Posts can be between 100 to 300 words long and can contain any type of content the business sees relevant. The posts can also link back to the business’s website. A tracking link within the post can give the owner an idea of whether or not the post is generating interest in the business. Q&A feature:  This feature allows customers to ask a business owner questions directly on the GMB listing. The business owner can upvote the good questions with their answers so that they appear first in the profile. Giving informative answers and upvoting good questions is one of the best ways to take advantage of the Q&A feature. Chat & SMS:  GMB has a chat feature that can be switched on and linked to a phone number. Business owners can select this feature to receive queries via SMS. The feature enables business owners to reply almost instantly to questions. The response time is displayed on the GMB profile; a quick response time can help the profile rank better in a Google search. Longer Description:  The 750-character description feature gives the profile owner a good opportunity to make a strong case for their business. A short description telling customers a bit more about the business can help generate more interest and customer engagement. The description should be used to talk about the brand and the product in a way that a customer finds useful. Profile owners should use clear and concise language to convey what services they offer. For example, a legal practice can list all the treatments that are carried out at the law firm. Book an appointment:  The book an appointment feature allows customers to contact the business for an appointment directly from the GMB listing. This feature is important because it makes things more convenient for the customer by eliminating extra steps.

Google My Business (GMB) For Attorneys 2019

Featured Content, Google My Business, Google Search Engine, Internet Marketing News /

Google My Business Lawyer Marketing Google My Business (GMB) is more important than ever and should be one of the first things that you do for your law firms Internet marketing strategy. This is basically a big part of what Local SEO is, getting your GMB listing to show up in the Google 3 pack for searches related to your firm’s practice areas. Google is obviously the most important search engine but most people think there is just one set of rankings at Google and usually think of the organic results. Yet there are multiple sets of search results usually. First, you will see the Google paid ads at the top, then you will see the Google map listings, which come from your Google my business listing.  Then you will see the organic search results. Yet really it’s possible that even if your firm low or no organic rankings, you can possibly dominate the local seo results.   What is Google My Business? Google My Business is a free service designed to make it easy for local businesses to manage their listings in Google search results. Anytime you search Google for local services in your area, you have likely seen Google My Business at work. It displays results on a map and lists other important details about businesses, including their contact information, website, and even reviews. Since Google is the premier search engine online, listing your law firm with Google’s My Business is essential for proper search engine optimization or SEO. Your Google my business listing is what controls your listing that comes up in the local search and map results at Google. LAWYER GOOGLE MY BUSINESS MARKETING TIPS 1. Claim your Google My Business Profile If you haven’t claimed your law firms GMB profile, which stands for Google My Business – also known as the local 3 pack – then you need to get this done right away. GMB profiles are some of the first organic listings people see when searching for attorneys and law firms. By default, many firms already have a GMB profile created by Google and sometimes you will find that certain lawyers will have a GMB profile that is created by Google, and sometimes your clients will find this and even though you haven’t claimed or verified this listing, they still can leave you a review. So it makes sense to claim these listings so that you can not only optimize it, but you respond to any reviews you might get. Walk through the following process to claim it: Search for your law firm or attorney name in Google When you see the Knowledge Graph card for your firm, click on the ‘Are you the owner?’ link near the bottom. Start the process of verifying the firm’s ownership. Note that Google will want you to verify ownership in one of two ways – either by phone or through regular mail.  Once you’ve verified ownership, you can edit your GMB profile. 2. Add Photos & Videos to your GMB Lawyer profile Make sure your GMB profile is complete and contains consistent contact information.  Then adding as many images as possible of your law firm can help it rank far better in the local 3 pack.    So add all the existing images you might have put on your blog and facebook. Then create more images and get creative.  Try to have a LOT of images, like 30 – 50! You can do it over time and it seems to make a difference. Here are some image ideas to get you started: show your legal offices on the inside and outside show your firms team, partners, and you describe the areas of law that you practice show your firms logo include your firms’ tag lines, quotes, or other marketing messages You do not want to put generic stock images or videos into your Google listing.  Google wants images that are related to your firm and what your firm does. So this means photos of the people who work at the firm, photos of your locations and the type of law you practice.   If you are a personal injury lawyer, you want to have a number of different images related to personal injury 3. Onsite Website Optimization Onsite SEO are the things done to your website structure to make it rank well, This is one of the most top tasks you can do to achieve good local rankings. Start with a location-based page: Create a location-based page for the keyword phrases you want to rank for. An example could be ‘Chicago auto accident lawyer’ or ‘Michigan Malpractice Attorney.’   Then you can create other location posts for all the different cities, zips, neighborhoods in your area and then interlink them together. Here are some other tips: Include the location in the copy of the page Include the keyword phrase in the title, the headings, meta description and URL of the page Include the keyword as an image file name of any images on the page Include the keyword in any alt attributes of images on the page Add your firms NAP (name, address, phone number) to the header: Your firm’s name, address and phone number should be on the header of every page, but especially on location-based pages or pages that link to your Google my business – GMB profile. This should also be the same information used in other listings around the web. Make sure it’s all consistent. Substantial quality content: Include a lot of useful content on your pages. Most short articles are like 300 words. So articles longer than 500 words is a good start and the longer the better. 2000 words is a really good start and if you are trying to rank for highly competitive keywords, then the longer the better. 4. Citation signals: Mentions of your firm NAP across the web Citations are like links and are the fuel towards getting higher Google local rankings. Building citations is one of the most influential strategies

