Schema markup for law firms: a practical guide

May 12, 2026 8 min read

For law firms, schema is part of compliance and clarity: you want machines to understand your practice areas, geography, and credentials without inventing claims you didn't make.

Recommended types

  • LegalService or Attorney — firm name, url, areas served
  • Service — one entry per practice area you actively market
  • Person — partners with verifiable credentials and sameAs profiles
  • FAQPage — intake questions clients ask AI before calling

Keep claims factual

Avoid superlatives in schema you can't substantiate. Use specific, verifiable statements — jurisdictions, practice areas, languages spoken, consultation availability. Models and regulators both prefer precision over hype.
