When does my Premium Lawyer Profile come up and how do you determine the order of results?
Several factors are used to determine lawyer listing results that are displayed for a user's search and the order of results. A user's search condition of 'practice area' and 'location' will primarily determine the lawyer profiles that show in the results. Sample visitor searches are 'personal injury lawyers within 15 miles of Los Angeles', 'DUI lawyers in New York City', etc. For location we determine the distance from a lawyer's 'primary office address' and show lawyers within a certain distance from the user's location search condition; the area used for results is increased dynamically until the result set is complete.
For all the profiles that meet the visitor's search condition, the Premium Lawyer Profile listings are featured on top of general listings. The order of results is calculated separately for Premium Lawyer Profiles and general listings and is based on the closeness of the match. The closer a match for a user's search, the higher the ranking. Factors used to determine match closeness are location, state, practice area, and user sort preference. For practice area, the more precise practice area matched lawyers will show above broader practice area matched lawyers. As an example, a user's search for a malpractice lawyer will first return malpractice specific premium lawyers if any for that location and then 'accident & injury' premium lawyers if any for that location. Users have flexibility to adjust sort order of search results based on distance, name, and location.
For an equivalent match for Premium Lawyer Profiles, the lawyer that signed up for a Premium Lawyer Profile first will be shown first.
In addition to the above, Lawyer.com also offers users an 'Advanced Search Option' where users can search by name or other keywords that can match any item of a Lawyer profile and will have an impact on the Lawyer listing results.
