Family lawyers · Social media
Use social media to explain family law calmly, never to chase a family in crisis.
Social media marketing for a family lawyer means sharing careful, general explanations of family matters on the platforms where your referrers and the wider public already spend time. GullySales plans a restrained presence that informs, respects confidentiality and stays inside bar council rules.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What social media means
Social media is the ongoing posting your business does on platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn to stay visible to customers and prospects between purchases. GullySales plans a posting calendar, writes captions and designs the images so the page looks active and answers what a visitor would ask.

For family lawyers
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“A family dispute is not a post to be liked”
Few people want to be seen reacting to a post about divorce or custody. A feed built for engagement suits a bakery better than a family practice, so judge posts by usefulness, not by reactions.
“Referrers read your posts, not just clients”
A counsellor, a banker or a chartered accountant may follow your page to learn what you take. A steady, sober presence tells them the practice is serious and the matters are handled with care.
“Anything resembling a client story is off limits”
A disguised case can still identify a household, and the rules for advocates are strict. Stay with general explanations of process, documents and terms, and keep every client account out.
“Platform choice matters more than volume”
A professional network suits introductions to referrers, while a video platform suits a plain explanation of what a will needs. Choose one or two platforms you can keep up with, and check each platform's current rules.
What we do
What we deliver for family lawyers.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A platform choice note
A short recommendation on which one or two platforms suit your referrers and your readers, with reasons.
Result: You know where to be and where not to be.
An explainer post plan
A list of general topics, such as what a guardianship order covers, each written to inform and not to press.
Result: A partner can review a full set before anything is posted.
A review-before-posting routine
A simple step where a partner reads each post against bar council rules before it goes out.
Result: Nothing reaches the public unchecked.
Post templates
Plain layouts for a short explanation, a document checklist and a notice of an office change.
Result: Posts look consistent without extra design work each time.
A comments and messages rule
Wording for how the office answers a comment or direct message without discussing a matter in public.
Result: Public replies stay general and private matters move to a private route.

We review existing pages, past content performance and any gaps in consistency.
- 3
Build the content calendar
A plan is created, balancing genuine value with occasional direct offers.
- 4

- 5
Measure and optimise
We track enquiries alongside engagement and adjust the content mix based on what actually performs.
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.
