Full-Service Firm With 7 Practice Areas All Ranking Locally
A multi-practice Florida law firm needed every practice area visible in local search, not just their primary specialty.
Multiple Cities
Florida
The Challenge
With 7 distinct practice areas, the firm's website treated each as a thin afterthought. Only the primary specialty had any search visibility. Six practice areas generated zero organic traffic. The site architecture created no topical relationships between related services.
The Approach
Built dedicated, comprehensive service pages for all 7 practice areas using the Gold Standard framework. Created a silo architecture connecting related practice areas. Integrated authentic attorney expertise throughout every page with direct quotes and credentials. Implemented complete schema markup across the entire site.

The Approach
Applied the same Gold Standard methodology used for law firms. Provider credentials integrated throughout content with 15+ mentions per page. Procedure-specific pages built with medical E-E-A-T signals, FAQ schema, and AI-extraction formatting. Local SEO targeting specific neighborhoods and service areas.
