Patent attorneys · Search engine optimisation
Be the page an inventor reads when they search before showing the prototype.
SEO for a patent practice means the pages that appear when an inventor searches a field, a question or a type of filing. GullySales works on the page structure, the technical field wording and the questions inventors ask before they speak to anyone.
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 patent attorneys
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Inventors search a question, not a firm”
The searches are things like whether an idea can be patented, or what happens if it is shown at an expo first. A practice with a page that answers the question in plain words meets the inventor at that point.
“Technical vocabulary decides who reads on”
A pharmaceutical chemist and a mechanical designer use different words for similar worries. A page written in the vocabulary of the field signals that the attorney understands it, and a generic page signals the opposite.
“Thin pages for every filing type dilute the site”
A separate page for each filing type, each with two lines, adds nothing. A few strong pages by field, with the filing types explained inside them, give search engines and inventors more to read.
What we do
What we deliver for patent attorneys.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A map of questions inventors ask
The disclosure, novelty, provisional filing and cost-of-protection questions, listed by who asks them.
Result: One sheet shows which question each page on the site is meant to answer.
Field pages with the attorney's background
Each page states the degree or work behind the attorney's competence in that field.
Result: An inventor reads who is drafting before they ring.
A guide to disclosure before filing
Explains why a public showing can affect a later application and what to ask before an expo, a paper or a pitch.
Result: The guide is the page a nervous inventor lands on and then reads to the end.
Clean page titles and headings
Every page gets a title and heading that name the field and the service in the words a searcher uses.
Result: Search results show a page title that matches the question.
Technical checks on the site
Speed on a phone, page structure, links between field pages and the guide, and a sitemap that search engines can read.
Result: A short list of what was fixed, page by page.
How the result is measured
- Ranking positions
- Organic traffic

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.
