Legal Counsel Near Me
Large-scale Drupal 11 legal directory platform covering all 50 US states and hundreds of practice areas, built to connect consumers with local attorneys via programmatically generated SEO landing pages.
About the project
Legal Counsel Near Me is a US legal services directory designed to help consumers find attorneys by practice area and location across all 50 US states and the District of Columbia, covering hundreds of practice areas from family law to complex commercial litigation.
We built the platform on Drupal 11 with a custom Artlogic-based theme, leveraging Drupal's Feeds and Feeds Tamper modules to programmatically import and structure hundreds of legal practice areas and all US state/territory data from CSV sources. The architecture supports scalable content generation for location + practice area landing pages.
Pathauto generates clean SEO-friendly URL patterns, Metatag handles structured metadata at scale, Honeypot provides spam protection, and the Webform module powers contact and intake forms — delivering a complete, scalable attorney finder platform optimized for competitive legal search traffic.
The Challenge
Building a legal directory at US national scale meant creating thousands of state × practice area landing pages — an impossible manual content task. The platform needed a scalable programmatic architecture with real SEO value, not just thin doorway pages.
The Solution
We built the platform on Drupal 11, using Feeds and Feeds Tamper to programmatically import all 50 states and 300+ practice areas. Custom templates ensure each location+practice page has unique structured content. Pathauto, Metatag, and Webform complete the SEO and lead capture stack.
Results & Impact
- 50 states + DC fully covered at launch
- 300+ practice area categories imported and structured programmatically
- Thousands of SEO landing pages generated without manual content entry
- Core Web Vitals: 94+ on all Lighthouse metrics
What would have taken a team of writers years to produce manually, Artlogic delivered in three months through smart architecture. The platform is already ranking and we have barely started our SEO campaign.
