SEO for law firms
Search Engine Optimisation: A Strong Case For Investment
Marketing in the legal services sector is incredibly challenging. Not only is the marketplace highly competitive but securing buy-in for digital marketing campaigns amongst senior partners can also be difficult.
Law firms have been relatively slow to adopt digital marketing and securing marketing investment relies on clear KPIs around cost-per-acquisition, return-oninvestment and increased revenue and profit. The results are worth it though.
Whilst law firms benefit from a very short sales funnel as most searches are made because people need legal advice it is essential to develop carefully targeted campaign supported with well thought out keyword strategies to achieve the industry standard average 4.35% conversion from search results.

SEO or Search Engine Optimisation is a mechanism to improve the position of a website within the search results from search engines such as Google.
SEO is particularly important for Google rankings because Googles Bots, which search the internet for information, use complex algorithms to identify pages that are considered to be relevant and authoritative.
Nearly everyone looking for legal services looks online – for both self-help and professional advice. Effective SEO only happens when online content is regularly updated and organised into campaigns which focus on specific legal services in focused local areas.
For firms that master the art of SEO it is possible to increase revenues for lower than average conversion costs. This is why it is essential to work with an experienced SEO consultancy.
Good SEO isn’t just about securing a first page position on Google:
- Customers search for local businesses. Does your website appear on the front page for local searches?
- Information online needs to be accurate and up to date.
- Dedicated pages for different services provide an opportunity to further enhance SEO
- Great online reviews help to enhance the impact of great SEO
- SEO is great for brand affirmation and recognition
- A well-optimized Google My Business Page can increase the chance of someone clicking through to your business
- Effective SEO delivers new business and that means an increase in revenue
- For Law Firms focussed campaign landing pages are essential
- Strategic use of keywords for specific campaigns (injury, family law, contract disputes) are essential, given the range of legal services available

We ensure that across an extensive range of measures that Google’s bots are able to find and interpret client website content.
Building Authority and Trust
To ensure that a website is seen as a trustworthy and relevant site for Google’s Bots it is essential to identify other high-performing sites with related content to be able to develop relationships with each publisher, providing content containing links back to our client’s blogs pages and core content pages.
