SBD Marketing works only with criminal defense law firms, and only with one firm per city. For DUI practices, that means building search visibility around the case types and deadlines DUI clients care about.
- DUI pages that rank for real searches
A DUI section with pages for first offense, refusal, CDL, felony DUI and license hearings, written for the searches people make in your county. - A map listing for DUI searches
Google Business Profile categories, services, photos and reviews set up so your office can compete for the map results on DUI searches. - Visibility when people ask AI
Clear, consistent firm details and answer-style DUI pages so assistants such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity can name your firm when asked who handles DUI cases nearby.

Five things to check on your DUI marketing
You can check all of these from your phone in under an hour.
Search the license question
Search for your state’s DUI license hearing question plus your city. If your firm doesn’t appear, a clear license hearing page is the first thing to write.
Count your DUI pages
If one page covers first offense, refusal, CDL and felony DUI, you’re competing with firms that have a page for each.
Use your state’s term
Make sure your pages use your state’s legal term, such as DWI or OWI, alongside DUI.
Call after 9 p.m.
Call your own number late on a weekend night and see what a new DUI client would experience.
Read your specialist wording
Look for words like expert or specialist on your site and check them against your state bar’s rules.