SEO For Solo Lawyers

General Search Engine News, Google My Business, Law Firm Marketing, Lawyer Marketing Tips, Legal Internet Marketing, Solo Lawyer Marketing /

Search Engine Marketing for Solo Attorneys Are you a Solo Lawyer that needs SEO help?  You really should do all you can with SEO in order to give yourself a chance at beating the big guys of the world.  Its possible for a solo attorney or small law firm to achieve as good or better SEO organic and local seo rankings. Its not easy but it can happen! The key is want to create a shit load of high quality content and just write your ass off.   Just like if you were preparing a brief for a big case and needed to do weeks of research, same thing here. Just write it all down and put it into blog posts. Keyword Research for Lawyers  You always want to do some keyword research to see exactly what keywords make sense to focus on.    Also if you are a personal injury lawyer who lives in Pennsylvania, then there are a lot of possible keyword combinations you could be ranked for.   You want to find keywords related to your practice and location, but also that you can rank for.   You cant rank for personal injury lawyers usually, or just ynt to create a LOT our town and lawyers. Sometimes you have to find long tail keywords and get multiple blog posts ranked for many different keywords. Longtail Keywords for Attorneys Longtrail keywords are just simply searches that contain more then 4 keywords, sometimes 10-12 keywords.    You want to try and rank for all things a user might search that relates to what you do. SO a good thing to do is check a site like Answer the public and find out what questions people are asking.  These are usually longer searches like “What do I do after a car accident?” or “how do I find a great personal injury lawyer? SEO Audits for Attorneys and Law Firms You want to have an SEO audit of your law firm website done and see where you stand right now.   You want to see where your ranked, how many links you currently have how many citations you have and a number of other factors that go into getting your lawyer website ranked at Google.   We can do a video audit that shows where your site is ranked and other key metrics using top paid search marketing tools.      ** Fill out the FREE Consultation Form Content is King and Queen Writing content for your solo law firm website should now be your side job.  Write articles related to your law firms practice areas and what you do in real life.  Do videos where you are talking to people and answering questions potential clients might have.   People like to see real people when hiring a lawyer and if someone sees you talking, it might make a big difference.  You want to write content, create videos, create images and infographics for your law firm practices. Getting Links for Your Solo Law Site You want to make sure you get links to your website and not just to your homepage.  You want to get authority links and relevant links, and hopefully they are DO Follow links, which means link juice passes to your site and you get credit for the link.    If you are a criminal lawyer, you want links from other legal sites, criminal law sites are best.   Yet you want links from everywhere you can get. Social accounts, client sites, directories, legal directories and everything else where you could possibly get a link.  This IS NOT EASY and it usually doesnt happen on its own, UNLESS You create great content that people find and decide to link to because its a great resource.

