must be carefully considered and implemented to ensure proper visibility

Search Engine Optimization:
Search engines use mathematical formulas to determine the rank
of a web page.
These mathematical formulas are called ranking algorithms.
How does Google rank your web pages?
How Google explains the ranking
algorithm on their company pages.
“Traditional search engines rely heavily on how often a word
appears on a web page. Google uses PageRankTM to examine the entire
link structure of the web and determine which pages are most important."
"It then conducts hypertext-matching analysis to determine which
pages are relevant to the specific search being conducted. By combining
overall importance and query-specific relevance, Google is able to
put the most relevant and reliable results first.”
Using effective legal keywords
is the back bone of any Internet Marketing for Attorneys campaign.
Keywords are the words that your potential legal clients enter in the
search engines to find the legal web sites containing the information
they are seeking.
It is important that your law firm’s web site has good search
engine rankings for popular keywords that are related to the theme
of your web site.
It is pointless to optimize your law firm’s web pages for keywords
that nobody uses in the search engines.
Your Internet marketing for attorneys marketing campaign is to capture
targeted visitors, your keywords must not be too broad or too general.
We will help you build a list of the most effective keywords that your
potential clients will use on search engines to find your law firm’s
web site.
Which keywords are the right keywords for your law firm’s web site?
We will develop a list of focused and targeted keyword phrases that
are common enough so the web searcher will use them, but selective
enough that they do not return millions of matches. Very specific
keywords generate highly qualified, targeted traffic that increases
your client base.
- Best to use keyword phrases that consist
of two to four words
- Avoid very competitive keywords
- Be specific to your legal practice and demographic
area.
- Only use keywords that are important and
relevant to your practice.
To have a successful Attorney Internet Marketing campaign, you have
to target the best key words. The content on your web site should
have keywords which are relevant to your site, and potential clients
should be searching for your keywords.

or services than those using fewer words (source: Oneupweb Research
Important steps GP takes when focusing on your keywords.

law firm targeted visitors, instead of keywords with a high
search volume.

that they will attract potential clients that are in need of your
law firm’s services.
- Research your law firm’s competition, to
establish keywords that your potential clients are using to find
other legal web sites similar to yours.

Keyword rich content
The key to successful keyword usage is to create keyword rich content
that will maximize your presence on the web but that will not be excluded
by search engines due to over saturation.
When web pages are published to the search engines they evaluate the
pages with automated programs called spiders.
These spiders index the web site and help achieve maximum placement
on the search engines.
We understand how the search engines operate and help you avoid unethical
practices such as keyword stuffing or keyword over saturation which
can result in lower search engine placement, or, even worse, exclusion
from search engine results.
Part of our Internet Marketing for Attorneys is to create keyword
rich content that places your web site on the first page of search
results for your keywords.
Directory submissions
Once the proper keywords have been determined and the necessary keyword
rich content has been created, your web site must be listed with the
appropriate directories and search engines so people can find it.
While search engine spiders will search published pages to catalogue
your content, direct submissions can speed up the process of Law
Firm Marketing by allowing your legal
web site to be listed
sooner with the various search engines.
Once your legal web site is listed, potential clients will be
able to find your legal web site when they search your keywords. Included
in our Internet Marketing for Attorneys program, we guarantee,
in writing, first page search engine placement when your keywords are
searched.

keyword placement. It is important to understand your potential
clients and what they want to see on your web site.
It will be important to have a visually appealing page, as well as
a page that is rich in informative content. We understand what

Web site monitoring
As important as the design of a web site may be, to ensure the long
term continued success of the site, ongoing monitoring is required.
While your services may remain the same, your marketing approach
should be fluid. Your web site must be evaluated and changes
made from time to time to keep your content and site fresh for effective
Internet Marketing for Attorneys.
One method we use to monitor your legal web site, is to
generate web site positioning or ranking reports that show how your
legal web site is appearing or being ranked on the various search
engines.
Linking campaigns need to be monitored and worked on as well.
Competition Analysis
It is no mystery to legal professionals that the industry is one of
competition. We recognize this and incorporate it into your law
firm marketing strategy by providing an analysis of the competition.
This analysis allows you to see what the competition is doing and also
identifies the potential clients competitors are targeting.
By incorporating this informaOne of the most productive methods of
delivering effective legal internet marketing, first page rankings,
and in generating traffic to your site is through a process known as
linking.
Your law firm’s internet marketing is our first priority, and
we work hard to ensure you are one step ahead of your competition.
Linking
One of the most productive methods of delivering effective legal internet
marketing, first page rankings, and in generating traffic to your site
is through a process known as linking.
Linking is a process whereby your legal web site is linked, or listed
through the appropriate banner on another web page.
You must have good links from related pages that point to your site
to get good results for the Page Rank factor.
It works like this; if page A links to page b then it is a recommendation
from page A to page B. The more links point to your web site, the better
your rankings.
Quality is very important. Links from web sites that contain the keywords
for which you want to have high rankings pointed to your site, is very important.
Links from a web site that has a related topic is much better than links
from unrelated sites or link lists.
This increases the web presence and web visibility of your web site. However,
the process is not as simple as flooding the web with links to your
legal web site.
While this has been done by other web firms in the past, major search
engines actually penalize web sites for this type of linking and can
even exclude these sites from search results.
We analyze top ranking web sites related to your legal web site and/or
services and with the site’s permission, your legal web site
is linked to their site.
This targeted marketing increases traffic to your site and, ultimately,
your web presence.
