What Matters in Law Firm SEO

There are hundreds of search engine ranking factors, but not all ranking factors have
equal weight. These are the ranking factors that you need to focus on for law firm SEO.

On Page Content

Your first step in your SEO journey is to make sure you have content on your site that, when indexed by search bots, gets you recognized as relevant for your target searches.

Your main navigation, and footer navigation, have huge impact on how search engines view your content - because the terms in your navigation (1) appear on every page of your site and (2) provide strong internal link signals telling google about the purpose of your internal pages.

Page titles, and the first two levels of headers on your pages send strong content relevancy signals to search engines. Your on page CTAs (Calls to Action) can make or break your conversion rate.

Capture traffic from hyper specific searches with tailored blog posts. Blog posts increase your content depth for broader keywords, and bring in higher-converting traffic from specific searches. Why pay in PPC for clients you can attract for free?

Mobile Optimization

Search engines have gone mobile-first, they rank sites based on how easy it is to access relevant content from a mobile device. This means to rank, your site needs to be fast, and accessible via mobile devices.

Your site should adapt to all screen sizes dynamically, ensuring all content is still viewable and easily accessible.

Over half of mobile users will bounce if a site takes more than 3 seconds to load. In order to rank your site needs to be fast, from the image assets, to plugins, to fonts.

Local SEO

Many searches related to legal services are location-specific. Often location-specific terms are lower competition and easier to rank for — if your site is properly optimized.

The most important local ranking factor for Google is your Google My Business profile, it needs to be setup completely & correctly.

Reviews are a huge factor in whether a site is included in the map pack and/or localized organic results for local searches.

If you want to rank for local services, you need to have your Name, Addresses (or service Area), and phone number on your site.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the restrictions on PPC for law firms?

Law firms face PPC restrictions set by the ABA, set at the state level, and set by platform.

ABA Code of Conduct Restrictions for Attorney Advertising

For example, according to Rule 7.1 from the ABA guidelines for professional conduct:

“A lawyer shall not make a false or misleading communication about the lawyer or the lawyer’s services. A communication is false or misleading if it contains a material misrepresentation of fact or law, or omits a fact necessary to make the statement considered as a whole not materially misleading.”

For example, law firms cannot claim to be the “best” or “top” law firm without adequate supporting evidence.

Also from Rule 7.1:

“(a) A lawyer shall not make or sponsor a false or misleading communication about the qualifications or the services of any lawyer or firm. A communication is false or misleading if it: (3) is likely to create an unjustified expectation about results the lawyer can achieve, or states or implies that the lawyer can achieve results by means that violate these rules or other law;”

To stay on the good side of this rule you need to avoid language like “We will win your case,” and be very careful about language around the worth of an individual’s case.

Similarly, under Rule 7.4 you have to be careful about using the words “expert” or “specialist” referring to specific areas of law or types of cases. If you claim to be a specialist or expert you also need to name the certifying organization in the ad itself.

State Bar Restrictions for Attorney Advertising

ABA restrictions can be compounded by state-level bar restrictions – like Colorado’s bar which carte blanche does not certify attorneys as specialists.

Platform Restrictions

Platforms are taking privacy more seriously, which means you should not be able to draw direct conclusions around personal attributes of an individual based on whether or not they click your ad.

This means instead of using language like “Were you wrongly convicted?” you need to make broader statements — e.g. “We work to overturn wrongful convictions.”

Personal attributes can include items such as age, religion, financial status, criminal record, state of health, and more.

Can I review link building content before it’s posted?

Content used for link building will never make false statements, it will always position your firm positively, and it will never masquerade as content written or distributed by your firm. In most cases this content will not mention your firm by name, but rather will like your firm’s site content via relevant cnchor text (ex: personal injury attorney).

An example could be anm article like “5 things to do if you get into a car accident in Santa Monica, CA”. The article would likely address high-accident areas in Santa Monica, what local authorities recommend to stay safe (ex: pull off the road, calll law enforcement, stay in your car), use time to contact a reputable personal injury attorney., get checked by medicalstaff for injusries… etc.

Because this content is pitched to 3rd party publications, we do not have control over final edits or ultimate publication and do not offer pre-approval. However if there’s ever an issue we will make it right!

What do you consider a “market” for market exclusivity?

If you’re a personal injury lawyer in Santa Monica, CA that handles motor vehicle accidents, we won’t take on another personal injury firm that handles vehicular accidents in Santa Monica or the immediately surrounding areas.

If you’re a national law firm in the United States targeting mesothelioma cases, we won’t take on another law firm targeting mesothelioma cases in the United States.

Can I pick the publications for our law firm link building?

No – and any link building or SEO company that offers you this option without sponsored content attributes should raise warning flags for you and your team.

Organic outreach invovles rejection. A lot of it. Some publications aren’t interested in a particular angle, they may have recently published similar content, or they may clean out certain reference links in the content.

We can guarantee SEO metrics for a backlink, and delivery within 30 days, but we have to go through a rapid pitch process to get there and will not guarantee individual publications.

Can you tell me more about how you handle PPC & Ads?

Sure, this is our general process for PPC and Ads:

1. SEM Consultation

We meet briefly with your firm, discuss opportunities and recommendations – as well as make sure we fully understand your ideal type of client.

2. Keyword Research & SEM Strategy

We complete our post-meeting research and propose a SEM strategy (if we’re also managing your SEO we’ll provide a comprehensive coordinated strategy), including target keywords, recommended geofencing, remarketing strategy and more.

3. Landing Pages

Once the overall strategy is approved – we’ll identify, reccomend, or create landing pages for the ads.

4. Ad Creation

Our team will handle all copy and creative for your ads. All you’ll need to do are the final approvals.

5. Campaign Setup

We’ll setup all ad groups, tests, ad scheduling, keyword match types, and long tailed keywords to maximize the reach and impact of your ads. 

We’ll also setup basic conversion tracking so we better understand the true end to end of your campaign.

6. Precision Targeting

During campaign set-up we get into the nitty gritty of maximizing your budget, this includes everything from negative keywords to Ad Extensions, to device-based bid adjustments, to geofencing. 

What’s geofencing? It’s the ability to restrict ads to specific locations. For example, if you wanted to target people who have been in accidents, we could geo-fence major local hospitals.

7. Tracking

Our custom pixel will help you understand the true full journey of your users from introduction to conversion. Connect us to your CRM and we’ll even report on the exact dollar value of each ad and ad group.

8. Quality Score Improvement

Not all ads are viewed as equal, Google effectively charges sites with lower quality scores more per click, and ranks them in lower ad positions. Part of budget optimization includes improving the quality score of your ads.

9. Retargeting & Display Ads

Iniital SEM ads are traditionally the most expensive ad “click” in the user journey. Display and retargetting ads are traditionally cheaper, with higher conversion rates as they’re the 2nd or 3rd interaction that a user has with your business. Stay in front of potential clients and use your budget more wisely!

Additional Ad Services:
  • Call-Only campaigns: used primarily for mobile traffic, these ads skip sending users to your website, and only enable a direct call.
  • Social Ads: Test the impact of ads on facebook, twitter, and instagram. Depending on your space these ads can be very high-return. and allow for hyper-specific targeting.
  • Conversion Optimization: Use our custom pixel to optimize for the traffic you’re best at closing. Want to be closing a different type of client? We can help you understand the messaging and landing pages needed.
