✓ For lawyers
What you get

What does SEO do for your law firm?

Less dependence on referrals and ads, more direct enquiries from a channel you own. Here is how we approach it for lawyers.

01

A page per practice area

Family law, employment law, motoring law or corporate law: every area gets its own clear page. That way Google finds you for the matter the client is searching for, not just your firm’s name.

02

Found in your city and region

We match your practice areas to what people actually type, such as ‘divorce lawyer Leeds’ or ‘unfair dismissal solicitor’, and to the regions where you practise.

03

A website that builds trust

Legal advice is a sensitive topic for Google. That’s why we clearly show who you are: your lawyers, their professional registration, experience and publications, on a fast site with a clear structure.

04

Answers to legal questions

What does a divorce cost? How long is my notice period? Clear answers to what clients google. Created with AI, reviewed by experts and only published after your approval.

05

Recommended by AI assistants

More and more people ask ChatGPT or Google which lawyer to choose. With clear profiles, structured data and consistent firm details everywhere, you make it into those answers.

How it works

From analysis to more enquiries in five steps.

1

Firm analysis

We go through your website: practice areas, lawyer profiles, structure, speed and your visibility in Google and AI.

2

Opportunities per practice area

We put search demand next to your practice and region, so we start with the areas of law and cities that generate the most enquiries.

3

Technical foundations in order

We tackle issues with indexing, speed, mobile use and structured data in order of impact on your enquiries.

4

Content that builds trust

Practice area pages and answers to legal questions in natural, local English, and in other languages if you also advise clients in other languages. You approve all content.

5

Publish and track

We publish and track in Cockpit how your rankings, AI mentions and enquiries through your website grow.

Why now

Clients increasingly ask AI which lawyer to choose.

Anyone with a legal problem first asks ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google. They explain the basics and often name a few firms straight away. Lawyers with clear practice area pages, recognisable expertise and consistent details make that shortlist. The rest don’t get mentioned, however good they are in court.

Local

Law firms in your market.

What makes law firms different locally, and how we take that into account.

01

Chosen locally, by region

Clients look for a lawyer close to home or to the court where their case is heard. We build pages per city and region, and get your Google Business Profile in order for each office.

02

Clients in more than one language

If your clients search in more than one language, we align language versions, hreflang and keywords per language, so your firm is found separately in each language.

03

Search terms the way your clients type them

Clients search with their own legal terms, such as ‘redundancy pay’, ‘small claims court’ or ‘legal aid lawyer’. We base your pages on local search data and the law that applies in your jurisdiction.

Within the rules

What professional rules require of your firm’s website.

Lawyers work within strict professional rules. That’s why we take your code of conduct into account in every piece of copy, and make the right details visible to clients, Google and AI.

01

Marketing within your code of conduct

Lawyers may market their services within the rules of their professional body. That means truthful, dignified and respecting client confidentiality: no client names, no claims you can’t substantiate. You always have the final say.

02

Registration, title and company details

State which professional body you are registered with, your professional title and your company registration details, consistently everywhere. That way a client immediately knows who they are dealing with, and Google and AI assistants recognise your firm as a reliable source.

03

Legal aid and fee options

Do you also take on legal aid work? Many people search for whether they qualify for legal aid or free legal advice. A clear page on this helps them and makes you findable for those searches.

Frequently asked questions about SEO for lawyers

Why is SEO important for a law firm?+

Because many clients start their search online, with a concrete question or with a practice area and a city. Whoever ranks at the top gets the enquiry without paying per click. On top of that, AI assistants take a large share of their recommendations from websites that rank well and are clearly written.

What does SEO for lawyers cost at Spacebird?+

Our plans start from €895/month. With a 2-year contract you save up to 30%. Which plan fits depends on the size of your website, your market and your ambitions. You’ll find all plans on our pricing page, or request your free AI visibility plan and an expert will recommend the plan that fits.

How quickly does SEO deliver extra enquiries?+

Technical improvements and a strong Google Business Profile often take effect within a few weeks. New practice area pages and legal articles usually need three to six months to rank solidly, depending on your region and your competitors. In Cockpit you see every month what is improving.

Am I allowed to do SEO under my professional code of conduct?+

In most jurisdictions, yes. Lawyers may market their services as long as it is truthful, dignified and respects client confidentiality. SEO fits that well: you inform clients with clear explanations of your practice areas. We avoid misleading claims and client details, and you approve every text. If you’re unsure about a rule, check with your professional body.

Do I need a page per practice area and per city?+

Usually, yes. Someone searching for ‘employment lawyer Bristol’ wants a page about exactly that. One generic page with all your areas rarely ranks. We build a page per practice area and, where it makes sense, per city or region, with unique content and no copies with a different place name.

How do I get recommended as a lawyer by ChatGPT and other AI?+

AI assistants mention lawyers they understand well and can verify. Make sure you have a clear page per practice area, profiles with registration and experience, and consistent firm details everywhere, including your Google Business Profile. Read how we approach this under AI SEO and GEO and local SEO. With the free AI visibility check you can see whether AI already mentions your firm today.
