Apostrophes impact on SEO
-
I have a question about the use of Apostrohes in the text of your site for your keyword. Most of the info I have found says in most cases it does not matter, but it depends. Most of the info about this issue I have found is a few years old.
I am leaning towards not using it at all to make it easier for everyone writing for the website to always do it the same way.
Here is an example: Lawyer’s Lawyers' Lawyers
Does it matter if I use the apostrophe?
-
I would suggest using apostrophes where/if grammatically correct. It depends on the individual sentence whether you would use an apostrophe.
Lawyers = plural of lawyer
Lawyer's = singular of lawyer, to show possession
Lawyers' = plural of lawyer, to show possession
