A few of the many businesses we've worked with, big and small

The marketing problems we see in legal services

Same patterns turn up over and over. If any of these sound familiar, you're in the right place.

01. All your competitors look identical

Most law firm websites use the same template, same stock imagery, same hollow phrases. Standing out is harder than it should be.

02. Compliance worries slow everything down

SRA Code of Conduct on advertising, AML obligations, GDPR. Marketing has to handle all of it properly. We've done legal sector work for years; we know the rules.

03. Solicitors hate selling, clients hate being sold to

Pushy marketing damages legal brands. Authority-led content marketing builds trust without ever 'selling'.

04. Lead-gen sites cost a fortune and dilute your brand

Per-lead pricing on referral platforms gets expensive fast and the leads aren't yours. SEO and content build long-term assets that you own.

Marketing for legal services: what we know

Legal is one of our specialist sectors. We understand SRA marketing rules, the way clients actually search for solicitors, and the distinction between a casual enquiry and a serious instruction. Marketing that builds authority without crossing professional lines.

Common questions from legal services clients

Do you understand SRA marketing rules?

Yes. We work with several SRA-regulated firms and understand the Code of Conduct rules on marketing, transparency, and complaints handling. We won’t accidentally land you in compliance trouble.

Can you write technical legal content?

Yes. UK-based writers, fact-checked by your solicitors before publication. We’d never publish legal content without sign-off from a qualified solicitor at your firm. Authority requires accuracy.

How quickly should we expect results?

Legal SEO is one of the slower verticals. Six to twelve months for meaningful traffic growth, twelve to eighteen months for compounding gains. Anyone promising fast results in legal is doing something Google will eventually punish.

Do you handle PPC for legal?

Yes, but selectively. Some legal verticals are very expensive on Google Ads (clinical negligence, personal injury). Where PPC makes sense (local probate, conveyancing), we run targeted campaigns. We’ll tell you honestly when to skip it.

I just want to say, the guys over at Cheshire Cat Marketing are amazing! I couldn’t have asked for a better bunch of people to constantly be in contact with. Whether it was checking up on me and my business or being open to listening to my ever changing ideas! Everything in between too! I would recommend them to anyone wanting, social media or anything marketing wise for your business!

I’ve just phoned and spoken to Rhi, who has been absolutely incredible! I phoned to cheekily ask for some advice, as I am fundraising for a charity event. She was incredible, offering advice, guidance and ideas. The support was truly incredible and has allowed me now to hopefully generate more publicity and support for the event I am supporting.I am in awe of her friendly disposition and her generosity of her experience.Her entire demeanour was approachable and supportive and offered a true unique perspective, whilst being situational and economically aware.So pleased, and touched to have had such a wonderful and postive interaction and would encourage anyone to use their services again.

The Cheshire Cat team are fantastic. They really care about understanding your business and doing a great job. Each time they send me some posts to approve I'm always thrilled with the results - and with 20+ years marketing experience, I'm not an easy person to please! We've seen our followers steadily grow whilst we've been working with them - recommended!
