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.

  • Avoid very competitive keywords
  • Be specific to your legal practice and demographic area.
  • Only use keywords that are important and relevant to your practice.

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. 

Legal web site design

The design of your legal web site is as important as your keyword and 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 your potential clients want to see on your web site and we can help you adapt your internet presence to best attract new clients

All the while, by keeping in mind the importance of search engine marketing, we will help you create web pages that your potential clients will find and come back to when they start their search for an attorney.

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.

Press Releases and Newsletters

Your press releases and articles will be published on your legal web site, as well as being sent to a variety of search engines and other legal outlets.

>Press releases and articles also help to create credibility as well as being perceived as an expert in your field.
