9 SEO Metrics and Terms that Law Firms Need to Understand

SEO Analysis
In today’s digital world, search engines such as Google, Bing and Yahoo! have become powerful tools that play a large role in the success or failure of many companies in various industries. Ranking high in search engine results can help a law firm gain new clients and strengthen their brand. When a law firm appears on the first page of search results for key terms, whether the consumer is actively searching for the firm or not, it can directly result in leads and sales. The consumer will start to recognize the firm’s name and build perceptions of the firm just by seeing their name at the top of the page. Having low results in search engine queries can hurt your law firm as much as good results can help. No matter the circumstances, all law firms should be on the first page for a certain term, such as their firm’s or attorneys’ names.

Web Design

The internet is now the main way for law firms to gain exposure. It’s an easy and fast way to get found, communicate with clients, and bring in new business.

What should the site include? How can I maximize the return on my investment? These are all questions that can be answered by considering a few important factors to gain traffic and build your reputation.

 

Domain Name

The domain name is the primary way to brand your site. This is what will be typed in the search bar to locate your site. Using a .com domain is best because of its popularity — many individuals believe that .net sites are less reputable.

You want your web address to be simple, but including a keyword can help SEO (ex. www.longislanddivorcelawyer.com). Something long and difficult to remember may result in loss of visitors to your site.  We recommend using your firm’s name or a keyword-based description.

Search engine optimization (SEO) is absolutely critical to modern marketing. With millions of new Web pages flooding the Internet every day, search engines are forced to sift through the clutter and develop a ranking system to prioritize websites.
