    What is Law Firm SEO?

    Attorney SEO is a digital marketing tactic that involves optimizing and promoting a law firm’s website to increase its visibility in search engine results pages (SERPs). When executed properly, it’s an effective strategy to get more targeted traffic from potential clients.

    Once it starts working, SEO can scale at a fractional cost, unlike pay per click marketing, such as Google ads, where you must keep increasing your budget. However, SEO requires you to keep up with Google’s constant changes to its algorithm.

    Why Do Medical Malpractice Attorneys Need SEO?

    Essentially SEO will ensure that people looking for legal help can find your attorney’s website and contact you. Here are its top benefits:

    • Increased visibility in your service area:
      Today, when prospective clients need legal representation, they no longer turn to yellow pages — they conduct a Google search. SEO ensures you interject their research for medical malpractice services in your locality.
    • Cost-effective lead generation channel:
      You can leverage numerous digital marketing tactics to get medical malpractice clients. PPC campaigns, for instance, can get you instant traction. Now, SEO takes time to get you qualified leads. But your cost per lead can decrease drastically in the long term.
    • Earn a competitive advantage:
      Many law firms are still reliant on traditional law firm marketing tactics such as TV advertising. SEO offers a relatively level playing field against firms with millions of dollars.

    How Does SEO Work for Medical Malpractice Law Firms?

    Search engine optimization involves a lot of moving pieces. Let’s look at the combination of strategies you need to execute to achieve SEO success.

    Local SEO

    As a local business, medical malpractice attorneys can double dip in SERPs: appearing in both organic search results and the map pack. A sound local search strategy incorporates both of these.

    Begin here:

    1. Optimize your Google Business Profile (earlier called Google My Business)
    2. Get reviews and testimonials from past clients on your profile
    3. Ensure you have a consistent name, address, phone number, and website (NAP + W) across local listings and social media

    Keyword Research

    Is “medical malpractice legal services” the only right keyword to target on your website? Well, many people may search for something related to the criminal defense process. Content marketing calls for understanding your target audience and interjecting their journey at every stage to build trust.

    Your prospects may search for something like, “What is the statute of limitations to file a medical malpractice or negligence claim?” You want to appear in SERPs for all the phrases your prospects search.

    Keyword research using tools such as Ahrefs can help you find them.

    Begin here:

    1. Use tools such as Ahrefs or SEMRush to find low-difficulty keywords related to your legal practice that you can target
    2. Understand the difference between high-intent and low-intent keywords
    3. Plug your competitor’s website in Ahrefs and find the keyword they rank for

    Content Creation

    Content creation

    Your homepage can only rank for one main keyword, such as “medical malpractice lawyer in your [primary service area].” The other relevant keywords you found in the last step will need individual pages. Depending on the keyword’s intent, you can craft blog posts or practice area landing pages for each one. 

    Ultimately you want to create optimized content for all the keywords related to your services and establish your topical authority in the eyes of Google.

    Begin here:

    1. Start writing legal content for every keyword on your list
    2. Use on page SEO tools like Surfer SEO to optimize your content
    3. Try to improve your attorney website’s E-E-A-T

    Link Building

    To establish your site’s authority in Google’s eyes, you need “votes” from other websites. Called backlinks (clickable hyperlinks from other websites to yours), they are one of Google’s algorithm’s most prominent ranking factors.

    The more competitive keywords you target, the more backlinks you need to rank on the first page of Google.

    Begin here:

    1. Create a profile on prominent legal directories to earn some free links
    2. Sign up as a source on HARO for subjects you have expertise in

    If your website isn’t crawlable and indexable by Google Bots, all of the above SEO efforts will go to waste. Further, you want your website’s design and user experience to reflect your law firm’s brand.

    Begin here:

    1. Use the search operator “site:YourLawyerWebsite.com” in Google to check your website’s indexed pages
    2. Use the free Ahrefs Webmaster Tools to crawl and check your site’s current health
    3. Get feedback from your website’s users if they can easily find the information they are after

“Working with On The Map for almost two years has been a game-changer. When we first started our own practice, we lacked a natural online presence. We began our SEO campaign with the sole purpose of generating natural leads… Here we are two years later and not only are we ranking competitively in multiple cities across our state, but we are receiving on average 90+ Phone Calls a month.”
