Keyword Research & Strategy
Understanding common estate planning phrases and terminology prepares your firm for visibility when it matters most. Our meticulous keyword analysis uncovers the terminology and questions aging adults turn to while exploring sensitive legacy planning needs online. We identify high-potential keywords indicating those seeking information or services to better target through platform content and technical optimization. With precise data guiding strategy, we boost rankings for valuable early-stage research phrases to retained-service keywords.
Competitor Intelligence
Gaining an edge in a crowded legal field demands analysis into what other estate planning firms target digitally and why. Our comprehensive competitor research examines the search visibility, backlinks, keywords, and content drawing prospects to competing websites. We spot existing ranking gaps to inform campaign focus while uncovering lateral opportunities to outperform rivals. With data-driven competitor insights, we build differentiated organic growth strategies across SEO, web content creation and backlink outreach. Continuous monitoring also exposes shifting threats so we can constantly refine approach.
Local SEO
While some seek general guidance, most urgent estate planning searches happen on phones for lawyers in a specific metro area. Our micro-targeted local SEO strategy hones in on searches by city name for terms like “estate attorney” or “elder law lawyer.” We implement geo-optimized pages, schema markup, GMB profiles, and micro-citation building to stand out locally. With precise localization elements, we convert searchers seeking convenient in-person consultations into clients.
AI Content
Producing pages around estate planning advice demands heavy writing few firms can sustain. Our combination of AI technology and human oversight efficiently develops high-quality, SEO-friendly posts, FAQs and attorney bios at scale. With AI handling initial draft writing for relevant topics, our experts can rapidly refine content while adding nuanced details tailored to your firm. This hybrid approach marries automation and customization to showcase credentials and cases across the myriad of estate planning keywords and questions.
Link Building
The number and quality of external websites linking back to your firm’s pages serve as trust signals informing search visibility. We pursue valuable backlink opportunities on highly relevant legal/financial publications, directories and resources to build authority indicators. Our outreach focuses not just on volume but contextually relevant targets and diversity to appear natural. The gradual building of an authoritative domain footprint results in higher perceived reputation and more prominent estate planning rankings over time.
Technical SEO
Even with great content, site infrastructure issues can undermine visibility. Our technical audits identify problems like site speed, broken links, accessibility issues, and backend weaknesses. We then optimize areas like site architecture, CMS platform, URLs, page loading times, and server configuration. These enhancements provide a fast, seamless user experience while allowing proper crawling and indexing of pages. With a technically sound foundation enabling performance, conversions and organic growth drastically improve.
On-Page SEO
Each site page presents optimization opportunities targeting search terms and questions. Our on-page SEO fine-tunes these pages to boost rankings potential, highlight relevancy, ease indexing, and drive conversions. We implement semantic keywords, headers mapping, media integration, internal links, schema markup and site search optimization tailored page-by-page. This aligns pages to intent while showcasing your capabilities upfront.
Schema Markup
Schema markup enables the prominent display of key details like attorney credentials, practice areas, education and awards in search results. Our proper schema implementation allows us to highlight qualifications from lawyers across your estate planning firm seen when researching within legal-focused platforms. This presents a capable team ready to take on planning complexities. Schema consistently presents relevant expertise signals, driving greater perceived reputation and more click-throughs to your site.
