How SBD Marketing helps defense firms publish environmental crime resources
SBD Marketing works only with criminal defense law firms, and only with one firm per city. For firms that defend environmental cases, that includes building and ranking the kind of resources described here.
- Resource hubs that rank for specific searches
A main page and topic pages built around the phrases people use after a search warrant or subpoena, structured so Google can understand how they connect. - Visibility in AI answers
Accurate, sourced pages that ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity can cite when a compliance manager asks how the Clean Water Act’s criminal provisions work. - SEO audits for niche practice pages
A review of how your environmental crime pages perform, what searches they miss and where the content needs updating after legal changes.

Five checks for your environmental crime pages
Each of these can be done in a few minutes and often turns up something worth fixing.
Check your penalty figures
Compare every penalty amount on your site with the current text of 33 U.S.C. 1319(c). Old or rounded figures undermine trust.
Look for a review date
Any page discussing which waters are covered should show when it was last reviewed, since the definition has changed several times.
Read for tone
Remove headlines built on fear or language that dismisses pollution concerns. Professional readers notice both.
Search the phrases your readers use
Try searches like “EPA search warrant” or “Clean Water Act grand jury subpoena” and see whether any defense firm answers them well.
Link to primary sources
Make sure each page links to the statute or agency source it describes, so readers can check it.
