We’ve created a simple how-to-guide for you to improve your Law Firm SEO. In Dallas, many law firms struggle with their SEO because they don’t have a structure to follow. In this post, you’ll learn what SEO is and how to implement a winning law firm SEO strategy in 5 simple steps.
SEO for Law Firms can get very competitive, so if your Law firm is getting started in SEO, you shouldn’t try to rank #1 for the highly competitive Keywords. You should create content and structure your metadata using relevant keywords that might have lower search volume, but also has low competition. To analyze this information, you can list your main keywords and then use free tools like Ubersuggest to get detailed information about the monthly search volume, paid cost, PPC difficulty, and the SEO difficulty of these words. You will also get keyword suggestions on relevant terms that might have a lower difficulty rating.
Focus on those mid to low competition keywords and start building content around them.
Analyze your target audience and research how they look for your services. For the highest impact, choose commercially-inclined keywords that indicate the consumer is ready to start a conversation.
Some examples of commercially inclined keywords are:
Once you have picked your Law Firm SEO Keywords, you need to compare your website to your competitors. Google’s Algorithm for ranking websites is very complex and most of the metrics it uses are unknown, but we do know that there are factors that have a big impact on your organic ranking:
Keeping a close eye on how your law firm’s Website is performing vs your competition, is a game-changer in search engine optimization. You can contact us for a free consultation and we can run an SEO Audit on your website.
We’re sure you have already heard this, but it is really important that you build your website thinking not only about how your visitors will use it, but also how search engines will crawl it.
Make sure each page has a Title Tag and Meta Description that includes your keywords. Most websites you’ll see include an SEO plugin in the backend where you can enter in your page’s title and meta description. Most WordPress websites will use a free plugin like Yoast to get the job done faster.
Use heading tags, which give search engines more clues as to the structure and topic of your page. Do not use heading tags for emphasis. Each page should have ONE H1 tag, multiple H2 tags, and if you need them, a few H3 tags.
Ensure your key phrase—and variations of your key phrase—are used throughout your landing pages, but be careful and don’t overdo it.! Keyword Stuffing will affect your SEO. Your main keyword density should not exceed 2% of your page’s content.
Here’s how to calculate Keyword Density:
Keyword Density =
(Number of words in copy) / (Number of times keyword appears in copy)
