Landing had zero share-metadata. Link previews on LinkedIn / X / Discord /
Slack rendered as bare URLs, no preview card. Added the full set:

- <link rel="canonical" href="https://lawyers.agentabrams.com/">
- <meta name="robots" content="index, follow">
- og:type=website, og:site_name, og:title, og:description, og:url,
  og:locale=en_US (no og:image yet — use summary card; can add a CSS-
  rendered noir/champagne tile later if a paid social campaign needs it)
- twitter:card=summary, twitter:title, twitter:description (both tighter
  copy than OG so they fit X's 70-char render window)

JSON-LD structured data:
  Organization (@id #org) + WebSite (@id #website) graph entries
  - name, alternateName, url, description (with §6155 cite verbatim)
  - areaServed: California
  - knowsAbout: California attorneys, lawyer directory, California State
    Bar
  - sameAs: https://www.calbar.ca.gov/  (Schema.org disambiguation —
    tells Google + crawlers explicitly that we are NOT calbar.ca.gov,
    we just reference it as authoritative source — same §6155-correct
    disambiguation we already do in the visual eyebrow + title)
  - publisher relation linking WebSite to Organization
  - potentialAction: SearchAction targeting /find-a-lawyer?zip={zip}
    so Google can render a sitelinks search box

Deployed to prod via rsync (public/index.html only — static, no pm2
restart needed). Verified 14 meta + structured-data tags render live
at https://lawyers.agentabrams.com/.
