Currently accepting selective engagements By Gregg King · SEO for Solicitors · Updated May 2026

SEO for solicitors. AI search visibility for UK law firms.

I’m Gregg King — an independent SEO consultant for solicitors and law firms across the UK. SRA-compliant SEO, Google Maps and AI search visibility, done by me personally on a selective basis. No account managers, no juniors, no tie-in contracts.

Often called lawyer SEO, legal SEO or law firm SEO — the industry uses the terms interchangeably. Sometimes searched as a law firm SEO agency — though I work as a single senior consultant, not an agency.

The model

SEO for solicitors. Not a side-of-the-desk service.

Most SEO for solicitors is junior-led, templated, and indifferent to the SRA Code of Conduct. This is the opposite of that.

01

You get the consultant who pitched

The senior consultant you spoke to is the one writing the audit, briefing the work, shipping the changes and writing the reports.

Not an account manager. Not an offshore content desk.
02

Content that won’t get your COLP a letter

I write to the SRA Code of Conduct, Transparency Rules and Rule 8.8. No unverified specialist claims, no comparative misleading copy.

No AI-generated content shipped without a qualified review.
03

Built for Google AI Overviews and LLMs

77% of UK legal queries now trigger AI Overviews. ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini are already part of the buyer journey.

Every engagement covers both classic SEO and AI visibility from day one.
The lead asset

The SRA-Compliant AI Visibility Audit.

Before we commit to anything, you get a detailed audit of how your firm shows up across Google search, Google Maps, Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Copilot.

Every finding is cross-referenced against your SRA register entry, ReviewSolicitors profile, Chambers and Legal 500 listings, and Google Business Profile — then translated into a prioritised, SRA-aware action plan.

  • 14-day turnaround, delivered as a partner-readable report
  • Tested across the five practice areas that matter most to your firm
  • Includes a 60-minute walkthrough call
  • SRA Code of Conduct Rule 8.8 compliant throughout

Most law firms still treat SEO like a 2018 problem. The firms that win the next three years will be the ones who realised the buyer journey now starts inside an AI assistant — and built for it before the rest of the market noticed.

Practice areas

Eight practice areas where SEO actually moves instructions.

Each has its own search behaviour, intent and SRA-sensitivity. Engagements are shaped accordingly — not borrowed from a generic legal template.

01 · Private client

Wills, probate, LPAs & trusts

An ageing UK demographic with high search intent and high lifetime value. Local pack and AI Overview presence both matter.

Explore
02 · Family law

Divorce, children & financial

Recession-resistant, emotionally charged, local search dominant. SRA-sensitive content with high conversion intent.

Explore
03 · Conveyancing

Residential & new build

Brutally competitive and CPC-heavy. Local pack visibility and Google Business Profile carry most of the weight.

Explore
04 · Commercial property

Leases, acquisitions & finance

B2B intent meets local Maps overlap. Lower volume, higher value per instruction, AI search heavily underused.

Explore
05 · Employment

Tribunals & settlements

Both B2C (employees) and B2B (employers). Two distinct journeys, two distinct SEO and AI strategies inside one firm.

Explore
06 · Personal injury

RTA, EL & clinical negligence

Dominated by national brands buying paid traffic. Regional firms win with hyperlocal SEO, AI citations and review depth.

Explore
07 · Wills & probate

Estate planning & admin

Strong AI Overview triggers, question-led search behaviour, and a buyer demographic that increasingly asks Gemini before they ring.

Explore
08 · Immigration

Visa, settlement & asylum

Highly regulated, OISC and SRA boundaries to respect. Multi-language and AI search are both growth surfaces here.

How I work

How working together actually works.

No retainer lock-ins, no inflated reports, no jargon. Same process for every firm, shaped to the work.

  • 01
    Intro callThirty minutes. We work out whether I’m the right fit for the firm — and whether the firm is the right fit for me.
  • 02
    SRA-Compliant AI Visibility AuditI dig into your site, your SRA register entry, your AI search presence, your competitors and your market. You get a prioritised plan: what to do, why, and what each piece of work should move.
  • 03
    ImplementationHands-on. Changes get shipped to your live site — by me, alongside your in-house team, or briefed for your developers. SRA-aware throughout.
  • 04
    Monthly reportingPlain English. What we shipped, what moved, what’s next. Including AI search visibility tracking, not just Google rankings.
One thing I won’t pretend. Nobody can guarantee rankings, AI citations or specific outcomes — and the SRA wouldn’t let me even if I could. What I guarantee is the seniority, rationale and honesty of the work, and reporting you can actually understand.
Fit

Is this the right kind of engagement for your firm?

