FAQ
Common questions
Can a website redesign hurt a law firm's SEO?
Yes. Redesigns that change URLs, remove content or break internal links without proper redirects routinely cause ranking and traffic drops. The SEO plan has to be part of the redesign from the start, not an afterthought.
What site structure is best for a law firm?
A siloed, practice-area-based architecture where each area has a clear hub and supporting pages. It helps Google understand the firm's expertise and keeps important pages shallow in the click hierarchy.
Does website design affect conversions or just rankings?
Both. Design determines whether the expensive traffic SEO earns becomes signed cases, through clear calls to action, fast pages and easy intake on mobile.
