Law firm marketing guide
Structured Data for Law Firm Websites
Represent the real entities
Organization or LegalService markup can describe the firm, while Person markup can describe attorneys. Keep names, credentials, offices, and relationships consistent with visible content.
- Firm identity and office
- Attorney identity and role
- Services and service area
- Canonical page relationships
Use page-specific schema
Breadcrumbs should reflect the visible hierarchy. FAQ schema should match visible questions and answers. Article schema should identify a real author or reviewer and use truthful publication dates.
Avoid schema shortcuts
Do not add review markup for fabricated testimonials, mark marketing staff as attorneys, or publish FAQ markup for content hidden from visitors. Schema is a clarification layer, not a substitute for evidence.
Frequently asked questions
Does schema guarantee a rich result?
No. Search engines decide whether and how to display enhanced results. Accurate schema can improve understanding but does not guarantee a specific presentation.
Should every page use FAQ schema?
Only pages with useful, visible FAQs should use it. Repeating the same FAQ block everywhere adds little value.
