Law
2024
A mid-sized regional law firm specialising in commercial and employment law sought to increase inbound enquiries from high-value corporate clients. Despite strong legal expertise, their digital presence lacked visibility and authority.
Summary
The firm's website ranked poorly for competitive local and service-specific keywords. Content was minimal, technical SEO issues affected crawlability, and competitors dominated search results. Enquiries were inconsistent and largely referral-based.
Challenge

- Weak on-page optimisation and metadata gaps.
- Limited authoritative content.