2018 New Google SEO Ranking Factors for Lawyers – Part 1

Google My Business, Google Search Engine, Google Updates, Lawyer Marketing Tips, Legal SEO Marketing /

Lawyer Google SEO Marketing in 2018 – Top Ranking Factors (1-20) As many lawyers know, Google has recently once again updated how they rank sites and its now more important then ever to have authority on your site and demonstrate that you are an expert in your legal field.   That combined with links, content and other things will get your site ranked higher in Google these days. Google recently released a document which shows that there are at least 200 Ranking Factors, 200!   Some obviously are more important then others, and some have almost no influence.   So its key to know what works in 2018 to get your lawyer website ranked higher, so you can start getting more leads from clients looking for your legal services I am going to cover the first 20 ranking factors today and then make this a 10 part series that covers all 200 ranking factors. RANKING FACTORS 1-20 ;  1. Domain Age: In this video, Google’s Matt Cutts states that: “The difference between a domain that’s six months old versus one year old is really not that big at all.” In other words, they do use domain age…but it’s not very important.  SO maybe its time to get some new domains? 2. Keyword Appears in Top Level Domain: This doesn’t give the boost that it used to. But having a keyword in your domain still acts as a relevancy signal. *** So this means that if you are a Las Vegas Accident Lawyer, there is some benefit of having a domain name of Las Vegas Accident Lawyer.com vs. Smithlaw.com. 3. Keyword As First Word in Domain: A domain that starts with their target keyword has an edge over sites that either don’t have that keyword in their domain (or have the keyword in the middle or end of their domain). 4. Domain registration length: A Google patent states: “Valuable (legitimate) domains are often paid for several years in advance, while doorway (illegitimate) domains rarely are used for more than a year. Therefore, the date when a domain expires in the future can be used as a factor in predicting the legitimacy of a domain.” ** SO This is one of those factors where its a NOBrainer and make sure you register your name for at least 5 years, if not 10.   Its a small thing, but they will add up. 5. Keyword in Subdomain: Moz’s expert panel agrees that a keyword appearing in the subdomain can boost rankings. 6. Domain History: A site with volatile ownership or several drops may tell Google to “reset” the site’s history, negating links pointing to the domain. Or, in certain cases, a penalized domain may carry the penalty over to the new owner. 7. Exact Match Domain: Exact Match Domains may still give you slight edge. But if your EMD happens to be a low-quality site, it’s vulnerable to the EMD update. 8. Public vs. Private WhoIs: Private WhoIs information may be a sign of “something to hide”. Googler Matt Cutts is quoted as stating: “…When I checked the whois on them, they all had “whois privacy protection service” on them. That’s relatively unusual. …Having whois privacy turned on isn’t automatically bad, but once you get several of these factors all together, you’re often talking about a very different type of webmaster than the fellow who just has a single site or so.” **** SO This means do NOT use privacy on your domain name 9. Penalized WhoIs Owner: If Google identifies a particular person as a spammer it makes sense that they would scrutinize other sites owned by that person. 10. Country TLD extension: Having a Country Code Top Level Domain (.cn, .pt, .ca) can help the site rank for that particular country… but it can limit the site’s ability to rank globally. PAGE LEVEL FACTORS 11. Keyword in Title Tag: Although not as critical as it once was, your title tag remains an important on-page SEO signal. *** This is super key to make sure you have unique TITLE tags for each page and try and utilize these to get higher rankings for a wide variety of keywords. Use YOAST SEO to accomplish this 12. Title Tag Starts with Keyword: According to Moz , title tags that starts with a keyword tend to perform better than title tags with the keyword towards the end of the tag.  —> So this means 13. Keyword in Description Tag: Google doesn’t use the meta description tag as a direct ranking signal. However, your description tag can impact click-through-rate, which is a key ranking factor.   Also Google will point out if you have duplicate descriptions tag, so it makes sense to optimize these all. 14. Keyword Appears in H1 Tag: H1 tags are a “second title tag”. Along with your title tag, Google uses your H1 tag as a secondary relevancy signal, according to results from this correlation study: **** You should only have ONE h1 tag per page. 15. TF-IDF: A fancy way of saying: “How often does a certain word appear in a document?”. The more often that word appears on a page, the more likely it is that the page is about that word. Google likely uses a sophisticated version of TF-IDF. 16. Content Length: Content with more words can cover a wider breadth and are likely preferable in the algorithm compared to shorter, superficial articles. Indeed, one recent ranking factors industry study found that content length correlated with SERP position. 17. Table of Contents: Using a linked table of contents can help Google better understand your page’s content. It can also result in sitelinks: 18. Keyword Density: Although not as important as it once was, Google may use it to determine the topic of a webpage. But going overboard can hurt you. 19. Latent Semantic Indexing Keywords in Content (LSI): LSI keywords help search engines extract meaning from words that have more than one meaning (for example: Apple the computer company vs. Apple the fruit). The presence/absence of LSI probably also acts as a content quality signal. 20. LSI Keywords in Title and Description Tags: As with webpage content, LSI keywords in page meta tags probably help Google discern between words with multiple potential meanings. May also

