Pearl is hiring its first Senior Manager, Growth Marketing to "reach more of the right lawyers consistently" for Fount, with "organic and AI-answer visibility" in the brief. Pearl's own sitemap, refreshed this week, still lists 17,756 question pages from the earlier Pearl search product, 1,511 of them under /law (plus /landlord-tenant and /tax). Every one we sampled now loads the homepage with a canonical pointing to the homepage, so a person who arrives with a criminal-record or car-accident question lands on a pitch for professionals, and search engines are asked to crawl thousands of near-duplicates of the homepage.

Why it works
Decide each section on purpose. For /law, /landlord-tenant and /tax, redirect each URL (301) to the matching practice-area page for people looking for legal help, built for Fount: "Talk to a licensed attorney about <topic> in your state", with the Fount intake form. Where no practice area fits, return 410. Remove the other sections from the sitemap (or rebuild the ones that serve other professions later), and watch Search Console for crawl and index changes for 30 days.
People with a specific legal question are the demand Fount sells to its lawyers. Sending them to a practice-area intake page instead of the homepage turns old URLs, and the links they still have, into leads, and stops the sitemap from wasting crawl budget.
