Scheme @type "LocalBusiness" or "LegalService"

[Foureyes]

Hey All, I work in the legal space and was curious regarding the better Scheme path?
We are a locally focused firm but we do cover statewide issues and are licensed in a handful of other states.

Appreciate your input!

Blessings,
Mike

Thing > Organization > LocalBusiness > LegalService
Thing > Place > LocalBusiness > LegalService

Based on the hierarchy above, I personally would use LegalService

legalservice is a child of localBusiness, so it’s pretty easy for search engines to understand

I would be more careful if the schema hierarchy looked like :

Thing > Organization > LegalService

it skips the localBusiness relationship.

Use LegalService. It positions the business in a highly relevant niche, while still benefiting from all the boost u would get from LocalBusiness, Organization, and Place

Make sense?
