People search through a sensitive situation, not a neat taxonomy
A prospective client may describe a separation, a parenting issue or a need for private advice without knowing the firm’s service name. The search system must recognize that language, keep distinct matters separate and make the first-contact route clear without exposing or soliciting sensitive facts.
- 01Situation search
“family lawyer for a custody matter in [city]”
Tests whether plain-language need reaches an approved service page. - 02Access search
“[language]-speaking divorce lawyer near me”
Tests language, office and lawyer information without inferring availability. - 03Assistant prompt
“What type of lawyer handles an international family matter?”
Shows which legal categories and firms assistants introduce during early research.
Search distinctions
Separate the matter, urgency and contact path
A single family-law page cannot safely represent every service, audience and first-contact need.
What must stay separate
Matter types. Give each firm-approved service a clear role instead of blending divorce, parenting and other distinct work.
Urgent vs. standard contact. Use only urgency and safety routes the firm has explicitly supplied and approved.
Local vs. remote access. State office, language and remote-consultation information as separate facts.
Page and entity system
Family situation → approved service → jurisdiction → lawyer and language → discreet enquiry
Service pages
Keep each service the firm actually provides distinct, with its own scope and next step.
Lawyer access
Connect approved experience, languages and office relationships without implying suitability.
Private contact
Ask only for the minimum information the firm requires to begin an enquiry.
Measurement
Track discovery without treating private matters as marketing data
We record the observed result, source and description for the selected market and language, then test the same search or prompt again after approved changes.
Need-to-page match
Which situation-led searches reach the correct service page rather than a generic family-law page.
Local choice
Which lawyer, office and language information appears in Search and Maps for the selected market.
AI description
Whether AI answers name the firm, cite approved pages and describe its services accurately and neutrally.
Approval boundaries
Search work stays inside firm-approved facts
Sensitive wording, service definitions and contact routes remain under firm review. The public-data audit does not require facts about a person or family.
- The firm approves service terminology, jurisdiction references, lawyer information and disclaimers.
- Children, safety and urgent situations use only routes supplied and approved by the firm.
- We do not infer rights, risk, eligibility, deadlines or likely outcomes.
- No client story, family detail, result or testimonial is created or implied.
