THE HEADLINE: the page did not rank for its own subject. In three months Search Console shows 3,192 impressions, 4 clicks, CTR 0.13%, average position 16 across 107 queries. The head term «legal case management software» (2,400 searches a month, $46.52) had 1 impression on the whole site, at position 9, served by /web-app, so this page got none. In Semrush the page ranks for 7 keywords in total: two Maatdesk brand queries and five mass-tort queries (positions 22–68), and none of the keywords on its own page. On the 274 on-subject, non-branded competitor keywords Clio ranks on 246, LegalSoft on 215 and MyCase on 202; Maatdesk's page used 0 of them. Behind that stood about 370 visible words, nothing between the H1 and the video, generic alts («case details client»), and claims the support site does not document: an AI summary generated «automatically», «compliant, audit-ready» records, a tags feature, unreleased v26.1.2 features and an Outlook add-in still waiting for Microsoft. So the work had four parts: remove what was not true, rebuild the page on the /legal-billing-software template with the vocabulary the competitors rank for, link it into the site, and cut the stacked keyword variants in a final copy edit.
The H1 & Meta Tags — H1 unchanged · title and description rewritten · og:image / twitter:image were EMPTY · briefintro was empty · hero video moved to YouTube
The H1 «Legal Case Management Software» was left alone: it is the exact head term. Everything around it changed. The title now pairs the head term with «for Law Firms», the description lists only documented matter features, og:image / twitter:image point at a real screenshot, and an intro paragraph sits between the H1 and the video.
Content/legal-case-management-software/En/articlemetas.cshtml  ·  App_Data/ServiceEntities.xml  ·  2026-10-09 
@* TITLE — REWRITTEN. Head term (2,400 vol, KD 34, $46.52) + "for Law Firms" ("case management software for law firms", 320 vol). *@
<title>Legal Case Management Software for Law Firms | Maatdesk</title>

@* DESCRIPTION — REWRITTEN. Lists only documented matter features (support: getting-started-with-matters, structure-of-the-matter-dashboard). *@
<meta name="description" content="…" />   @* holds "legal case management software" once *@

@* OG / TWITTER IMAGE — WERE EMPTY. Now case-details-u.webp. *@
<meta property="og:image" content="…/case-details-u.webp" />

@* H1 — UNCHANGED. "Legal Case Management Software", name= in ServiceEntities.xml. *@
@* INTRO PARAGRAPH — briefintro ADDED (was empty): the page went from the H1 straight to the video. *@
@* VIDEO ENTITY — youtubeslideid="fY9QQwZxjmY" ADDED; same cut as Vimeo 1157001528, so clearing youtubeslideid reverts to Vimeo. *@

@* JSON-LD IN THE METAS — rebuilt: SoftwareApplication → WebPage → BreadcrumbList, @id-linked, featureList = matter features only, isPartOf a bare @id to the site-wide #software. *@

The description's text is not reproduced here because the .txt does not quote it; it counts it (the head term once) and records what it lists. Why the title adds «for Law Firms»: «case management software for law firms» (320 searches, $37.38) is ranked #1 by MyCase and #4 by Clio, and the audience word separates the page from non-legal case management (healthcare, HR, government), which the keyword research had to filter out: 871 off-subject keywords.

Keyword Coverage — Before / Now — 299 rows · 25 page keywords + 274 competitor keywords (84,580 searches) · 463 branded and 871 off-subject keywords removed · counted after the 10-12 copy edit
52 of the 299 keywords are on the page now (17 before), with 266 occurrences in ranking text (43 before). The count went up for 49 keywords and down for 4 («attorneys» 5 → 3; «matter details», «case status», «case data» 1 → 0). Before / Now / ± count only ranking text: Title + H1 + H2/H3 + Body + Alt. The meta description and JSON-LD are left out because Google does not rank on them. The zone columns (Title … Visible) show the page now; Anchor is already inside Body, and Visible = Title + Meta + H1 + H2/H3 + Body + Alt. MD is this page's Semrush rank, Clio / LSoft / MyCase the three competitor URLs (nr = outside the top 100, — = no row: bulk-export keyword). Families count the Semrush keywords and GSC queries that contain the phrase. Highlighted rows are on the page today.

Counts are case-insensitive exact phrase; a hyphen counts as a space («cloud-based» = «cloud based»). Counts overlap: «case management» also counts every «legal case management software». og:title / twitter:title repeat the title and og / twitter descriptions repeat the meta, so they are not counted again. Commented-out blocks (e.g. the «Attorney-Built & Practice-Tested» section) are not counted. Rows 1–25 are page keywords that match the H1 subject; terms owned by other Maatdesk pages (billing, documents, calendaring, trust, tasks, AI, client portal, Gmail…) were dropped. Rows 26–299 are every other competitor keyword in the gap export, sorted by volume then CPC. Family volume can be skewed by one keyword («legal teams» = 51,900, of which 49,500 is «legal teams case management challenges»). The on-page columns are the page after the rewrite; the Semrush and GSC columns were exported before it.

