Attorney / Lawyer SEO
-
Hey Guys,
How do you handle keywords for an attorney going after local keywords.
City, Keyword Attorney? Example: Dallas, TX DUI Attorney
City, Keyword Lawyer? Example: Dallas, TX DUI Lawyer
City, Keyword Attorney / Lawyers? Example: Dallas, TX DUI Attorney / Lawyer?
Looking forward to good responses!

I thought you were mainly interested in keyword research and not about on-page SEO. In that case, Irving's answer is good.
For your title tag, you could also use the lawyer's name to keep it more natural i.e.: "DUI Attorney in Dallas John Doe" or "John Doe DUI Attorney in Dallas TX"

Great answer and thank you!

Yes, I understand that. You build the page titles based on what people are searching for. I don't have time to do any testing, thus the reason I asked the board for their expert opinion.

main keyword first and then secondary. the most important main keyword should be at the beginning of your title tag. so depending on the keyword research, probably something like:
DUI Lawyer in Dallas Texas | Drunk Driving Attorney in TX
DUI Attorney in Dallas TX | Drunk Driving Lawyer in Texas
EDIT: note both state and abbreviation are included, and secondary keywords (going on intuition here based on a previous client) "attorney" and "drunk driving"
ALSO:
Make sure your Google local and + page is set up and completed with all your info and website. Local searches will show places pages and you want to be in the 7 pack! at least and even better at the top of that pack. Have clients take the time to give you positive reviews on your places + page too, very important!

To come up with good local keywords, you have to think as if you were one of his potential customers:
I don't usually search like "Dallas, TX dui attorney" but instead "dui attorney in dallas" or "dallas dui attorney" or "dui lawyear in dallas tx".
Come up with all possible variations and see what works best. I would even recommend you to set up a test adwords campaign using exact matched keywords and see which ones have the most traffic. You can also use phrase and broad match to find new keywords.

Does any experienced SEOs know of credible, basic SEO videos that the SEOs that make them don't give out backward information. Good quality videos. I will keep looking, but please, if anyone has some gems send them my way. Thanks. Bob

SEO'd Title Tag for Product Pricing Page with Little to No SV for Product Pricing Related Terminology
Hello, What should one do about a title tag for product pricing page (of a SaaS company)? The only keywords/phrases that have SV are "Acme Pricing" "Acme Product Pricing" and "Acme Solutions Pricing", but obviously I don't want to use all three since "Acme" and "Pricing" repeat in all three. Should the title tag just be "Acme Pricing"? In past experiences, a title tag that short typically gets changed by Google in SERPs. Should one not optimize the title tag at all? Any thoughts, suggestions, would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Does Using Brand/Company Name in Title on Multiple Pages Cause Cannibalization
I'm trying to rank for brand-name related keywords for a website. Most of the titles on the site include the page topic followed by the brand-name separated by bars or dashes (ex: title= widget | My Brand). Is this creating cannibalization for the brand-related terms? I was wondering if it was better to leave the brand out of the title all together except on a dedicated page. However, due to the nature of the business I work for there are multiple recognized iterations of the name including acronyms and long-form and short-form versions and creating content for each targeted iteration seems superfluous.

Cheap/ Discount/ Value/ Sale Keywords
Hi, Does anyone have any experience in targeting cheap/discount/value etc keywords in an SEO campaign? I'm interested to find out: How Google perceives these keywords, as the search results are only very slightly different if you search with or without a 'cheap' keyword. Whether Google differentiates between 'cheap synonyms ie 'cheap' and 'affordable'. There are far higher searches for 'cheap' but affordable is much more user- and conversion-friendly. Thanks, Karen

SEO beginner- How to decide what keyword to go after?
I started a website called Think and Grow Entrepreneur. I'm not sure where to start with Keywords and which ones to go after. Should I input the same keywords over and over my blog to rank in those or should I look at every post as a single entity and try to rank different keywords in each blog. Ideally I would like to rank for the keyword Entrepreneur, but there are already very powerful companies with the same keyword. How should I go about this situation? I appreciate any feedback. Thanks!

Ways to research/brainstorm keywords for a unique non-profit?
We're looking for ways to drive traffic to our site through targeted keywords, but because our non-profit is unique (micro-loans for students in developing countries) it is unlikely that people will be using such a keyword. We're looking for other keywords to target searchers who might be interested in giving micro-loans for students or at least are interested in microfinance in general. Eventually we do want to win for keywords like "microfinance" but these are a little competitive for us right now. Any suggestions/ideas? NOTE: We're running a blogging contest soon which should be a great opportunity for links with specific anchor text.
