Marketing for Law Firms
Generate qualified consultation requests and own the local search results for your practice areas.
Common challenges we solve
The eight things we hear most often from firms before they work with us.
-
Building trust with potential clients who are skeptical of lawyers
-
Low visibility in Google Maps and local search results
-
Strict advertising compliance and ethical considerations
-
Website visitors who leave without contacting you
-
Negative reviews that weigh far more than they should on your reputation
-
Competing against firms with bigger marketing budgets
-
Intake forms that lose leads because they ask too much
-
Difficulty communicating expertise without sounding generic
They build corporate websites, not trust machines.
Most agencies treat a law firm website like a corporate brochure. They focus on impressive imagery and generic practice area lists instead of what converts: building trust, demonstrating expertise and making contact effortless. They miss that a person choosing a lawyer is making one of the most personal decisions of their life.

Frequently asked questions
How do lawyers get clients online?
Mostly through search. Someone with a legal problem searches for a lawyer near them or for their type of case, compares two or three firms, reads the reviews and contacts one. Getting clients online means being on that shortlist: a complete Google Business Profile, a page for each practice area and location, recent reviews, and a way to contact you that takes under a minute.
Does SEO work for law firms?
Yes, and it is the channel with the longest tail. Rankings for practice area and location searches take three to six months to build, then keep producing enquiries without a cost per click. It works best for firms that commit to substantive content written with the lawyers who run the matters.
How important are Google reviews for lawyers?
Very. Reviews decide the shortlist for most people choosing a lawyer, and they feed the map ranking too. A steady flow of recent reviews matters more than a large total, so we set up a request at the moment a matter closes well.
What should a law firm website include?
A page for each practice area, the lawyers' credentials and photos, case results where your regulator allows them, reviews, office locations with maps, and a contact path that works on a phone: a call, a short form or a chat. Everything else is secondary.
How much should a law firm spend on marketing?
It depends on the value of a matter and how many you can take on. As a rule of thumb, firms in growth mode invest between five and ten percent of revenue, weighted towards search and reviews. We agree on a target in consultations first and size the budget to it, not the other way round.
