About Criminal Defense SEO

What we cover

Criminal Defense SEO covers the search side of running a defense practice: how people look for a lawyer after an arrest, how Google decides which firms appear in its regular results and its map pack, and how AI assistants pick the firms they mention. Each guide focuses on one topic and ends with steps a firm can take itself.

How these guides are researched

We start from primary sources: Google Search Central documentation, Google Business Profile guidelines, schema.org definitions and the ABA Model Rules on lawyer advertising. We add what we see in audits of real defense firm websites, without naming clients. We don’t publish ranking guarantees or statistics we can’t source, and we update guides when Google’s guidance changes.
