Are you an attorney or a lawyer?
No matter how you identify yourself as a legal professional, be sure to use the keywords attorney and attorneys, and lawyer and lawyers on your website. While you are working your SEO magic, be sure to also use law firm and law firms.
Which is better for law firm websites SEO/ keywords lawyer or attorney?
Statistically, more people will search for you using the term lawyer (singular) than any other legal search term keyword. But it is absolutely critical to marketing your legal practice to go after the attorney seeking crowd and the lawyer pluralizers (those who want lawyers), as well.

In Lesnar vs. Mir, Frank Mir (the "little" guy on the right) holds on to win. In Attorney vs. Lawyer, attorney appears to be bigger, badder and more dominant in keywords found on legal websites, but lawyer still wins hands down in most keyword searches.
More people search for a lawyer than for an attorney. But more people search for attorneys than they do for lawyers. But when it comes to appeals people like attorneys better than lawyers.
Confused? We're not. We know which keywords to use and when and that's not just our SEO mumbo jumbo.
Attorney vs. Lawyer
For fun, start a Google Fight. We did in 2008. In the “fight” Attorney vs. Lawyer the attorneys "won" with 84,400,000 results, while the lawyers came in second with only 63,400,000 results. In 2009 and again in May 2010 we held a rematch and "attorney" was still kicking "lawyer" butt.
