Array Digital’s range of law firm SEO services

Keyword research

SEO for lawyers starts with keyword research. Finding the right search terms is the cornerstone of an efficient SEO strategy. We first identify the keywords for which your site currently ranks. Then, using a thorough competitor analysis process, we pinpoint frequently searched queries and create a cumulative strategy to be executed via content creation.

This strategy can be reworked in order to meet your needs and still keep its SEO value. To do this, we combine your knowledge of the law and past client experiences with our institutional knowledge of SEO and keyword research methods.

• High-volume keyword research
• High-intent converting keywords
• Create a list of effective targeted keywords

On-page optimization

On-page optimization (aka on-site SEO) refers to the practice of enhancing specific web pages to improve a website’s search engine rankings and earn more traffic. This includes extensive coding, building an internal website structure, and content variables to rank certain web pages for specific keywords.

Well-written, informative, and engaging content works in tandem with on-page optimization. This joint process includes optimizing each webpage’s title tag, meta description, headings, alt text for images, building internal links, and more.

At Array Digital, we follow SEO best practices that are in compliance with Google’s standards. Your website will climb up in the search engine rankings and, in turn, drive more traffic and new cases to your law firm.

• Optimized headings, tags, and link structure
• Best practices that exceed industry standards
• Improved rankings and increased website traffic

Technical SEO for lawyers

Technical SEO is the process of optimizing your website and its server to ensure optimal site health and security. A website with several technical SEO issues will experience ranking instability, especially after the release of a Google Core algorithm update. Technical SEO communicates crucial information to Google’s crawlers through the use of updated sitemaps, structured data, and site speed.

A healthy site breeds improved keyword rankings. The better your rankings, the more leads you can anticipate from your website. This is an ongoing effort in which our firm specializes.

• Make crawling and indexing by search engines easier
• Perform ongoing technical audits and optimization
• Maintain websites for health and speed

Link building strategies

Link building for lawyers (or backlinking) is the process of getting other websites to link back to your law firm’s website. This is still one of the most important factors in SEO because links are a signal to Google that your site is a quality resource. Google ranks websites with more backlinks higher in the search results.

We obtain high-quality, credible links from authoritative and niche websites to show Google that your site is trustworthy. This increases what is known as your website’s domain authority, and Google ranks sites with more domain authority higher in the results.

We also use an interlinking strategy, connecting pages on your website to one another. Interlinking allows users to more easily navigate your website, and it connects your content. It also helps Google’s crawlers identify the most important pages on your website (i.e., your practice area pages), which is an important ranking factor. Using the right internal linking strategy further boosts your SEO.

• Obtain high-quality backlinks
• Incorporate interlinking strategy
• Boost domain authority

Citation building for lawyers

Citations are another key factor in local SEO for lawyers. Citation building is the process of sending out consistent, accurate, and relevant information about your business to online listing directories and review sites so that search engines and potential clients know when, how, and where to find your firm.

Having your law firm listed accurately on numerous trusted websites sends signals to Google that your practice is a more credible, trustworthy result to deliver in search results to its users.

• Ensure the accuracy of listings
• Build new listings across the web

Performance ready websites

Search is an extremely important client acquisition strategy. That’s why every legal website we build is designed with your target audience in mind. We start with the high-intent keywords your potential clients use when they need legal services. Then, we drill down into more specific queries to cast a larger net in the search engines.

We structure your site to exceed Google’s SEO standards to ensure it is easily crawled and indexed. Then, we leverage the numerous behind-the-scenes complexities of technical and on-page SEO to build a site that is ready to be found often and high in search results when potential clients are seeking your services.

• E-E-A-T SEO approach (experience, expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness)
• SEO-friendly site architecture
• Fast and healthy websites

Content for SEO

Content is another key factor in your online success. It has a direct effect on SEO, the effectiveness of your website, and your overall marketing campaign. Our team creates keyword-focused content that conveys your unique brand, persuades your visitors to contact your law firm, and ensures your website is found in search engine results. We report to you on keyword position changes frequently so that you have insight into our decision-making process.

We write content for practice area pages, location pages, blog articles, and more that are relevant, engaging, informative, and compel the user to take the desired action. These pages are all keyword-focused to achieve your law firm’s goal of being found in your desired Google searches and converting users into clients.

• Search optimized content
• Consistent keyword performance tracking
• Collaborative approach