Google Adwords Quality Score (QS) Explained

Google AdWords, Google Mobile, Google My Business, Google Quality Score, Google Search Engine, Pay Per Click Marketing /

Google Adwords Marketing for Lawyers Quality Score, aka QS is super key when it comes down to how the whole Google adwords formula works.      Just because you spend the most money, doesnt always mean you are going to be #1 when bidding at Google adwords. ‘ Google adwords is actually now known as Google Ads but either way its the main pay per click marketing option most lawyers would use in order to drive traffic to the firms website and landing pages.    There are many things that go into doing a Google adwords campaign and its really easy to mess it up and if your bidding on high dollar keywords, which most lawyers are, then it makes sense to bring in a pro that has been doing Google adwords marketing for years and is familiar with everything that goes into it.    The main factor is your QS or Google Quality Score. What Is The AdWords Quality Score? In the simplest of definitions, the AdWords Quality Score is a numerical value given to a keyword that sits between 1 and 10, that then tells the advertiser how relevant Google thinks your keywords, ads, and landing pages are in combination. The lower the score, the more you pay per click. The higher the score, the less you pay per click (notice how I said “click”, not “conversion”). HOW GOOGLE ADWORDS WORKS – ITS NOT WHO BIDS THE MOST If you look at the graphic below, it shows how 4 different advertisers would be ranked based on factors like how much the max bid is, the quality score and then ad rank to determine the actual amount spent per click.     The main thing to notice here is how advertiser #1 has the lowest max  bid, but a high QS. So the bottom line is that they are only paying $1.61 as the #1 advertiser for that keyword, where the advertiser #3 had a max bid of $6 and wound up paying $4.01 as the #3 spot.   Doesnt seem to make sense but it comes down to the formula that I will explain and really its all about the QS, if you can get this higher, you will pay less no matter what. —>  The Max Bid TIMES the Quality Score = AD Rank —> Then the CPC = The Ad Rank of competitor below you / Your Quality Score + 0.01 SO in the example above, the #1 person is bidding $2 times his 10 QS = Ad Rank of 20 Then his cost is 16/10 + 0.01 = $1.61. It call comes down the QS and getting that higher. First here is some basics on Google Quality Scores for lawyers. Let’s start with the GQS basics… Any time that someone searches a term in Google, AdWords may show ad campaigns above and to the side of the organic search results.  I say “may” because ads will only be shown if advertisers are interested in bidding on the keyword contained in the search term. With AdWords, the ads are ordered based on their “Ad rank.”   Your ad’s ad rank is composed of 2 factors: how much you bid (cost per click – CPC) and your quality score. The quality score is Google’s best guess at how useful your landing page is for the searcher of that search term. This can be understood as the ad relevance. It’s composed of many different factors. Since it depends on the specific keyword searched, your landing page will get an individual quality score for each keyword in your advertising campaign. Usually they will cluster around one specific number (from 1 to 10), but sometimes you’ll see significant variation in quality score. —> Read more on PPC Marketing for Attorneys —> Free PPC and Google Adwords Analysis for Lawyers 4 Reasons a High Google Adscore Will Save Your Legal Practice Money Reason #1 – Quality score affects your CPC: Google has a tough job when it comes to AdWords. They want to make money, but, at the same time, they don’t want to lower the quality of their search results. So how do you balance this? Google came up with their ad rank formula. Since your ad rank is determined by some formula involving multiplying quality score by CPC, this means that one way you can decrease your CPC, is by improving your quality score. —> Read the full article on Google Quality Score Google Adwords for Law Firms – Free Analysis Google PPC For Lawyers Let us help you create a new PPC account at adwords OR fix an existing account.   Do you think your account could be working better?

