Implementation Roadmap & Profile Change Checklist

Update Primary Category: Transition primary designation in Google Business Profile to Personal Injury Attorney.
Relegate Generic Term: Move Lawyer to secondary category to retain generic volume while boosting specialized query priority.
Align Service Attributes: Tag specific service items (e.g. Motor Vehicle Accidents, Severe Injury Claims) under the new primary taxonomy.
Review Velocity Buffer: Acquire 3-5 verified client reviews mentioning “Car Accident” within 30 days to cement thematic prominence.
