Most teams mirror the SEAK directory plus their internal expert pool into a Google Sheet they own with a single de-duped row per expert per sub-specialty. SleekRank reads the sheet as a CSV URL with a 30 to 60 day cache. When an expert is added, removed, or changes sub-specialty focus, one row changes and the matching page refreshes on the next cycle.

The cleanest split is the level litigators use in case scoping: "electrical arc flash" beats "electrical engineering", "anesthesia awareness" beats "anesthesiology". Avoid over-splitting into hyper-rare combinations because the resulting pages are thin and dilute trust. Aim for 200 to 400 sub-specialty pages in the page group.

Yes. Add a deposition_status column with values like proven, limited, or new-to-testifying. The base template can group proven experts first and limited-experience experts second. Filtering and sort order are configurable from the page group settings so the directory matches your editorial standards.

A meta mapping populates a JSON-LD block in the page head from row fields. You write the schema template once with placeholders for sub-specialty name, expert count, and primary jurisdictions. SleekRank injects the row values per page so each URL ships Service or Person structured data with the correct sub-specialty field.

Filter the source so only sub-specialties with one or more active experts emit pages. Thin pages hurt site trust, so the cleaner pattern is to exclude empty sub-specialties entirely and let a broader parent specialty page list adjacent sub-specialty clusters litigators might consider as alternatives.

Yes. Each expert can appear in multiple rows, one per sub-specialty cluster they cover. The same person renders on every sub-specialty URL where they have demonstrated experience, with the deposition count and trial flag scoped to that sub-specialty. This is the cleaner data model than trying to list every specialty on one expert page.

A CPT works when the expert is the canonical search target. Litigators search by sub-specialty because the case scope drives sourcing more than the expert's brand. The sub-specialty is the canonical URL and experts are list items within it. SleekRank inverts the CPT model and treats experts as rows rendered into the sub-specialty page.

Yes. Anything you put on the base page renders on every generated URL. Gravity Forms with conditional logic and confidential storage all work. You can pass row fields into hidden form values via shortcodes so each retain request is tagged with the sub-specialty and jurisdictions for routing to the matching expert outreach team.