SEO Marketing for Attorneys Is your lawyer website highly ranked?  Is it ranked for right keywords at Google?  Sometimes just knowing what keywords to focus on is half the battle. Then you can write content around those keywords and create videos to use around the keywords. How Do You Get a Lawfirm Ranked at Google? Thats the million dollar question and the easy answer is you pay Google to do it! This is done via Google adwords and some lawyers will do this no matter how well that are ranked at the organic search results or local seo results.     If you want to get your law firm ranked higher at Google, focus on CONTENT.  You want to write 600 plus word posts and the longer the better usually.  You want to keep people on your site for as long as possible.  This is a new ranking signal for Google, User Experience and how well they interact with your site and pages.   If Google sees you have a high bounce rate and that people that find your site leave right away, thats not good for organic SEO.    You want people staying on your lawyer website for as long as possible.   So longer posts, images like infographics and engaging videos can help people stay on your site longer.    This is part of overall formula but solid content and links from other sites are the biggest factors. SEO FOR SMALL LAW FIRMS AND SOLO LAWYERS Search engine optimization (SEO) is a marketing strategy where you work to increase the visibility of a website in a search engine’s unpaid results. SEO is often referred to as “natural,” “organic,” or “earned” results. As a general rule, the earlier (or higher ranked), and more frequently a website appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine. So really most lawyers think that what they want is to be ranked #1 for a term like Chicago Lawyers…. or even the more specific Chicago Tax Lawyer or Asheville Accident Attorney.  Yet really those terms are much more competitive and really wouldn’t bring in a ton of traffic.  So what you want to really focus on are the long tail keyword phrases.  The more content you can create, the more likely your legal website is going to be ranked for a LOT of keywords that you didnt even intend on it ranking for, but that are relevant.   Like obviously if your Just a Chicago Criminal Lawyer, you dont want to be ranked for a Divorce Lawyer term, only terms related to criminal defense in that location.   Yet there are a lot of different types of keywords people will type in when searching, usually they will type in long searchs like “Find a tax lawyer with good reviews in Chicago, Illinois” thats a 10 word phrase.     So the more content you can write, the better your organic SEO results are going to be. —>  FREE LAWYER SEO SITE ANALYSIS  Google My Business for Lawyers Google My Business (GMB) is more important then ever and should be one of the first things that you do for your law firms Internet marketing strategy. Google is obviously the most important search engine but usually people think organic results and where your ranked for certain keywords.   Yet really its possible that even if your firm has low or no organic rankings, you can possibly dominate the local seo results.  This is done by optimizing your GMB lawyer listing and doing a few things that will help get your LAW FIRM ranked on the first page of the search results in the Google local 3 pack.  AKA the Goldmine.
