Legal Marketing & SEO Blog

Hi Friends,

I would like to show you a few more samples of Justia's search engine optimized Web sites, before I move on to my post about Google Map's new satellite pictures, and how they can be used with Amazon's A9 street level photos to track...

Below are two more personal injury law firm clients in large metros (Atlanta and San Francisco) and a new Chicago estate planning lawyer client, that are now all doing very well in Web search results for multiple key words and localities. They do especially well in Google, but are also showing high organic result placements in Yahoo! Search and MSN Search.

Ken Shigley is an Atlanta Georgia personal injury and business litigation attorney. He was one of the first lawyers to have a Web site (back in the mid 1990s), and was already doing well for the key words Atlanta Injury Lawyer (his domain name is http://www.atlantainjurylawyer.com :). But his firm was not doing as well for many other key words and phrases, such as Georgia Injury Lawyer, Atlanta Trucking Lawyer, Georgia Trucking Lawyer, Georgia Trucking Attorney or Atlanta Accident Attorney ... Now he is doing well, in fact at the time of this post he is number 1 on page 1 on Google for each of those search terms. He is also doing well on most of those terms on MSN and Yahoo! (#1 for a some of the terms).

Of course the work that Ken did getting links to his Web site over the course of many years has really helped. We made sure he could take advantage of all those links coming to his Web site, by optimizing its structure and page layout.

Bostwick and Associates is a San Francisco personal injury and medical malpractice law firm . Their Web site was not performing well in the Web search engines. We redid their Web site and now... San Francisco Injury Lawyer (#1 - Page 1 on Google), San Francisco Medical Malpractice Lawyer (#1 - Page 1), California Medical Malpractice Lawyer (#2 - Page 1), Kaiser Malpractice Lawyer (#2 - Page 1) and for their Hawaii office, Honolulu Injury Lawyer (#2 - Page 1) and for their Denver office, Denver Injury lawyer (#7 - Page 1). They do well for many other terms as well (eg Anesthesia Injury they are #1 - Page 1).

And of course Chicago personal injury law firm William G. Pintas and Associates is still doing well (in fact even better that they were before :). You can read about how well they are doing for Chicago Injury Lawyer, Chicago Injury Attorney and more in the previous blog post and how William G. Pintas and Associates moved from Google result page 13 with FindLaw to number 1 - page 1 with Justia.

Well those are the first three personal injury law firm Web sites we have released. Three firms, three large metros - Atlanta, Chicago and San Francisco - and three Justia clients doing well in the search engines.

And to show it is not just personal injury firms we are helping, Joel A. Schoenmeyer is a Chicago estate planning lawyer. His site went live last week, and he is doing pretty well for Chicago Estate Lawyer (Google #1 - page 1), Chicago Estate Planning Lawyer (Google #1 - page 1), Chicago Trusts Attorney (Google #3 - page 1), Illinois Estate Lawyer (Google #5 - page 1), Oak Park Lawyer (Google #1 - page 1 - Joel's office is in Oak Park).

In general our client's Google and MSN search rankings have improved relatively quickly after their Web site goes live. Improvement in the Yahoo! results has taken a bit longer, normally a week or two. The primary reason that Yahoo! Search is slower to update is that Yahoo! has the Site Match feed product, where companies pay money to have their Web pages included in the Yahoo! Search Web index, and have them re-indexed on a daily basis. If Yahoo! were to index sites quickly, companies for free it would compete with this paid product. The other search engines, Google, MSN Search and even Ask Jeeves have moved away from paid inclusion (see our take on paid inclusion in the Justia SEO center). That said, the Yahoo! Search results rankings do improve once the Yahoo! index update takes place.

Feel free to visit the Justia SEO center for free information on optimizing your Web site. It is what we read, and we wrote it :) And while talking about free, Justia does offer free Justia template Web sites, although they are not customizable and have less search engine optimization features than our paid offerings (but they are free :)

Or you if you want Justia to build you a custom search engine optimized law firm Web site contact us online or call us at 888.587.8421. We will build and fully SEO your Web new site, at a reasonable price (Justia Web Solutions' Prices), just like the Justia clients mentioned above did a few weeks ago.

Okay enough product marketing... onto Google Maps new satellite pictures feature!

Peace - Tim
