The law firm website
SEO checklist —
every page, every signal.

The complete 2026 checklist for law firm websites: the technical, content, and authority signals that decide whether your site ranks — and whether AI engines cite it.

The foundation: fast, crawlable, clean.

Every page has one canonical URL and one H1.

Title and meta description written per page, not templated.

Pages load fast on mobile — Core Web Vitals in the green.

Sitemap and robots.txt are current; every live page is in the sitemap.

No duplicate homepages, no backup files, no staging URLs indexed.

Content that answers the question.

Practice-area pages for every case type the firm actually takes.

FAQ pages built from real search questions, not invented ones.

The answer stated plainly in the first paragraph, in sentences an engine can lift.

Schema on every page type: LegalService, FAQ, and AI-search metadata.

Corroboration across the web.

One consistent name, address, phone, and practice record everywhere.

A network of related domains, each with an independent reason to exist.

Local citations and directory records that match your site exactly.

Daily monitoring — rankings and AI citations, per query, per competitor.

Or the engine runs the checklist.

Every item above is what Orchestra2026's engine executes and monitors daily. The free audit shows which items your site is failing today — in one pass.
