Entity SEO and knowledge graph optimisation for UK law firms.
AI assistants need entity confidence
When ChatGPT or Gemini decides whether to name your firm, they need to be confident about who you are. Entity inconsistencies kill that confidence.
Knowledge Graph eligibility
Google’s Knowledge Graph powers rich brand panels in SERPs. Entity SEO is what gets your firm there.
Most firms have entity inconsistencies they cannot see
Variations in firm name, address, fee earner count, practice areas between SRA register and other sources. AI penalises this silently.
What this engagement actually does.
Entity audit across all major sources
SRA register, Google Business Profile, ReviewSolicitors, Chambers, Legal 500, Lexcel, Companies House, LinkedIn — all cross-referenced.
Inconsistency fixes prioritised by impact
Fix the inconsistencies that most damage AI trust first. Document the rest for systematic correction.
SRA register entry optimisation
Make the SRA register entry as complete and current as possible — it is the highest-weighted single source for UK legal AI recommendations.

Where eligible, claim and optimise your Google Knowledge Panel.

Ongoing entity monitoring

Entity SEO FAQs.
FAQ 1Is this different from regular SEO?
Yes. Regular SEO targets keyword rankings. Entity SEO defines and reinforces who your firm is as a recognisable entity AI can recommend.
FAQ 2Does this matter if we are smaller?
Yes — arguably more. Smaller firms have less brand recognition, so entity definition matters more for AI confidence.
FAQ 3How long does entity SEO take?
Initial fixes weeks. Compounding entity strengthening 6-12 months.
FAQ 4Will we get a Knowledge Panel?
Sometimes. Eligibility depends on multiple factors. We work toward it but cannot guarantee.
FAQ 5Is this just SRA register cleanup?
SRA register cleanup is the highest-leverage part but entity SEO covers a wider set of sources.
