About This Assessment
Built by the operators behind Bay Legal, PC — a live law firm that XPRTS runs daily. Every insight comes from real experience, not theory.
Takes 3 minutes. No email required to see your results.
Your law firm website is either generating leads 24/7 or it’s a brochure that no one reads. The difference is platform, speed, SEO, and conversion design — all technical choices, not creative ones. This assessment scores your site across speed, SEO structure, intake integration, AI search visibility, and local search presence.
Frequently Asked Questions
How fast should a law firm website load?
Google’s Core Web Vitals benchmark targets a Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) under 2.5 seconds and a Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) under 0.1. Law firm websites built by XPRTS on WP Engine with Cloudflare CDN consistently score 90+ on Google’s PageSpeed Insights — because infrastructure alone doesn’t guarantee performance; clean code and optimised assets do. Unoptimized themes and plugins commonly score 40–65.
What platform does XPRTS recommend for law firm websites?
XPRTS builds on the platform that fits your engagement. For a site your team will update regularly — adding attorneys, publishing content, editing service pages — we build on managed WordPress and deploy to WP Engine with Cloudflare handling DNS, caching and security, which is the architecture behind xprts.com. For a site that will stay largely static after launch, a static build is faster to serve and has less to maintain. We recommend one during discovery and explain why.
What is AEO and why does it matter for law firm websites?
AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimization — the practice of structuring content and schema markup so that AI systems like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity cite your site when someone asks a relevant question. This is distinct from traditional SEO. XPRTS builds AEO schema (FAQPage, HowTo, SpeakableSpecification, Person, Organization) into every site so AI systems can identify and cite the authoritative content.
Does a law firm website need to be connected to Lawmatics?
Yes, for any firm that generates leads online. Your website intake form should submit directly into your Lawmatics pipeline — triggering the automated response, starting the follow-up sequence, and logging the lead source. A website form that sends to email is a step backward: it requires manual entry, creates delays, and loses the automation that turns more leads into signed cases.
How long does it take for a law firm website to rank on Google?
Once at initial assessment and then annually, or after any significant change in firm size, practice area mix, staffing, or platform. The scorecard benchmarks your firm at a moment in time — comparing year-over-year scores is a useful way to measure whether operational improvements have actually moved the needle.
How long does it take for a law firm website to rank on Google?
A well-built, fast, SEO-optimized law firm website typically begins appearing in search results within 4–8 weeks of launch and builds ranking authority over 6–18 months. The timeline depends on domain age, competition in the practice area and market, content quality, and link acquisition. XPRTS builds the technical and schema foundations that give new sites the best possible start.
