Attorney Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of programming a law firm’s website and inner web pages in order to increase it’s readability to the search engine robots while also improving the value of the web pages as calculated by the search engine algorithms.

By performing attorney search engine optimization, the volume and quality of traffic to a website from search engines through natural or organic (unpaid) search results. Search engine optimization or SEO, when prepared and maintained by an SEO expert can position a law firm website at or near the top of the search engine results page. The higher a website or web page is positioned or appears in the search results results, the more search engine visitors that website will receive from the search engine.

Attorney search engine optimization experts typically target several different types of search opportunities such as video search, image search, local search, and industry-specific vertical search engines. These techniques develop a law firm website’s web presence.
