Key Result94% โ€” increase in organic traffic to practice area pages

the law firm was consistently underperforming on mid-market corporate legal search queries despite being an AIM-listed firm with genuinely strong credentials. Thin, unoptimised content meant business leaders researching legal support online couldn't find them.

Practice area pages lacked the depth of content needed to rank for research-stage queries โ€” the questions that CFOs and business owners ask before they select a law firm. the law firm's expertise existed but wasn't visible online.

No automated mechanism distributed thought leadership to the existing contact database or maintained engagement with prospective clients during the 3โ€“6 month consideration period typical of mid-market legal decisions.

Lessons Learned

What this engagement taught us.

These principles carry forward into every engagement that follows โ€” applicable well beyond Mid-Market Legal Services Firm's specific context.

Industry

Duration

Ongoing engagement

01

Law firms win search by covering the research questions, not just the service pages.

A page titled 'Employment Law Services' rarely ranks for the queries business owners actually type. Content that answers 'what to do if an employee brings an unfair dismissal claim' ranks, attracts, and converts at far higher rates.

02

Mid-market legal buyers self-research for 3โ€“6 months before contacting a firm.

The legal buying cycle is long. Organic content that intercepts buyers at the research stage โ€” and an email programme that maintains visibility โ€” captures a significantly larger share of enquiries than campaigns that only target active searchers.

03

Location-specific structured data captures regional intent that national pages miss.

Structured data markup for the law firm's regional offices drove a material increase in location-intent search visibility โ€” queries like 'commercial lawyer Birmingham' where the firm had strong credentials but poor organic visibility.
