SEO – Search Engine Optimization Litigation Support
Did a company use Search Engine Optimization (SEO) to infringe on your trademark? Did a company or person use SEO tactics in defaming your person or upon the reputation of your company? Did an SEO marketing agency fail to perform SEO standards when managing your account? I can provide investigation, analysis and expert witness testimony on these and other issues related to SEO.
Search Engines are increasingly using signals from social media for ranking of websites.
Link-building, can also be of a large concern for SEO, was your SEO agency involved in nefarious techniques that Google has expressly said not to do?
Ever since Google’s PageRank algorithm research papers and patent emerged, knowledgeable webmasters attempted to obtain as many links as possible to point to their sites in order to pump up search engine rankings. Sometimes these webmasters have used links from sites that are “shady” or “unnatural.” Google has become particularly effective at detecting “unnatural” links to sites, and either devaluing those links or penalizing sites for being involved.
Has your site traffic suffered as a result of someone’s link building efforts? Can someone be liable for for performing irresponsible link development with “SEO malpractice” in your business?
I can have relevant expertise for litigation matters involving digital content archives and discoverability, matters including trademarks, patents, and prior art, website traffic analysis, SEO and search engine visibility, click validity measurement, and related areas. I can help both trial and deposition testimony. I have been used by many lawyers to ask the proper questions at depositions.
