Maximum ROI, Low Ad Spend: Sabbeth Law’s Path to Sustainable Growth

How a Personal Injury Firm Replaced Ads with Organic Wins

Scaling with Intention

When Sabbeth Law joined Constellation in 2024, they had already built a reputable personal injury practice, handling 13–18 clients per month without active marketing. However, founder Michael Sabbeth had higher ambitions — he wanted more trial-ready cases, more reach into key markets across Vermont and New Hampshire, and, most importantly, a marketing partner who could deliver measurable ROI.

Michael had worked with previous agencies, but was left frustrated after their team forgot to run his ads — a clear signal it was time for a smarter, more accountable approach.

Michael Sabbeth wanted to grow his case volume — specifically in trucking and auto-related claims — but lacked the visibility to consistently attract them.

Although his firm served multiple regions within a 1-hour radius, his online presence didn’t reflect that coverage, limiting local discovery and client intake.

Past agencies delivered poor results — including one that failed to run his ads — leaving him without attribution, consistency, or a path to long-term SEO-driven growth.

Smart Content, Smarter Spend

Constellation hit the ground running with a strategy grounded in <strong>scalable SEO, performance-first advertising, and transparent reporting</strong>. Here’s how the solution unfolded:

We began by building city-specific practice area pages tailored to the firm’s key markets in Vermont and New Hampshire. Each piece of content was locally optimized, high-intent, and shaped with Michael’s input to reflect the firm’s voice and priorities. Rather than chase broad traffic, we focused on deepening rankings for the most valuable keywords.
