Maritime Law SEO Checklist

Quick answer

The highest-priority items for maritime attorneys: answer "does the Jones Act or maritime law even apply to my injury or dispute" directly on the site, build out Jones Act explainer pages, and fix the industry's most common gap — assuming visitors already know what maritime law covers, when "does this even apply to me" is the actual first question.