The honest version. The model works well for some firms and not others. Knowing which side you sit on saves us both a call.

Good fit

The fit works well when…

  • You’re a UK law firm, regulated by the SRA, CLC, OISC or BSB
  • You have 10 to 100 fee earners and meaningful practice area depth
  • You want a senior consultant who understands the Code of Conduct, not another agency carousel
  • You’re prepared to commit to six to twelve months of compounding work
  • You value honesty over inflated forecasts and rank-tracking screenshots
Probably not

Probably not the right fit if…

  • You need overnight wins or guaranteed rankings
  • You’re outside the UK — I only work with UK-regulated law firms
  • You’re a non-legal business — I no longer take work outside the legal sector
  • You need a junior team you can give detailed daily instructions to
  • You’d rather a low-cost monthly fee than senior depth

UKSRA-regulated firms only

The firms getting the best results were always the ones with senior people doing the work, on a small number of accounts, with deep context.

I’ve spent twenty years in search and marketing — agency-side, in-house, freelance, founder. That observation is what shaped this consultancy.

Most agencies grow by adding clients, adding juniors and adding layers between strategist and the work. I went the other way: a selective number of law firm clients, with me as the consultant who actually does the work.

I focus only on UK law firms because the work depends on understanding how UK clients search, how the SRA thinks about marketing, and how AI assistants now decide which firm to recommend. Trying to do that across other sectors would dilute everything that makes the offer worth premium fees.

Common questions

Answers before you book.

The questions partners and practice managers ask most often — straight answers.

Got a different one? Ask me
The modelHow are you different from a legal SEO agency?

I work directly with a maximum of a selective number of law firms, and every piece of work is done by me. No account managers, no junior delivery team, no offshore content desk. I also write to the SRA Code of Conduct and Transparency Rules from the start — not as an afterthought once a partner spots a problem.

SRA & complianceDo you understand the SRA marketing rules?

Yes. Every piece of content, page, and recommendation respects Rule 8.8 (accurate and not misleading), the Transparency Rules (cost and complaints information, SRA digital badge, fee earner credentials), and the rules around specialist claims, testimonials and comparative advertising. In October 2024 the SRA also clarified that all AI-generated content must be reviewed by a qualified person before publication — that’s built into the workflow.

AI searchWhat does “AI search visibility” actually mean for a law firm?

Three things. First, getting your firm cited inside Google AI Overviews (which now trigger on 77% of UK legal queries). Second, being recommended by name when prospective clients ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini or Copilot for legal help. Third, ensuring your SRA register entry, Google Business Profile, ReviewSolicitors page, Chambers and Legal 500 entries are all consistent enough for AI systems to treat your firm as a trusted recommendation.

GeographyDo you work with law firms outside England and Wales?

Yes. I work with firms regulated by the SRA in England and Wales, the Law Society of Scotland in Scotland, and the Law Society of Northern Ireland in Northern Ireland. CLC-regulated conveyancers and OISC-regulated immigration advisers also welcome.

ApproachDo you guarantee rankings or AI citations?

No, and the SRA wouldn’t let me even if I could — that would breach Rule 8.8 on misleading publicity. Rankings depend on Google. AI citations depend on how language models are retrained. What I guarantee is the seniority of the work, the rationale behind it, and a monthly conversation about what is and isn’t moving the needle.

EngagementHow long is a typical engagement?

Most engagements run six to twelve months, with some firms moving to a quarterly senior-advisory retainer afterwards. I don’t tie firms into long contracts. If the work isn’t earning its place, you should be free to stop.

PricingWhat does an engagement cost?

Premium consultancy pricing — meaningfully more than a mid-tier legal SEO agency, meaningfully less than top-tier global advisory. Exact figures depend on the firm’s size, practice areas and current visibility position, and are quoted per engagement after the intro call. If price is the deciding factor, we’re probably not a fit.

Book a thirty-minute intro call. No pitch deck, no obligation, no sales sequence afterwards. If we’re not a fit, I’ll tell you so — and where I can, I’ll point you to someone who is.
