Frequently Asked Questions

How competitive is SEO for law firms?

Legal SEO is among the most competitive verticals. Keywords like "personal injury lawyer" can cost $200+ per click in Google Ads. This intense competition makes organic rankings extremely valuable because firms that rank organically effectively receive what would otherwise cost tens of thousands in monthly ad spend.

How do you handle bar advertising rules in SEO content?

We create content frameworks that showcase expertise through education rather than claims about outcomes. Our content focuses on explaining legal processes, rights, and options rather than making guarantees. We review all content against your state bar's advertising rules before publication to ensure full compliance.

Which legal directories matter most for SEO?

Google Business Profile is the most critical for local rankings. After that, Avvo, FindLaw, Justia, Martindale-Hubbell, and Lawyers.com provide the strongest citation signals. We also target state and local bar association directories, Super Lawyers, and practice-specific directories relevant to your areas of focus.

How important are reviews for law firm SEO?

Reviews significantly impact local pack rankings and click-through rates for law firms. Google weighs review quantity, quality, recency, and response rate. We implement ethical review generation strategies that encourage satisfied clients to share their experience while maintaining compliance with bar advertising guidelines.

Should we create separate pages for each practice area?

Absolutely. Each practice area should have a comprehensive hub page plus supporting pages for specific case types. For example, a personal injury firm should have pages for car accidents, slip and fall, medical malpractice, and wrongful death, each targeting specific keywords and local modifiers.

How do you measure law firm SEO ROI?

We track qualified case inquiries from organic search, broken down by practice area and location. We monitor cost-per-lead compared to paid advertising alternatives, local pack rankings for priority keywords, and overall organic traffic growth. The goal is always connecting SEO investment directly to case acquisition metrics.
