    What Our SEO for Lawyers Services Include

    We make individual attorneys and their case experience findable before referrals choose another firm.

    (06)

    Making each attorney findable by name

    We give every attorney one page that is clearly theirs, then state their name, jurisdiction and credentials the same way everywhere else. A search engine can only rank a person it can identify.

    Bios written for the person choosing a lawyer

    People choosing a lawyer want to know what you handle, how you work and why they can trust you. Education still matters, but it comes after the details that help them call.

    One topic, one partner, one page

    When two partners target the same phrase, a search engine picks one of them. We assign each topic to one attorney and one page, then write it down so the next hire does not reopen it.

    Admissions and honors Google can read

    A credential buried in a paragraph is something a search engine has to guess at. We state admissions, certifications and honors plainly enough that it does not have to.

    Getting past the profile sites

    We claim the third-party attorney profiles where we can and correct them where we cannot. Then we build out the pages only your firm can publish.

    A launch checklist for every new partner

    From week one, their page, their profile claims and their first signed article each have a date against them. The reputation they arrived with starts working for you while it is still fresh.

    Attorney visibility challenges

    Why your attorneys are hard to find

    SEO for lawyers can fail even when the firm-level pages look fine. The problems below appear when the firm has not assigned ownership for individual attorney visibility.

    Diagnose my site
    01

    Name searches land on third-party profiles

    Referrals often search the attorney by name before contacting the firm. We strengthen attorney pages so your own site becomes the best result.

    02

    Bios do not help clients choose

    Attorney bios need to explain what the lawyer handles, how they work and why they are credible. We rewrite bios around the decision to contact.

    03

    Directories outrank attorney pages

    Third-party profiles can outrank the firm for lawyer-name searches. We claim, correct and support those profiles while improving the pages only your firm controls.

    04

    Partners compete with each other

    Two partners handle overlapping work, and each has a page chasing the same phrase. Search engines pick one, and it is rarely the one you would have chosen.

    05

    Legal content lacks authorship

    Legal articles need a named attorney, clear credentials and review proof. We make authorship visible so search engines, AI tools and readers know who stands behind the page.

    06

    New attorneys are hard to find

    Laterals and new partners need pages, profile updates and signed content quickly. We make their reputation visible before old profiles keep capturing the search.

    Our process

    Our SEO for Lawyers Process

    (06)
    Phase 01

    Attorney name visibility audited across search

    We run each attorney's name and record what comes back. Then we read the bio pages and the third-party profiles, and check how consistently each name and credential appears.

    Phase 02

    Attorney searches separated from matter searches

    Some people already have your name. Others only know their problem. We map both, then give each search a single attorney and one page.

    Phase 03

    Attorney bios rewritten and signed by each lawyer

    Each attorney gets a draft of their own page to read. Nothing goes live until that attorney has approved what it says about their matters and their credentials.

    Phase 04

    Attorney-authored content published under real names

    We research and draft; the attorney adds the judgment and signs it. We set the cadence to what the legal team can realistically sustain.

    Phase 05

    Legal profiles claimed or corrected

    Profile cleanup runs alongside the writing rather than after it. You get a log showing each platform, what changed there and what the source refused to change.

    Phase 06

    Attorney-name inquiries reported by source

    Calls and form submissions are tied back to the attorney and the page behind them, and matched to your intake records where your system allows. A partner can then see what their own name and their own writing produced.

    Get started
    Referrals you already earned

    Someone was given your name and searched it before calling.

    An attorney-name search is the search closest to a decision, and many firms forget to prepare for it. The caller already trusts the recommendation. They are only checking that nothing they find contradicts it.

    Searches for an attorney's own name, straight after a recommendation
    People verifying a decision rather than starting a search
    Matter searches in the markets where that attorney actually appears
    Why it holds

    An attorney's authority follows them and outlasts the campaign.

    Signed writing, stated credentials and claimed profiles build up against a person rather than against a monthly budget. Years later those pages are still answering the same questions and still earning links.

    Authorship that compounds against a name instead of an ad account
    Matter explanations that keep answering the same question years later
    A structure a new partner joins instead of starting over

    What you get

    SEO for Lawyers Deliverables

    Attorney SEO services are tracked by named lawyer, not only by the firm as a whole.

    Month One
    Audit & Mapping
    What comes back for each attorney's name — One row per attorney: what ranks for their name today, which profiles sit above them, and where their stated credentials disagree.
    The two search tracks, mapped separately — The names referrals already type, kept apart from the words people use when they have no name yet.
    Who owns which topic, in writing — A written record of which attorney owns which topic.
    Your pages read against the bar rules — Every existing attorney page checked against your jurisdiction's advertising rules, with anything needing a change listed before new writing starts.
    Months 2-3
    Build
    A rewritten page for each attorney — One page per attorney, covering the matters they take, how they work and the questions a caller asks.
    Admissions and practice spelled out for search engines — Each attorney page carries their admissions, certifications, jurisdiction and practice in a form search engines can read.
    Articles signed by the attorney who knows the subject — Researched and drafted pieces are published under a named attorney on their assigned topics.
    A record of every profile we claimed — Every third-party attorney profile found, claimed or corrected, with a note of what changed and what the source refused to change.
    Ongoing
    Reporting
    Attorney name-search rankings — Positions for each attorney's own name and for their assigned matter terms, tracked separately so every improvement points back to a person.
    What each attorney's page brought in — Calls and forms attributed to the attorney and the page that produced them, so each partner can see what their own visibility returned.
    Who is publishing and who is behind — Which attorneys are writing on their assigned topics, which have slipped and where a topic currently has no named owner at all.
    New hire SEO setup status — For every recent arrival, the report shows whether the page is live, profiles are claimed, topics are assigned and the first signed piece has published.
