Law firms · Marketing strategy
Decide which practice area to grow within what advertising rules allow.
A marketing strategy for a law firm starts with which practice area has capacity and genuine demand. It then works backwards to the content, directories and referral relationships needed, within the Bar Council's advertising restrictions. GullySales builds this with your partners and reports on it every month.
A 90-minute audit call and a written, scored report. Turnaround, reporting and term are agreed in writing after the audit.
What marketing strategy means
Marketing strategy is the plan for which channels to use, in what order and with what budget. This way, marketing spend is aimed at a goal instead of tried one channel at a time. GullySales sets this plan after the free audit, based on where your buyers actually search and decide.
For law firms
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The plan has to work within advertising restrictions from the start”
A strategy built around tactics that assume normal advertising freedom wastes effort correcting course later.
“The firms that send you work belong in the plan”
Chartered accountants, other lawyers and past clients who refer work deserve the same planned attention as any content strategy.
“The plan states which practice area waits”
A smaller firm cannot build content and referral relationships for every practice area at once, and the plan says which comes first.
What we do
What we deliver for law firms.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A written strategy by practice area and capacity
A document setting out which practice area gets marketing attention first, based on genuine capacity and demand.
Result: Partners agree on priorities instead of everything competing at once.
A referral relationship plan alongside content
A specific plan for maintaining relationships with chartered accountants, other lawyers and past clients, planned with the same attention as content.
Result: Referral relationships get deliberate attention, not occasional effort.
A compliance framework built into the plan
Every planned activity checked against Bar Council advertising restrictions before it is scheduled, not after.
Result: The plan avoids wasted effort correcting a compliant course later.
A sequencing plan for practice areas that wait
A written note on which practice areas wait, and what would trigger moving them up the plan.
Result: Partners know what is deferred and why, not just what is happening now.
A report on consultations and referrals
A report on consultation numbers and which referral relationships are sending work, checked against the baseline.
Result: Partners read consultation counts instead of arguing from impressions.
How the result is measured
- Enquiries against target
- Cost per enquiry
- Channel contribution to revenue
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
Who it is for
This is written for these law firms.
- Litigation and dispute resolution practices
- Corporate and M&A law firms
- Family law practices
- Intellectual property law firms
- Real estate and property law practices
- Tax and compliance law practices

Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- You want a guaranteed Google ranking or a guaranteed number of leads. Nobody honest can promise either.
- You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
- You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.
How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Each step has a point in time and something you receive.
01 · Day 1
Free audit call
90 minutes with whoever handles your enquiries: how they arrive, how fast they are answered, where they are lost.
02 · After the call
Written, scored report
Six areas scored, fixes ranked by return and cost. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come with it, in writing.
03 · Before work starts
Baseline recorded
Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later month has an honest comparison.
04 · Month 1
The first fix goes live
Usually the cheapest one on the report: reply time, a follow-up sequence or the marketing-to-sales handover.
05 · As agreed
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.
06 · At the end of the term
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.
How the work runs for law firms
- 1

Fix the follow-up
A consultation request routine that replies quickly, staying within the profession's rules on client communication.
- 3
Build informative content
Practice area pages that explain the process and the firm's experience, written to inform rather than solicit.
- 4
Build visibility
Legal directory listings, referral relationships with chartered accountants and other professionals, and published articles.
- 5
Convert and retain
A clear consultation-to-retainer process, a steady client communication cadence, and a referral ask from satisfied clients.

Why us
Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.
Marketing and sales, as one job
Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.
The person on the first call does the work
No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.
A baseline before anything starts
Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.
The fee in writing, split three ways
Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.

The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.
