- Develop and execute technical, on-page, and off-page SEO strategies to increase organic search rankings and drive inbound legal inquiries.
- Perform regular technical website audits to identify and resolve issues related to crawlability, site speed, indexing, Core Web Vitals, and site architecture.
- Manage and optimize Local SEO strategy across all regional markets, including Google Business Profiles, local citation consistency, and localized content.
- Conduct thorough keyword research and content gap analysis to guide new content creation and improve rankings for competitive, high-intent legal keywords.
- Coordinate with the creative and content teams to ensure all new and existing web content, blog posts, and landing pages are optimized for both search engines and user conversion.
- Monitor, analyze, and report on organic performance metrics—including keyword rankings, organic traffic, bounce rates, and cost per lead—using GA4 and Google Search Console.
- Maintain focus on search engine algorithm updates, search marketing best practices, and legal industry trends to continuously refine performance.
