, and hair relaxer in one paragraph each ranks for none of them. The pages that rank are drug-specific or exposure-specific: 'Camp Lejeune water contamination lawsuit,' 'Roundup non-Hodgkin lymphoma claim,' 'AFFF firefighter foam cancer claim.' Each is a separate searcher with a separate qualification path. The structure that ranks is one page per active matter, with category pages above and updated content below.

Slow content velocity that misses the docket window

A new MDL filing creates a search-volume spike that runs for weeks. Firms that publish a page within the first month of the filing capture the qualified intake during the window. Firms that publish six months later compete against established authority pages and rank lower. The fix is a content workflow that can produce a complete drug or exposure page within five business days of a major filing, briefed against the verified injury criteria and the eligible class.

TCPA exposure on intake forms

Mass tort intake is regulated by the TCPA (Telephone Consumer Protection Act) more strictly than other legal intake because of past abuse by some lead-generation operators. Intake forms that capture phone numbers without proper consent disclosure, or that route to autodialer or text systems without express written consent, create real exposure (statutory damages run $500 to $1,500 per call). The fix is intake forms with clear consent language, no pre-checked boxes, no autodialer routing without express written consent, and a documented compliance trail.

Joint venture and co-counsel content missing

Many mass tort cases are tried by a consortium of firms, with a referring firm handling intake, a screening firm doing the medical-records work, and a litigating firm prosecuting the matter. Most firm websites do not explain this and lose the referring lawyer who is searching for a co-counsel relationship. A dedicated 'co-counsel and joint venture' page with a phone number and a description of how the firm splits work, fees, and costs is content that other lawyers look for, not clients, and it produces referral relationships that scale.

No clear refer-out path for cases outside the firm's docket

A firm running active Roundup cases gets calls about every other drug in the news. Sending those callers away cold loses goodwill. Routing every call into the docket bloats intake. The right path is a documented refer-out workflow with co-counsel relationships across the major active dockets, so a caller with a case outside your matters gets routed to a firm you trust, with a fee-sharing arrangement on the back end and a thank-you note that builds the relationship for next time.

What ranks

The signals Google reads for mass tort firms.

Each of these is a lever we pull during onboarding. None of them are 'magic.' All of them are measurable.

Personal Injury Attorney with mass tort positioning

The Business Profile category list does not have a 'Mass Tort' option, so Personal Injury Attorney is the primary, with the firm's name and description carrying the mass tort positioning. Class Action Attorney is a useful secondary where the firm runs class actions rather than mass torts (the two are different procedurally).

One landing page per active drug, product, or exposure

Camp Lejeune. Roundup. AFFF. Talc. Hair relaxer. Hernia mesh. Each as its own page with the eligible injury list, the filing deadline, the MDL number, and a phone number that connects to a screening intake. New pages spun up within a week of major filings; existing pages updated as criteria change.

TCPA-compliant intake forms

Express written consent language on every phone-capture form, no pre-checked boxes, no autodialer routing without specific consent, and a documented compliance trail. The technical setup matters as much as the language. We audit the form provider, the consent log, and the downstream routing before any new docket goes live.

Co-counsel and joint venture content

A dedicated page that other lawyers can find, with phone, an explanation of how the firm splits cost and fee, the dockets the firm is currently actively trying, and the dockets the firm refers out. Most firms do not publish this content because they think their referring lawyers already know them; the firms that do publish it pick up new referring relationships consistently.

MDL-aware content with current criteria

MDL number, presiding judge, current eligibility criteria, bellwether trial status, settlement framework if applicable. Pages that include these signals look authoritative to lawyers, and they signal freshness to Google. We update the MDL data at least monthly on every active page and immediately when a major event changes the docket.
