Search Engines or Directories for Lawyer SEO?
Search engines computer programs, scripts or code that scour over the Internet seeking web content. The search engines then present the information in to results pages. Google has begun a campaign in recent times of using human editors to clean up their search engine results pages. A majority of their content is developed by automation.
Directories on the other hand are typically human compiled lists of websites that are then organized by categories or topics. Directories take time and effort to maintain because they are human compiled.
When Lawyer Success is finished developing a lawyer web site, we submit the new lawyer website to several or even dozen directories. We prefer to submit to legal directories such as AttorneyPages.com in order to generate traffic to our clients website. Legal directories play an important part in seo because they are so relevant to the lawyer websites we create. That is far more important than just getting a directory listing on any directory.
You should always find the correct category for your website and make sure you are following the directory guidelines when submitting your site for inclusion. Expect to pay top dollar for quality results.
Do Directory Listings of Value?
The value of any one directory link to your website may not always be that effective for law firm seo. The directories that offer an excellent bang for the buck are DMOZ and the Yahoo Directory. Directories add value when you list your website in a number of them because you are listed next to other sites that are in your same vertical.
If your law firm website domain is a keyword-rich domain name, than directory listings may help you get text descriptive inbound links to your attorney website. Since most of your lawyer competition may only have links from a few dozen sites, listing your site in several high quality legal directories and targeting link campaigns from other relevant attorney sites, you will quickly build up a great linking campaign at lower cost.
