Actionable Protocol
These structural changes are the highest-leverage path to page 1. Most can be implemented within 30 days.
Deploy LocalBusiness + Attorney schema immediately
Neither homepage nor any practice page carries ld+json. Adding LegalService schema with board certification credentials and Smith County service area gives Google structured signals no Tyler competitor currently provides.
Rebuild criminal defense and PI pages to 1,000+ words each
Both practice pages are under 500 words with no sub-practice sections. Each needs dedicated H2s for case types, Tyler/Smith County court references, and internal links — the pattern that lets mattbinghamlaw.com hold top spots.
Make board certification the headline trust signal
TBLS certification in both Family Law and Personal Injury Trial Law is documented but not in title tags, H1, or schema. Competitors like Martin Walker PC lead with board certification in page titles — Wulf Law has the same credential and is not using it.
