Legal Search Marketing

Archive for the ‘Legal Directory’ Category

If you are a personal injury lawyer, you know how tough the competition is online!  Both for organic SEO and also Pay per click marketing.   If you want to achieve good organic SEO rankings, you need to have good content and links from other quality trusted web sites.

Getting links is not an easy process, one way to get quality links is to get a listing in either search directories such as Yahoo, Best of the Web, Joe Ant or others.

Another option is getting a link from a legal directory and if your a personal injury lawyer, getting a link from a specific personal injury site could make a big difference.

PERSONAL INJURY ACCIDENT LAWYER DIRECTORY

The personal injury attorney directory has listings of the top personal injury lawyers from around the United States.  List your personal injury, auto accident, truck accident, wrongful death or other kind of personal injury related site in the directory today.

The directory has 3 different types of listings starting at $250 per year. This includes a listing on multiple pages using the link text you would like.  This is a Follow directory, which means the links do count. Some directories are “No Follow”, meaning even if you get a link from the site, it doesnt really count as far as potentially improving your organic search engine marketing efforts.

Getting visitors to your website from the Internet is done in a variety of ways including legal directories such as AVVO, Lawyers.com, Law Firm Directory and a variety of other free and paid lawyer directories.

LAWYER DIRECTORIES

There are many different types of lawyer directories including AVVO, Lawyers.com, Law Firm Directory and many other.  Some offer free listings and others offer paid listings.  Some work better then others, meaning some drive more focused and qualified traffic to your site on a consistent basis. Some listings are free, others are very expensive.  We make sure you get the most value for your dollar by listing your site in the directories that will drive the most focused and qualified traffic to your web site.

Getting links from any other site that has a similar theme to your site can be valuable for organic search engine purposes if the linking site is also well linked and ranked. Some directories provide a good link, while others don’t provide any value at all. Sometimes the value a link provides is worth the listing fee alone because it can help your legal site’s link popularity score. Then if your site is also optimized, it can lead to better overall search engine listings. If it also can drive traffic to your site from the directory, then it really is a good value. We will list your web site in our legal directory and a number of other top free legal directories. We then will devise a legal directory strategy for the client and take care of listing the site with premium legal directories in the appropriate legal categories.

One of the many things you have to do in order to get your site well ranked at the search engines is to get links from other well established sites, especially legal sites that are focused on your legal practice area such as DUI, Personal Injury, Tax Law, etc.

Links from other sites are one of the many things that make up how your site is indexed by Google and a pretty important one.  Google looks at links to your sites like Votes for your site, the more votes you get and more importantly the quality of those votes, can go a long way in determining where your site gets ranked in the search engines.

Getting links from legal directories can be one way to obtain a quality backlink to your site, especially if the site your getting the link from is an older well established site and the real key is that the link is a FOLLOW link, versus a NO Follow link. A No Follow link will tell Google to basically not count the link.

Another factor to consider when listing with a legal directory, is where your placed and how much traffic that directory gets per month.   Yet even if you just get 10 visitors a month from the directory, it can be worth it, especially combined with the fact you can also get a quality link to your site.

Someone asked me the other day if listing in online legal directories was a good idea. I of course said yes because I run a legal directory but I have many law firm clients that have had great success with legal directories and it really depends on the directory. 

I have clients that list in many different directories and they usually want to know which directories drive the most traffic.  I have reviewed stats and usually I have found that most legal directories do produce traffic, but some more then others.

Usually the bigger directories like Martindale Hubbell and Findlaw didn’t really bring as many visitors as other smaller legal directories, like Attorney Find or Attorney Locate.   It does depend though on the type of listing you have, the number of categories your listed in and other factors.

It helps if the legal directory is well ranked at the search engines for terms like "find a lawyer", "legal directory", "law firm directory" and also for more specific geographic keyword terms like "Chicago appellate lawyers" or "Illinois tax attorneys".   

Some directories are ranked well in the organic listings, while others just rely on pay per click advertising for traffic.    Getting traffic from the legal directory listing is a good benefit and an added benefit can be the value of the link pointing to your site.

Its good when you have links from other legal related web sites, especially if they are also well ranked, this can boost your web sites legal link popularity score.

Overall I think that legal directories are a good value because usually if you get just one new client per year, it will more then pay for the listing. Research the directory though and make sure they have some search engine exposure, then test them out for 6-12 months and see what kind of traffic they produce.
