SEO for law firms

SEO makes the pages your customers need easy for search engines to find and understand, and easy for people to act on once they arrive. For law firms, that means getting practice area pages, lawyer profiles and what happens at a first consultation right, because people and businesses dealing with a legal problem want to make an enquiry or book a consultation without hunting for information.

What your customers are trying to do

People and businesses dealing with a legal problem want to make an enquiry or book a consultation.

A law firm website usually has to handle consultation bookings, matter intake before the first call, secure document sharing with clients and plain-language guides.

Consultation bookings: people ready to act want to lock in a time with the right lawyer.

Matter intake before the first call: basic matter details help route the enquiry and check for conflicts.

Secure document sharing with clients: documents sent by email are harder to track and secure.

Plain-language guides: guides help people understand their situation before they call.

What to have ready

Access to Google Search Console and your Google Business Profile, if you have them.
