E-E-A-T ... does it really impact your rankings in Google? Or is it just another PR scheme to get SEOs chasing their own tails?

First, let's define what it means...

E - Experience

E - Expertise

A - Authority

T - Trustworthiness

This has been around since 2014, but it's becoming a larger topic in the SEO community due to the influx of content, specifically AI generated content.

TL;DW - yes, EEAT matters. In fact, reviewing your law firm's website to ensure you're truly demonstrating to Google that you ARE an expert in the legal space is likely the difference between your current rankings, and first page rankings.

Is your law firm's website picking up more traffic, but not leads?

This is actually a pretty common issue we see with law firm clients, with a simple fix....

...Focus on improving your "bottom funnel" content.

An example of "bottom funnel" content would be your practice area pages (or location pages).

This content maps to people who are in market, directly seeking the services you provide.

It's likely you already know this - pretty much every SEO firm worth their salt will recommend you build these pages.

But you operate in one of the most competitive spaces on the internet...the devil is in the details.

It's not enough to just create a bunch of content and expect it to rank.

Your practice area pages need to follow a very specific formula in order to rank.

In this week's episode of Lawyer Up! (& To The Right), we review examples of law firm's who have mastered the art of "practice area" pages and because of it, are ranking for highly sought after "bottom funnel" keywords.

  • These URLs can create duplicate content, a simple filter change can keep all page elements the same
  • These URLs can eat up crawl budget, especially on large Ecommerce sites

In this episode of "How to Rank", Cesar discusses the best options to deal with faceted search, navigation and the SEO challenges they present.
