Why Law Firms Need Backlinks
Why Law Firm SEO Lives on Backlink Authority.
- Legal keywords have the highest CPC and competition - Organic rankings can’t be achieved with DA needed for keyword placement, and the only type of backlink that can drive that is editorial. Build law firm backlinks that establish topical authority.
01
Legal CPCs make organic rankings worth thousands per month
Monthly earnings from ranking our personal injury lawyer [city] for a budget of $5,000 can be anywhere from $5,000 to $15,000+ and so can be for other criminal defense, family law and estate planning keywords.
02
Google applies YMYL scrutiny to all legal content
As we all know legal content including the disclosure of legal rights, attorneys, law firms and legal procedures come under the “Your Money, Your Life” (YMYL) category of content.
03
Local pack rankings depend on website authority
The terms people search for when looking for a law firm online often include search terms like “lawyer near me” and “[practice area] attorney [city]”.
04
Large legal directories dominate national keywords
Large broad legal searches on Avvo, FindLaw, Justia and Martindale-Hubbell return thousands of results that are tens of years old. Firms can’t hope to compete on a national level with such outdated authority on broad terms.
05
Legal marketing agencies need a reliable fulfillment partner

Typically, a law firm will be content with 5-10 placements per month. However, in competitive markets such as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Houston and practice areas with high CPCs such as personal injury or mesothelioma, we often recommend 15-20+ placements. We start with a 5-10 placement minimum to ensure that you can physically see the movement in rankings and to generate enough qualified leads for you to evaluate the service.
Very important. We already knew that Google considers content relevance when evaluating the YMYL algorithm. Now we know that legal content is also heavily considered. A link from a legitimate law journal, or a law-related editorial site will carry a much higher YMYL value than a generic, high DR, link from a unrelated niche.
