SEO, PPC and AI-search marketing for solicitors in the UK
Legal is one of the most expensive categories in search advertising, and the firms that win combine strong organic visibility, tightly managed paid search and a reputation that AI assistants recognise. We work with personal injury, family, immigration, estate planning and business law firms. Pricing pages required by the Transparency Rules are also strong SEO assets: “conveyancing fees” and “probate solicitor cost” searches have clear commercial intent.
Regulators and rules for solicitors in the UK
Marketing has to work within these. We build them into briefs, copy and ad reviews from the start.
Who sets the rules
- Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA)
- Bar Standards Board (barristers)
- ASA / CAP Code
What it means for marketing
- The SRA Transparency Rules require price and service information on your website for certain services, including residential conveyancing, probate, and some employment, immigration and motoring matters.
- Firms must display SRA regulatory information and the SRA digital badge.
Common challenges
- Click costs for practice areas like personal injury are among the highest on Google
- Directories and lead-generation sites outrank individual firms for many searches
- Professional conduct rules limit claims, testimonials and how results can be described
- Intake teams waste time on unqualified enquiries from the wrong practice area or jurisdiction
