Intellectual property lawyers · Digital marketing
Spend effort on the few channels where an IP client actually looks for a lawyer.
Digital marketing for an intellectual property practice is choosing and running the small set of online channels that bring registration, enforcement and defence enquiries, and recording what each one brings. GullySales builds the plan from your matter types and checks it against your professional body's rules.
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 intellectual property lawyers
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Not every channel suits a legal practice”
A practice serving designers and makers meets them in different places from one serving corporate legal heads. Spreading effort across every network leaves each too thin to be noticed.
“Paid search is bought by the urgent”
A brand owner who finds a copy may search and click an advertisement. Whether your professional body allows that, and what the advertisement may say, has to be settled before money is spent.
“The enquiry record decides the plan”
Without a log showing source and matter type, a partner cannot tell if a channel works. The plan is only as good as the record that feeds it.
“Digital work supports introductions”
Agency and incubator introductions are still the strongest route for some practices. A good site and profile make a referred person comfortable once they look you up.
What we do
What we deliver for intellectual property lawyers.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A channel plan by matter type
A short plan saying which channels serve registration, enforcement and defence, and which are left alone.
Result: Every channel in the plan has a reason.
A website that answers situations
Pages for each stage of an IP problem, linked from search, profiles and introductions.
Result: A visitor from any channel lands on a relevant page.
A professional-body check
A step where every advertisement, post and page is read against what your body permits.
Result: Nothing goes live unchecked.
An enquiry log by source
A record of each enquiry's matter type, source and outcome.
Result: The partners can compare channels from one sheet.
A review of the plan
A sit-down with the partners to read the log and change the plan.
Result: The plan changes because of what the log shows.
How the result is measured
- Enquiries across channels
- Cost per enquiry overall
- Channel mix by contribution

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.
