-- FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

About SEO for law firms

Why is SEO for lawyers different?
Google classifies legal services as YMYL. This means it requires proof of experience, expertise, authority, and trustworthiness (E-E-A-T) to rank legal content.
Do I need a legal blog?
It is the most effective tool for capturing traffic in the research phase. Someone searching "how does divorce work" could be your next client.
What is an organic lead worth for a lawyer?
It depends on the specialty. A criminal law lead can be worth 200+, family law 100+, employment law 50+. SEO reduces cost per lead compared to Google Ads.
Do you manage the firm's reviews?
Yes. Reviews are critical for professional services. We respond to all of them with appropriate tone and facilitate review requests from satisfied clients.
