Criminal defence lawyers · Search engine optimisation
Write the page that answers what a family types at midnight, not what the court calls it.
SEO for a criminal defence practice means writing pages that match the questions a relative or accused person types into a search box, and that load properly on a phone. GullySales works on page structure, plain procedural explainers and technical basics, and promises no position in results.
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 criminal defence lawyers
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Families search in plain words, not section numbers”
A parent types what happens after police take the son or daughter, or whether a person can get bail on a Sunday. Nobody types a section of the penal code. Pages titled with statute language miss the search; pages that answer the question in everyday words meet it.
“A thin page full of statutes ranks for nothing useful”
A list of every offence with one line each gives a reader nothing to act on and gives search engines little to match. One page per type of matter, covering first steps and the stages of a case, serves both the reader and the engine.
“Accuracy matters more than reach”
A page that misstates how bail or quashing works can mislead a frightened reader. Each explainer should be written by a partner and checked by another before it goes live, and revisited when the law or practice changes.
“The phone is the whole audience”
Most of these readers arrive on a mobile in poor signal. A heavy page, a slow banner or a tiny phone number loses them. Technical basics such as page weight and a tap-to-call button are part of SEO here.
What we do
What we deliver for criminal defence lawyers.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A search map of questions by stage of a case
A list of the plain questions asked at the station, at bail, at trial and on appeal, grouped by type of matter.
Result: Each page you write is tied to a real question, not a guess.
Explainer pages written to answer the question first
Pages that open with the first step, then explain procedure, written by a partner and checked by one.
Result: A reader finds the answer in the opening lines.
Page titles and descriptions in everyday words
Titles that name the situation and the city instead of the statute, with no claim of results.
Result: Search listings read like the question that was asked.
A technical clean-up for mobile
Page weight, tap-to-call and readable text on a small screen, checked on a real phone.
Result: The chamber's number can be called from the search result page without pinching or scrolling.
A review of which pages bring unsuitable enquiries
A read of the enquiry log against page visits, with pages rewritten where they attract matters you do not take.
Result: Pages are rewritten from evidence in your own log.

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
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
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
Fix the foundations
Technical faults first, because the cheapest gains are usually there. Then the Business Profile and directory consistency.
- 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
Publish and earn mentions
Content goes out on the calendar. Links and mentions are earned from real relationships, not bought.
- 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.
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.
