The mediation keyword map
Ranking for "divorce mediator" alone leaves most of the market on the table. We build around five clusters.
Hire terms
divorce mediator near me, divorce mediation plus city, family mediation services, certified divorce mediator plus county.
Cost terms
how much does divorce mediation cost, mediation vs lawyer cost, flat fee divorce mediation, cheapest way to get divorced.
Comparison terms
mediation vs litigation, collaborative divorce vs mediation, do I need a lawyer if we use a mediator, is mediation legally binding.
Process terms
what happens in a mediation session, how long does mediation take, what if we cannot agree, parenting plan mediation, dividing the house.
Geography terms
the county family court names in your market, plus every town whose residents file there.
Each cluster earns its own page or its own section. One thin services page cannot rank for all of it.
Local SEO is most of the win
Couples hire inside a tight radius, even when sessions are virtual.
- Google Business Profile categories, services, description, and photos aligned to mediation language
- Location pages for every city and county you serve, written with real local detail, not swapped city names
- Consistent name, address, and phone across every directory and legal listing
- Steady, compliant review generation, because review recency moves map rankings and mediation buyers read every one
- Local pages linked from the practice page and from each other in a clean silo
AI search is now part of SEO
Couples ask ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews whether mediation is cheaper, whether it holds up in court, and what happens if one spouse refuses. Those answers pull from structured, well sourced, well organized pages.
We optimize for that with clear question and answer formatting, LegalService and Person schema, consistent entity data across the web, credential rich bios that establish who is answering, and content depth that AI systems can safely quote. We do not promise placement in any AI answer. We build the signals that make citation likely.
Technical foundation
- Fast mobile pages, because most of these searches happen on a phone late at night
- Clean internal linking from the mediation hub down to each spoke and back
- Correct canonical tags so closely related pages do not compete with each other
- Schema that describes the practice, the practitioner, and the questions answered
- Analytics that ties a booked session back to the search that started it
