LegalTech startups · Digital marketing
Spend where a firm or a founder is searching, and stop where nobody is.
Digital marketing for a LegalTech startup covers search, paid ads, email, LinkedIn and the site, all aimed at the lawyers, legal teams and founders who can use your product. GullySales works on choosing the channels per buyer, setting up tracking and reading results against paid trials.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What digital marketing means
Digital marketing is the combined work of search, social media, advertising and website channels running together rather than as separate projects with separate people. GullySales runs these as one connected system so a change in one channel, such as a new offer, is reflected everywhere at once.

For LegalTech startups
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Firms and founders need separate channels”
A litigation firm is reached by an introduction, a peer and LinkedIn. A founder needing a registration is reached by search and WhatsApp. One budget spread over both reaches neither well.
“Compliance dates make demand visible”
Annual filings and return dates push companies to search at set points in the year. Ads and pages timed to those windows reach people already looking, which a general campaign cannot.
“Clicks are cheap and trials are the measure”
A campaign judged on clicks fills reports with students and trainees. The figure that matters is how many firms with the right practice and size reached a trial and used it.
“Paid ads for advocates have limits”
Rules on how advocates are approached and advertised differ from ordinary business. If your campaign speaks about or for a lawyer's own practice, your counsel should see it first.
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.
A channel plan per buyer
Search, LinkedIn, email and referral work assigned to firms, in-house teams and online-service buyers.
Result: Each buyer has a channel and a reason for it.
Search ads on compliance windows
Ads and a landing page for each filing or registration task, timed to its period.
Result: Each task has its own ad and page.
Tracking from click to paid trial
Source and campaign recorded against trial start and payment.
Result: You can see cost against paid firms, not clicks.
An email set for demonstrations and trials
Short emails for post-demo, first-session and quiet-trial moments.
Result: Every stage has a message ready.
Counsel review of ad copy
A check by your lawyer on anything that touches advocates or legal outcomes.
Result: No ad goes live without that sign-off.
How the result is measured
- Enquiries across channels
- Cost per enquiry overall
- Channel mix by contribution
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
Searches your buyers type
Pair each channel with the search or moment it answers.
- company annual return filing
- A search ad and landing page for secretaries and founders near a filing window, ending in the order or demo form.
- legal notice drafting online
- A search page for the online service with the scope, the reviewer and a clear price band. Use factual ad copy checked by counsel.
- case management software for lawyers
- A search ad to the product page for litigation offices, with a demo form that asks practice area and city.
- contract review tool for startups
- An ad and page for founders with in-house needs, naming document types and showing a sample review.
- LinkedIn audience of managing partners
- A targeted ad for firm buyers to the data page and demo. Test it against search before spending more.
- email set after a demo
- A short series to demo attendees with the recap, the first-session guide and a single question. It ties channels to trials.

Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- Your trial and order paths are unfinished, so paid clicks would arrive at a step that loses them.
- You cannot yet track a click through to a paid trial, so spend would run without any means to judge it.
- You have not had your ad wording checked by counsel, which matters when advocates and legal services are involved.
How it works
How the digital marketing 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
Agree the one aim
We settle what the campaign must achieve, such as enquiries for a launch or footfall for an event, and the date it must be live.
- 2
Check what is ready
We list the channels you already run, who runs them, and what each can produce in the time available. Anything that cannot be done properly is left out.
- 3
Write the idea and the message sheet
We draft the one-sentence idea, test it against each planned format, and fix the wording that all channels will copy.
- 4
Brief every channel from the same sheet
Your agency, freelancer or in-house person receives the message sheet and calendar. Their work is checked against the sheet before it goes out.
- 5
Run on the shared calendar
Channels go live together. If the offer changes, every channel is changed on the same day from the same sheet.
- 6
Measure as one campaign
Enquiries and orders are read against the baseline. The reporting schedule is agreed in writing with the scope.
Where this fits
Three pieces of sales work, in this order.
This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.
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.
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.
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.
