What  kind of lawyers do people in Chicago search for the most?

A simple Keyword Research Study.

 

 

This study began with keyword research of 3 common search terms, “Chicago Lawyer,” “Chicago Law firm,” and “Chicago Attorney.” Why these three terms? Because they are the most broad, relevant keywords with the highest search volume for this industry and location.

We identified each different ‘type’ of lawyer searched for within the research for all three keyword phrases.

Within the keyword research, it’s inevitable that duplicate keywords will show up in different word order. People search can search for the same thing a million different ways. For that reason, we only took into consideration the keyword phrase with the most search volume. For example, the keyword research for ‘Chicago Lawyer,’ generated the keywords ‘Chicago personal injury lawyer’ and ‘personal injury lawyer Chicago.’ Instead of counting all the keywords that included ‘personal injury’ we took the keyword containing ‘personal injury’ with the highest search volume to keep things simple.

We included keywords that fell under that the same type of lawyer but included different words. For example, ‘dog bite attorney’ may fall under a personal injury attorney’s services, however this person is searching for something specific and could be looking for a law firm that specializes in dog bite cases specifically, therefore we decided to include this search as a different ‘type’ of lawyer.

To determine the interest in a given type of lawyer, we added the search volume of each type across the three keyword’s research data.
