A comprehensive audit of your website, local SEO, citations, reviews, schema, content, and competitive position — prepared exclusively for your firm.
Johnny Adams Law Firm has a strong reputation locally — 218 five-star Google reviews is a genuine asset. But the digital infrastructure surrounding that reputation is leaving significant visibility and new-client opportunities on the table.
The site ranks for exactly one keyword: the firm's own name. No potential client searching "personal injury attorney Union Springs AL" will find this firm through Google search.
The site is built on Wix, which severely restricts schema markup, content architecture, and technical SEO. A 7-page site with no blog means there is no content engine to build topical authority.
The site is running Universal Analytics (sunset July 2023). No performance data has been collected in nearly 3 years. There is no way to know what is working or where visitors are dropping off.
218 Google reviews at 5.0 stars is exceptional for a firm of this size. This is a major trust asset that, with the right infrastructure, can be amplified across AI search platforms and legal directories.
ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews pull from structured data, authoritative content, and entity signals. Without schema upgrades, FAQ content, and Wikidata presence, the firm is invisible to AI-driven queries.
FindLaw lists a different phone number. Yelp shows different hours. Avvo uses a different name variant. These inconsistencies confuse both search engines and potential clients verifying the firm's legitimacy.
Each category is scored 0–100 and weighted by its impact on overall digital visibility. The weighted total produces the overall score of 53/100.
These are the highest-impact issues identified in the audit. Addressing them in order will produce the fastest and most meaningful improvement in search visibility and new-client acquisition.
The site ranks for only one keyword — the firm's own name. No prospective client searching for a personal injury or wrongful death attorney in Alabama will discover this firm through organic search. The root cause is a 7-page site with no content strategy, no blog, and no practice area sub-pages.
The site uses generic LocalBusiness schema instead of LegalService, Attorney, and Person types. AI search engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews) rely on structured data to identify and recommend attorneys. Without the correct schema, the firm is not surfaced for AI-driven legal queries.
The site is running Universal Analytics (analytics.js), which Google permanently sunset in July 2023. No website performance data has been collected in nearly three years. GA4 migration is overdue and essential for understanding traffic, conversions, and campaign performance.
Wix imposes hard limits on schema customization, JavaScript performance (82 KiB of duplicated JS detected), blog functionality, and internal linking architecture. The mobile performance score is 64/100 with an LCP of 7.5 seconds — well above Google's 2.5s "Good" threshold. Migration to a managed WordPress environment is required.
FindLaw's attorney profile lists (334) 738-3300 instead of the canonical (334) 500-5000. Avvo uses "John Livingston Adams" instead of "Johnny Adams." Yelp shows 8AM–5PM hours vs. GBP's "Open 24 hours." These inconsistencies create entity confusion for search engines and erode trust with potential clients.
"We work had for our clients" appears in both the homepage and practice areas meta descriptions — a typo visible directly in Google search results. This damages first impressions for anyone considering the firm before clicking.
The /coming-soon-01 page returns HTTP 200, is listed in the XML sitemap, has no noindex tag, and contains no meta description. This thin placeholder page dilutes crawl budget, confuses Googlebot, and signals an incomplete website to both search engines and visitors.
Expand each category to review specific findings, severity ratings, and context. All findings are prioritized by impact.

Not Mentioned — 0/4 platformsAI platforms directed users to online directories (Avvo, FindLaw, Justia) and general guidance — not to specific firms. The firm's absence from these directories with reviews compounds the invisibility.
LegalService, Attorney, and Person schema tell AI systems exactly what the firm does and who the attorney is. Generic LocalBusiness schema is invisible to AI categorization engines.
AI platforms cite content that directly answers legal questions. FAQ pages, practice area guides, and blog articles are the primary content formats AI models reference.

Avvo, FindLaw, and Justia are trusted sources that AI models actively pull from. Reviews and complete profiles on these platforms directly improve AI citation probability.
Wikidata is a primary knowledge graph source for AI platforms. Creating a verified Wikidata profile for the firm and attorney establishes a machine-readable entity anchor.
Content structured with clear questions, concise answers (50–70 words), and FAQ schema is the format AI models extract and cite in generated responses.
