Law Firm SEO FAQ

Why not just use generic LocalBusiness schema?

The 'LegalService' schema type provides critical context to search engines about your specific profession. It helps Google map your firm to localized legal queries, separating you from generic businesses and establishing the necessary YMYL authority required to rank for legal search terms.

Can I hide my address if I travel to clients?

Yes. Enable the “Service Area Business” toggle in the generator above to remove your street address while keeping your city and state — staying 100% compliant with Google's guidelines. Read our full SAB SEO Guide for details.
