PHASE 1: HUB ARCHITECTURE (Days 1–5)

Strategy: Build a "Super Lawyers" style ranking hub, but instead of ranking attorneys, rank charges and case types. This captures high-intent, non-branded search volume.

Hub Structure:

• Landing Page: "San Diego Criminal Defense Power Rankings 2025" — a leaderboard of the top 10 most common criminal charges filed in San Diego County, ranked by frequency and conviction rate. (Data source: San Diego Superior Court annual reports, SANDAG crime stats).
• Pillar Pages (10 total): Dedicated page per crime type (e.g., "San Diego DUI Lawyer – Case Strategy & Cost Guide").
• Supporting Data Pages: "Average Bail by Charge in San Diego," "San Diego District Attorney Conviction Rates by Case Type," "Police Arrest Map by Neighborhood."
