Criminal Defense Attorney SEO That Ranks Your Trial Record
What every serious prospect Googles is whether you've actually tried cases. We rank your jury verdicts, published appellate opinions, courtroom reputation, and peer-recognized trial authority — ABA-compliant, disclaimer-correct, and built to convince the kind of defendant whose case is worth defending.

The Problems We Fix
Plea-mill firms dominate the SERP with empty 'aggressive defense' copy
Every competitor claims to be an 'aggressive trial attorney.' Almost none have actually tried a case in the last three years. Prospects can't tell the difference from a Google search — which means your actual trial record is invisible on the SERP that matters most.
Your jury verdicts and appellate wins aren't ranking for you
You've won Not Guilty verdicts at trial. You've argued successful appeals. Maybe you've had a published opinion that's now circuit precedent. None of it is connected to your name on Google — it lives in court records and your firm bio with no schema, no authored commentary, no linked authority.
Prospects in crisis pick the first 'available 24/7' ranking
Serious-case prospects — the ones worth representing — do their real research after the first frantic call. If your SERP looks the same as every plea-mill competitor, you lose the retention to the firm whose authored work and trial authority actually rank.
Verdict + Outcome Pages, Compliance-First
Published Not Guilty verdicts, dismissals, and appellate wins each get a schema-tagged page linked to your bio. Every page carries the required 'past results do not guarantee future outcomes' disclaimers, avoids prohibited comparative language, and reads like a peer-reviewed case summary — not an advertisement.
- Not Guilty verdict pages with required disclaimers
- Appellate opinion summaries with citation linkbacks
- Schema-tagged case metadata (venue, charge category, outcome)
- Canonical bio linkbacks from every verdict page
Published Authored Authority
Authored commentary on narrow criminal-law niches — Fourth Amendment developments in your circuit, DUI-related evidentiary standards, white-collar sentencing-guideline application, federal plea-bargaining ethics. The angles no plea-mill competitor will ever publish, ranked for the prospects sophisticated enough to search for them.
- Circuit-specific Fourth Amendment commentary
- Federal sentencing-guideline authored analysis
- Authored CLE teaching content linked to your Person schema
- Bar-section publication archive rendered as indexable content
Bar-Standing + Trial-Board Credibility
Your bar admissions (state + federal district court + circuit court + Supreme Court bar if applicable), NACDL membership, state criminal-defense bar leadership, and trial-board certifications all get marked up with Person schema. Prospects and referring counsel see the verifiable credentials — not just claims.
Charge-Category Content Silos
Federal vs. state, violent vs. white-collar, felony vs. misdemeanor, pretrial vs. post-conviction — each charge category has its own prospect vocabulary and search behavior. We build separate content silos for each area you actually practice, with the schema and internal linking that tells Google you're the authority on that specific charge type.

Real results for a real law firm
You're invisible for the legal searches that matter
We audited an Orlando personal injury firm last month. Their site was barely ranking for the high-intent searches their clients actually type — missing schema, weak title tags, broken internal linking, and content gaps on 8 practice-area pages. After we fixed it, their ranked-keyword footprint exploded — and organic traffic followed.
Zero ad spend behind this growth — pure organic search, directly attributable to the audit fixes.
