Why Most Law Firms Are Invisible on Google
96% of people seeking legal advice start with a search engine. If your firm doesn't appear on page one, you're losing cases every day.
Most firms fall into these traps:
A website that looks good but isn't optimised
Design agencies build beautiful websites, but beauty doesn't rank. Without proper technical SEO, keyword targeting, and content strategy, your site is invisible to Google.
Relying entirely on paid ads
Google Ads work, but the moment you stop paying, the leads stop. SEO builds an asset that generates leads month after month.
Targeting the wrong keywords
Ranking for "legal services" means nothing. Ranking for "personal injury lawyer in [your city]" means everything.
No local SEO strategy
If your Google Business Profile isn't optimised and you're not in the map pack, you're leaving the most valuable search real estate to competitors.

Law Firm SEO by Practice Area

Personal Injury
Highly competitive, high reward. We target "personal injury lawyer" + city modifiers, case-type keywords, and long-tail queries that convert.
Family & Divorce Law
Sensitive searches require nuance. We target "divorce lawyer", "child custody attorney", and "family law firm" with empathetic, expert content.
Immigration Law
Growing and underserved online. We target "immigration lawyer", visa-specific terms (H1B, green card, asylum), and multilingual SEO.
Business & Commercial Law
B2B requires a different approach. We target "business attorney", "contract lawyer", and "commercial litigation".
Niche Practice Areas
IP, employment law, estate planning, medical malpractice — if there's a keyword, we can rank for it.
