Google "probate attorney" — local pack, multiple sponsored slots, law firm giants. The organic positions below these ads are what we capture.
These are the exact keywords with organic ranking potential — the same searches people make organically. The Estate Settlement group costs $428 per lead in paid. Organic traffic from those same queries costs nothing per click. Are you prepared to keep paying this every month while that organic real estate sits empty?
People in grief don't browse — they ask AI. MeetAlix shows up, but only for headstone pricing and cremation guides. For the queries that drive deals, competitors get cited. You don't.
"Best estate settlement company" — Atticus, ClearEstate, Estateably cited. MeetAlix: absent. This is what we change.
"Estate settlement company" — a direct buying query. Competitors surface. MeetAlix doesn't. This is the specific gap we close.
10K clicks — every single one from brand searches or an old headstone blog post. Zero commercial estate settlement queries. That's the gap we start closing on Month 1.
9,992 clicks over 12 months. The bulk are brand searches — people who already know MeetAlix. There is some non-brand traffic, but it's headstone pricing, monument searches, and bereavement-related queries from old blog content. Commercial estate settlement keywords — "how to settle an estate," "probate attorney," "estate settlement company" — zero organic clicks. That is the entire opportunity.
Google holds estate content to the highest standard — verified expertise, named authors, third-party credibility. None of that architecture exists on meetalix.com right now. We build it first.
"How to settle an estate" branches into 20+ sub-questions — each one a page MeetAlix can own. Answering one question earns the right to answer the next. That's how topical authority is built.
Trust signals compound over time. A founder bio page published today won't rank tomorrow — but it becomes the credibility backbone that makes every subsequent page rank faster. We build the trust architecture first, then build content on top of it.
Massive search volume. Weak competition — mostly law firm boilerplate. Emotionally driven searchers ready to hire. These are the pages we're entering.
"executor of estate checklist" — Reddit threads, AI Overview, low-authority sites. Winnable with a single well-structured guide.
"settle estate without a lawyer" — DIY intent. MeetAlix is the literal answer to this query. Not ranking for it.
"probate attorney" cluster — Top paid cluster for MeetAlix. Organic positions below the local pack are available.
Three pages. Three stages of how bereaved families search. Written before the engagement starts — so you see exactly what you're buying.
Most agencies deliver a content calendar and a monthly report. This is the infrastructure underneath ours — built the same way MeetAlix built theirs.
This engagement is built around getting MeetAlix to 60 deals a month. Everything in the "included" column is foundational — without it, the rest doesn't work. Optional services can be layered in as the program matures.
Based on your paid account data: 3% conversion rate (clicks to deals) across non-brand campaigns. Year 1 target: 20 organic deals/month by month 12. The line continues — month 18 projects ~33 deals/month as content compounds. Paid CPA for your core keywords: $260 (Probate), $428 (Estate Settlement). Every organic deal at that same conversion rate costs no media spend.
