LegalTech startups · Search engine optimisation

Rank for the task the lawyer is stuck on, not for the word LegalTech.

SEO for a LegalTech startup is the work of appearing when a lawyer, company secretary or founder searches for a task such as drafting a notice, tracking a hearing or filing a return. GullySales works on the pages, the searches behind them and the signals a cautious buyer reads before trusting you.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What search engine optimisation means

Search engine optimisation (SEO) is the work of getting your website to appear when a buyer searches Google for what you sell. GullySales builds pages around real search terms, fixes technical issues that block ranking, and tracks which searches actually bring enquiries.

For LegalTech startups

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “Nobody searches for the category you named yourself”

    A partner types the task, such as a trademark objection reply or a board resolution format, and does not type legal technology. Pages titled around your product label miss the search that carries a real problem.

  • “Two audiences search with the same words and want different pages”

    A founder looking up a company registration wants a price and a scope. A firm looking up case management software wants storage and access answers. One page trying to serve both satisfies neither.

  • “A thin security page loses the click it earned”

    A firm arrives from search, scans for hosting location and access control, and finds a paragraph of general reassurance. The ranking did its job and the page undid it.

  • “Explainers drift into advice”

    A page that tells a reader what to do in their own dispute reads as legal advice. Search pages that explain how a process works, reviewed by a lawyer you name, stay useful and stay on the right side of that line.

What we do

What we deliver for LegalTech startups.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. A search map by task and by buyer

    Searches grouped by the work a lawyer, company secretary or founder is trying to finish, each assigned to a page.

    Result: Every page has a search it is meant to answer.

  2. Product pages written around the job

    One page per use, such as hearing diary, clause review or compliance calendar, with a screenshot and a plain description.

    Result: A reader finds the page for their task and not a general overview.

  3. A security and data page that can rank and convince

    Storage location, access control and data on exit, signed off by your own counsel.

    Result: A visiting firm finds the answers without writing in.

  4. Explainers reviewed by a lawyer

    Plain-language pieces on how a process works, each marked as information.

    Result: Each piece names its reviewer and carries no advice.

  5. Technical checks on the site

    Page titles, internal links, indexing and speed read against the pages that matter.

    Result: A list of fixes ordered by the pages they affect.

How the result is measured

  • Ranking positions
  • Organic traffic
  • Enquiries from organic search

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

How it works

How the search engine optimisation work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Audit and baseline

    We record where the site stands today: positions, traffic, technical faults and the enquiries search currently produces. Nothing starts until this number is written down.

  2. 2

    Decide what to rank for

    We map the searches your buyers use, in your words and theirs, and pick the ones worth the effort for your margin and your capacity.

  3. 3

    Fix the foundations

    Technical faults first, because the cheapest gains are usually there. Then the Business Profile and directory consistency.

  4. 4

    Build the pages

    A page for each thing you do, written to answer the question it is searched for, with a clear next step at the end.

  5. 5

    Publish and earn mentions

    Content goes out on the calendar. Links and mentions are earned from real relationships, not bought.

  6. 6

    Measure, report, adjust

    At the interval agreed at the start we report what moved and what did not, and change the plan when the numbers say so.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 1, prospecting and lead generation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2 · you are here

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Can we promise first-page ranking to our investors?
No. Rankings depend on competitors and on search engines, and nobody can promise them. We report the pages built, the searches they target and the visits and enquiries that arrive.
Do we need a blog for SEO?
Only where it answers a search someone makes. A handful of reviewed explainers on real tasks serve you better than a long feed of general legal news.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
