Mike Lowe
Mike has spent his career on one question: how do people in high-stakes moments find and choose a provider, and what makes a business the one they choose?
He answers it for injury law firms, mass tort firms, dental practices, and plastic surgeons, across Google, Maps, and the AI answers people now read first, and he measures the work in signed cases and booked patients, not clicks.

The Trail So Far
A look at the defining moments behind Mike’s career – from early hands-on marketing experience and launching Growth Saloon to building expertise in high-stakes search, where every click can lead to a meaningful business decision.
What Mike Believes
Three vendors will give you three different plans: more content, more links, pivot to AI. You shouldn't have to become a search expert to know whether your growth plan is real. These four positions are how Mike decides what's real.
Search is an intake channel, not a marketing channel.
The person searching is hurt, in pain, or ready to decide. The job is to put your business in front of them at that moment and turn the visit into a signed case or a booked patient. Anything measured short of that is a vanity metric.
The business that gets found first usually wins.
72% of accident victims contact only one firm, and patients behave the same way. In these verticals, second on the page is often no win at all.
AI has already changed how your customers find you.
77.67% of legal search queries now trigger an AI Overview, the highest of any industry, and LLM-referred visits to legal sites doubled between early 2024 and mid-2025. The playbook that ranked you in 2019 does not decide who gets recommended in 2026.
If a report can’t be reconciled with revenue, it isn’t a report.
Every campaign should show the path from a search to a signed case or booked patient, and what that outcome cost. That's marketing attribution, and it's why Mike's clients know exactly which pages pay for themselves.
