01Law Firm Website Quality Scorer

How would Google's quality raters score your law firm's website?

Enter any page on your site. In under a minute you get the rating Google's own rater guidelines point to, every judgment behind it, and the fixes that would move it up.

Adds a Needs Met rating for that search. Page quality never depends on the query.

02How it works

Three steps, all visible.

Read

A real browser loads the page

The page is opened the way a potential client would see it and turned into text. Code pulls out the facts: attorneys named, bar admissions and certifications, case results and disclaimers, address, phone, reviews, dates, and links.

Judge

Forty-plus rater questions

A decision model answers typed questions drawn from Google's guidelines: purpose, YMYL, harm and spam, content quality, E-E-A-T, website information, and law firm checks such as attorney credentials, results claims, and jurisdiction. Every answer comes back with probabilities.

Rate

Code applies the rules

Harm, deception, and spam force Lowest first. A firm Low signal gives Low. High and Highest need the guideline's High criteria, and legal topics are Your Money or Your Life, so the bar is higher. Every rule that fired is listed.

What it cannot see

  • Reputation. The guidelines require research beyond the page, such as your Google reviews and state bar record; the report tells you what to check.
  • Layout, images, and popups. These are judged from the page text only.
  • Other pages on your site, so site-wide problems can only be suspected.
