Which practice-area pages should law firms expand first for SEO and AI visibility?
TL;DR
Prioritize revenue-driving practice areas with clear intake paths.
Expand supporting evidence: process timelines, fees structure bands, team bios.
Cross-link statutes/guidance pages only as secondary references—not legal advice.
Measure qualified intakes, not vanity traffic alone.
