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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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 the result is measured

  • Ranking positions

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 you get us to the top of search results?
No one can promise a position. Results depend on competition, the quality of the pages and factors outside our control. We build pages that deserve to be found and show you what the data says.
Should the site list sections of the penal code?
Use them sparingly and always after the plain-language explanation. A reader searches in everyday words first. Check with your bar council on how much detail may be published about the kinds of cases you handle.
How long should an explainer page be?
As long as it takes to answer the question and no longer. A page on first steps after an arrest can be short and direct. A page on how a trial proceeds may need more. Judge by whether a worried reader gets what they came for.
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.
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.
