Criminal Defense Law SEO Checklist
Quick answer
The highest-priority items for criminal defense firms: answer "how serious is this charge and what happens to me next" directly on the site, build out charge-specific pages, and fix the industry's most common gap — no charge-specific content, so someone searching their exact charge at 2am finds a generic 'criminal defense' page instead of a real answer.