Before the rewrite the page used none of the 274 competitor keywords; now it uses 32 of them, all in visible text. Each was added in one natural sentence or heading; word-order variants («case management software law», «legal software case management») and misspellings («case managment software», «suco case managent software») were not written onto the page.

These are the only eight table keywords with an exact GSC row, and none had a click. Item 12 of the change log gives the reason for the litigation section: «litigation management software» had no text and the page already ranked for mass tort queries.
4. What the competitors hold, 274 on-subject non-branded keywords
PageRankedTop 10Top 3#1URL
Clio246185~108~25clio.com/features/case-management/: product feature page; #1 on «case management software»

Ranked / Top 10 are the .txt totals. Top 3 / #1 are counted from the position columns of the 299 table rows, which give ranked counts within 1–5 of the .txt totals, hence the «~». The SERP is product pages (Clio, MyCase) plus a listicle (LegalSoft). The rewrite gave Maatdesk the depth of a product page; the «best …» questions are answered in FAQs rather than by turning the page into a listicle.
5. What not to read into the data
  • The biggest volumes are not targets. «case status» (90,500) is court-case lookups; «attorney» (74,000), «lawyers» (33,100) and «law firm» (27,100) are single words. «legal teams case management challenges» (49,500) is real and got its own FAQ, but it inflates every family it belongs to.
  • Most of the export was thrown out on purpose. 463 competitor-branded keywords (903,070 searches: Clio, MyCase, LegalSoft, 8am, Filevine, Litify…) and 871 off-subject keywords (120,900: healthcare / HR / government case management, practice areas, eDiscovery, topics other Maatdesk pages own) are not in the table.
  • Misspellings and navigational queries stay in the table but not on the page: «suco case managent software» (1,000), «case managment software», «case management software news».
  • Nothing here measures the rewrite. GSC and Semrush were exported on 2026-10-09, before it.
Content Changes — ~370 → ~4,180 words · 9 documented-behaviour cards · 8 steps · rebuilt on the /legal-billing-software template · 2026-10-09 → 12
The old page went from the H1 straight to the video, with no sentence saying what the product is. Five statements were not documented: the AI summary generated «automatically» (it runs on request, on the firm's own OpenAI or Gemini key), «compliant, audit-ready» records, a tags feature, release v26.1.2 features (release date not set) and any Outlook mention (the add-in is still awaiting Microsoft approval). Every new block states only behaviour documented on support.maatdesk.com, and topics that other pages own (billing, documents, calendaring, trust, tasks) are linked to them.

Images: generic alts → each alt describes its screen RESOLVED 10-09 → 12
The alts were generic, e.g. «case details client». Every alt now describes its own screen, and the Matter Status, Limitation Date and Matters Over Time widgets moved here from the calendaring page. The image sitemap now lists the page's nine screenshots: case-details, lawyers, phoneActivities out, matter-status, limitation-date, matters-over-time, phonematters in. Also: width / height, loading="lazy" and decoding="async" on all nine, so the layout does not shift as they load. «Limitation Dates widget» → «Limitation Date widget» in the copy edit.

Each new question answers a Search Console or Semrush query, and every answer opens with a sentence that stands on its own, so an AI answer can quote it without the rest. The largest is «legal teams case management challenges» (49,500 searches), asked in natural word order.

Links — 21 internal links out · +6 sibling pages in · 3 weak anchors fixed · 2 cannibalizing anchors moved to / · 1 outbound citation
Two links told Google the wrong thing about this page. A blog post linked here with «legal practice management software», which is the home page's subject, so both anchors now go to /. Three other posts linked here with anchors that said nothing («management of your law firm», «Case Matter», «client and matter structure»). Six sibling pages described things that live on the matter and did not link here at all.

6.3 Cannibalization fix and outbound citation
blog: switching-legal-practice-management-software: «legal practice management software» / «Maatdesk legal practice management software» → this page → / (the home page), the same anchor /legal-billing-software uses. Practice management is the home page's topic; linking it here blurred which page owns which query.
The conflict-check FAQ links ABA Model Rule 1.7 (Conflict of Interest: Current Clients), and the answer explains that Maatdesk's written waiver mirrors it. A neutral, authoritative source, as /legal-billing-software does with Rule 1.15.
JSON-LD & Entity Data — loose node → @id-linked graph · Vimeo VideoObject → YouTube VideoObject with transcript · FAQPage 20 · site-wide featureList → matters only · three sitemaps
The old SoftwareApplication had no @id, listed the whole product (e-signature, Gmail, trust, billing) as this page's features, and used an unrelated image. The old VideoObject pointed at Vimeo with a generic description. The rebuild uses the same graph as /legal-billing-software and /legal-time-tracking-software.

Deliberate Omissions & Measurement — the claims removed · the keywords skipped or cut back · what is left to other pages · and the exports that will judge this work
Every omission on this page is a decision with a documented basis. The AI summary runs only on request, on the firm's own key. The page claims no «compliant» or «audit-ready» records, no tags, nothing from release v26.1.2 and no Outlook add-in. There is no native app, no bulk claimant import and no free download. Since the 10-12 copy edit, no sentence stacks keyword variants.
DO NOT «FIX» THESE: each one is a decision with a reason, recorded so the next editor does not undo it
