“Stephan’s team came in, broke down what wasn’t working, and rebuilt our digital strategy from the ground up. We went from invisible to a dominant presence. The flow of qualified leads has exploded and the momentum keeps building.”

In the Clients' Own Words

I needed somebody who could give me honest advice. I didn’t just want a yes man, and Stephan gave it to me. I wanted to make sure we moved up the charts so that if someone was looking in the Chicagoland area, Florida, or Ohio, they could find Firefly. It became an automatic funnel that flowed for us without hiring an additional person.

The Transformation

Since 1996, Firefly Legal has been a trusted name in civil process serving, completing over 3 million serves across 18,000+ cities. But by 2023, their online presence wasn’t reflecting the caliber of service that had made them an industry leader for nearly three decades.

That’s when they partnered with Stephan Spencer and the team at Netconcepts to align their digital presence with their hard-earned reputation—transforming visibility, credibility, and lead generation in just 15 months.

The Challenge

29 Years of Excellence, But an Online Presence That Didn't Reflect It

Firefly Legal had built an impeccable reputation through decades of reliable service. But when prospects searched online, they found a website that raised more questions than it answered.

Invisible in Search

Despite being an industry leader, Firefly was barely showing up for high-intent keywords. They lacked state and city-specific pages to capture local searches, letting competitors dominate regional markets.

Outdated Digital Experience

The website looked dated and didn't function well on mobile devices—where many attorneys were now searching for process servers.

Generic Positioning

Their messaging didn't differentiate them from commodity providers. The site failed to communicate their "leadership through partnership" philosophy.

Limited Lead Generation

With only 200 monthly organic visitors and weak conversion paths, the website wasn't pulling its weight as a business development tool.

No Content Strategy

Firefly had valuable expertise to share, but no platform or strategy to position themselves as thought leaders in the process serving industry.

Missed Market Opportunities

While competitors were capturing online market share, Firefly's growth was limited to referrals—leaving money on the table.

The Bottom Line

Firefly needed a digital presence that matched their real-world reputation. They needed to be found by the right prospects, trusted immediately, and positioned as the premier choice for professional process serving nationwide.

The Solution

A Multi-Layered Strategy Focused on Visibility, Credibility & Conversion

We didn’t just redesign a website. We built a comprehensive digital marketing engine that would position Firefly as the go-to authority in process serving—and generate qualified leads on autopilot.

Local SEO Domination: State & City-Specific Pages

We created dozens of targeted landing pages optimized for specific states and cities where Firefly operates. Each page was crafted to speak directly to local attorneys searching for process servers in their jurisdiction.

Content Strategy &
Thought Leadership

We developed an “Insights” blog featuring evergreen content that addressed the real questions and pain points attorneys have about process serving, compliance, and legal technology.

Complete Website Transformation

Working with Studio1 Design, we modernized the entire digital experience to reflect Firefly’s professionalism and 29-year track record.

Technical SEO &
Performance Optimization

Behind the scenes, we implemented crucial technical improvements to ensure search engines could crawl, index, and rank Firefly’s content effectively.

Brand Positioning & Messaging

We helped Firefly articulate their unique value proposition: “Leadership through Partnership.”
This wasn’t just tagline work—it was a fundamental shift in how they presented themselves online.

The Key to Success: Strategic Partnership

This wasn’t a one-time project. It was an ongoing collaboration where we continuously optimized, tested, and refined the strategy based on data and results. That commitment to excellence is what transformed Firefly’s digital presence.
