If you’re new to this area of online marketing for law firms, “SEO” is short for “search engine optimization”. It’s a set of practices designed to help you organically and sustainably develop a presence in your territory — whether that territory is geographical or a set of niche practice areas. The what, how, and why of that is all covered in this article:

What Is SEO? You’re Looking at It Right Now

First, let’s take a look at what SEO is. You’re currently reading an example of a search-engine-optimized article.

That means we have two goals. Apart from informing you about the services available at FORWARD Lawyer Marketing, we also want to maximize our position on Google and on other search engine results.

You’ll see phrases such as “marketing for personal injury lawyers” or “SEO for personal injury attorneys” throughout. We’ve inserted these phrases based on research into how people use search engines.

In short, we discover the exact phrases that our potential clients use when looking for the services we offer. We then insert these keywords or key phrases into the natural language of the articles at a pre-determined rate. This matches searches with our website content.

Beyond Keywords — Comprehensive SEO Strategy

There’s more to it than that, of course. Search engines track a variety of aspects of website content and viewer behavior. Additionally, other things can change rankings, directly or indirectly. Almost every detail matters:

  • How long people spend reading your page, on average
  • Other user behavior, such as clicking through to other pages
  • The length, quality, and originality of the content
  • The hyperlinks to and from the content
  • The file format of the website content
  • The presence of multimedia content, such as pictures or videos
  • The location of the person searching

Search engines are complex systems with a simple goal: showing searchers the information they want. They use all of these data points to improve that process.

There’s more: Google makes a great deal of this data available to you. That means we can set up or use tracking, basing your SEO strategy on information specific to your unique website visitors.

If you’re getting the traffic you want, we can refine your strategy by focusing on the types of pages that work. If you hope for a different type of result, we can implement data-based strategies based on in-depth analysis of your site and guidance from comparable firms.

What Types of Personal Injury Practices Need SEO?

Most personal injury lawyers need SEO. There are a few potential exceptions, such as insurance defense.

Practices that depend on longstanding relationships with insurance firms generally do not need leads from the internet. However, SEO could still be useful for brand development purposes or to craft quality content.

Our optimization services help rank higher and generate more leads for many different types of injury lawyers. More visibility equals more clicks, and more clicks equal more clients.

We almost always recommend some investment in SEO. The reason is simple: At its base, SEO is just a set of best practices for writing web pages and publishing quality information on the internet. Quality content not only increases search engine ranking but also gives your current and existing clients something they can use

That said, there are some times when it’s absolutely essential to be competitive with your search engine strategy. Namely, you want to focus on the details when facing:

  • High volume of search activity 
  • Large number of potential good results from your competitors

It all comes down to competition. Here are some of the highest-value personal injury practice areas online at the moment:

  • Mass torts and/or class actions
  • Motor vehicle accident injury
  • Commercial vehicle accidents
  • Toxic torts
  • Harassment and assault
  • Premises injury and animal bites
  • Construction accidents
  • Workers’ Compensation law and third-party claims
  • Social Security
  • Aviation and mass transit accidents
  • FELA, Jones Act, and other occupational injuries
  • Medical malpractice and other professional malpractice
  • Nursing home abuse
  • Wrongful death

If you didn’t see your practice area in that list, SEO will still help. During our consultation, we can determine how many people are searching for your area of the law and whether this strategy makes sense in terms of ROI.
