Internet searches for lawyers have skyrocketed, making legal websites the most important part of lawyer marketing in many specialties. Here are recent monthly search volumes reported by Google’s keyword search tool:

670,000 injury attorney 550,000 injury lawyer 450,000 criminal attorney 370,000 criminal lawyer 370,000 divorce attorney 370,000 divorce lawyer 300,000 dui attorney 250,000 dui lawyer 300,000 bankruptcy attorney 240,000 bankruptcy lawyer 246,000 tax attorney 90,000 tax lawyer

200,000 malpractice lawyer 160,000 malpractice attorney 200,000 immigration lawyer 135,000 immigration attorney 90,500 employment attorney 74,000 employment lawyer 90,500 corporate lawyer 49,500 corporate attorney 60,000 disability lawyer 50,000 disability attorney 49,500 probate lawyer 40,500 probate attorney

The actual attorney-search numbers are far larger. Plurals of these phrases usually add half these quantities, and other lower-volume search terms are also used (e.g., dwi lawyer, drunk driving attorney, dui defense, etc.).

The monthly number of Google searches containing the word “attorney” or “lawyer” exceeds 35 million.

If your legal website is not attracting, retaining, and converting its proper share of these searches, you are not maximizing the least expensive source of clients available to you.
