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.

What is 'SEO copywriting' in 2015?
Howdy forum-fans! I've been toying with the idea for a while now, that 'SEO copywriting' and 'writing for Google' is no longer something that SEO's should be focusing on, but rather writing great, relevant, unique content for customers. The theory is that Google is smart enough to pick up on this and, via it's algorithms, know that it's content worth ranking as it'll be useful to people searching for queries related to the content. Additionally a well written peice of content should naturally contain keywords, phrases and links, taking away some of the overthinking that I've sometimes experienced (first hand) when writing content. What does everyone think? Is 'Writing for Google' dead in 2015 and, if so, has 'Writing for customers' replaced it? Or is there still a place for SEO copywriting; Eg. Well formed titles, URLs, meta-data (does this count as copywriting?)

All In One SEO Plugin & Titles
When I first started blogging I hired a company to design and develop my website. They provided SEO training which I've followed religiously but now I'm starting to wonder (after researching more and more about SEO) if by following these guidelines I may be placing myself in jeopardy. I write a blog about desserts. I was told that my SEO title should be different than my blog post title and I should incorporate a few different keywords in the title, write a meta description inserting a few keywords, and also attach 10 keywords, ie here is a typical post: Dark Chocolate Cake with Dark Chocolate Cherry Ganache - post title Moist Chocolate Cake-Chocolate Ganache Cake-Chocolate Cherry Cake - SEO title Find recipe for quick and easy, moist Dark Chocolate Cake topped with Chocolate Cherry Ganache & fresh cherries & other Chocolate Desserts at Grace's Sweet Life. how to make chocolate cake, best chocolate cake, chocolate cake from scratch, best chocolate cake recipe, moist chocolate cake, simple chocolate cake, easy chocolate cake, homemade chocolate cake, chocolate cherry cake, chocolate fudge cake, chocolate ganache recipe I've come to realize that I really don't know how to keyword search (not so much how to search for phrases but how to implement them properly) and I'm wondering if there's such a thing as "hiring a trainer or consultant" to put me on the appropriate path for keyword research.

Rough Simple Math formula for sales/SEO...am I out of touch?
Please let me know if I have this all wrong ... 500 people search for "ham" My client is #1 SERP w/clean SEO I have provided. out of the 500, half click on the SERP the rest got to ads, or to the bathroom, etc. 250 click to website, half go through.... the rest bail (50% bounce, I know this is bad, but just for demo purposes) Leaving 125 as potential Ham buyers. I have a feeling this final # should be much smaller...thoughts, insights? Thanks Mozzers!
