Mateja Matic is the founder of Dominate Marketing, a specialist SEO and PPC agency serving personal injury and criminal defense law firms in the United States.
He started working in SEO and PPC at age 18 at a New Zealand agency serving local businesses, spent six years there, and founded Dominate Marketing in 2019.
After an early focus on automotive businesses, a referral to a Sydney law firm pulled him into legal marketing. Since then, he has worked with law firms across New Zealand, Australia, and the United States, including firms in California, New York, Texas, Colorado, and Arkansas.
His current focus is personal injury and criminal defense, the most competitive segments of legal search.
He is known for a specialization-over-breadth approach: working with a small number of firms at any time, handling the work himself rather than delegating to junior staff, and prioritising signed cases over vanity metrics.
