Authority that shows.
Clients that call.

Law firms, consultancies, audit firms and professional practices. Authority positioning of the managing partner, direct acquisition without intermediaries and cared digital reputation. Respecting professional college deontology, always.

We don’t sell product.
We sell trust in a team.

75%

of new matters in law firms and consultancies come from referral or search with already-built authority. Without partner digital presence, that door stays half-open.

What we mean by professional marketing

A client doesn’t hire a firm on price. They hire on a partner’s authority, a referral or a specific search at a specific moment of need. Marketing here is played between local SEO by practice area, managing-partner LinkedIn editorial and professional review management. No bait, no result promises, within the deontology code.

What we do differently

We tie every euro to qualified consultations and opened files, not impressions.

Real sector pains

If any of these ring a bell, we continue.

Not textbook hypotheses. The six problems managing partners of law firms, consultancies and professional firms most often tell us.

01

Without an active referrer no new matter comes in.

The firm grows when a satisfied client recommends. When that chain breaks or slows, revenue suffers and the managing partner discovers they have no own channel to compensate.

02

Your Google Business Profile appears, but doesn’t convert.

No professional office and team photos, no real practice-area description, no posts or answered FAQs. The listing exists, but doesn’t communicate authority or differentiation against other local firms.

03

The managing partner’s LinkedIn is abandoned.

A 2018 photo and two shared posts. The channel where the prospect decides whether to trust you is dead. No opinion on rulings, no regulatory analysis, no presence in the professional debate. Digital authority isn’t built this way.

04

A 2-star review has been unanswered for 9 months.

No one asks reviews from the satisfied client and no one answers the negatives. Result: 3.8 average, fewer listing clicks and prospects choosing the competitor with better reputational management even if a worse professional.

05

You search your practice area in your city and don’t appear.

"Labour lawyer Madrid", "compliance consultancy Barcelona", "auditor Valencia". High-intent searches with high fees behind. Not covered on your site. The client finds others before you, simply because you weren’t there.

06

Few matters a year, and each weighs.

You don’t seek volume: you seek the right case, from the right client, with fees that justify counsel. That demands precision marketing, not mass campaigns or bulk leads that saturate the first consultation and burn the team.

How we approach it

Partner authority, direct acquisition, cared reputation.

Every firm starts the same: first we understand how the client enters, which practice areas you prioritize and how you’re perceived against the five real competitors in your locale. No diagnosis, any tactic is a bet.

01

Authority and locale diagnosis

We audit web, Google Business profile, reviews, managing partner LinkedIn, media mentions and positioning against the 5 real competitors in your locale. Before moving a single piece, we know who you’re playing against.

02

Practice-area strategy

We define priority areas, real specialty search intents and an editorial calendar aligned with what your client searches before asking for counsel. All writing within the bar’s deontology.

03

Partner LinkedIn + local SEO + reviews

Coordinated execution: managing partner personal editorial, local SEO architecture by practice area, review request protocol to satisfied clients and professional replies to each review, positive or negative.

04

Qualified-consultations reporting

Forget impressions. We report inbound consultations by channel, matter type, estimated average value and conversion to opened file. The managing partner reads a report they understand and defend in committee.

Before investing one more euro

30 minutes with the managing partner and we tell you what to move first. No touching your fees.

What we do for professional services

Four capabilities. Built for chartered firms, not adapted from retail.

Combined by your real bottleneck: authority, direct acquisition or reputation. Where the entry of qualified matters breaks, we start there.

01Local SEO by practice area

Rank "labour lawyer Madrid", "auditor Bilbao".

Architecture by specialty, service pages with real professional jargon, internal linking between practice areas, LegalService or Organization schema. One Google Business listing per office with consistent NAP. So they find you when searching your specific specialty and locale, not generic intent-less terms.

  • −Pages per area and specialty
  • −LegalService / Organization schema
  • −GBP per office, consistent NAP
  • −Citations in bar directories
02Managing-partner LinkedIn editorial

Personal editorial that generates inbound consultations.

Monthly editorial plan of the managing partner: analysis of relevant rulings, opinion on regulatory changes, anonymized cases, jurisprudence comments. Two modes: training and coaching so the partner writes (2 h/month), or ghostwriting with review where we prepare drafts and they approve. Voice, judgment and signature are always the partner’s.

  • −Monthly editorial calendar
  • −Coaching or ghostwriting with partner OK
  • −Relevant ruling analysis
  • −Peer network building
03Professional review management

Systematic positive reviews and reply within professional secrecy.

Automated request to clients after satisfactory matter closure. Reply to negatives in institutional tone, without confirming or denying file details, inviting private contact. Removal request for reviews breaching policies (insults, unfair competition, falsehood). We never reply in the heat, never break professional secrecy.

  • −Post-satisfactory-closure request
  • −Sober reply to negatives 24-48h
  • −Absolute respect for professional secrecy
  • −Removal request when appropriate
04High-intent Google Ads

Heavily segmented campaigns for high tickets.

We don’t chase cheap clicks. We seek high-intent searches: the exact moment someone needs specific counsel ("unfair dismissal compensation", "limited company audit", "GDPR compliance"). Landings by specialty, forms thought for legal profile, consultation-to-CRM tracking. With high fees, a single matter covers months of ad investment.

  • −Transactional-intent searches
  • −Specialty-specific landings
  • −Server-side tracking to CRM
  • −Bids to opened-file value

What you won’t find

What we DO NOT do.

In professional services it’s easier to promise mass leads than to sustain authority. These are the limits that let us work with sector judgment and within deontology.

  • ×

    We don’t promise guaranteed results — neither in marketing nor, of course, in professional practice. Bar rules forbid it and so does common sense. Any agency promising it tramples deontology and reputation at once.

  • ×

    Nor make aggressive comparisons with other firms — nor sensationalist hooks, nor "lowest in the market" fee promises, nor testimonials without consent. Professional advertising moves in sober, respectful ground, and that’s where we want to play.

  • ×

    Nor break professional secrecy — neither in review replies nor in cases published on blog or LinkedIn. Every referred matter is always anonymized, with express authorization where applicable, and validated by the partner before publishing.

  • ×

    Nor publish legal content without partner review — we provide briefing, keyword research and base writing. The partner or specialty lawyer reviews substance, adds judgment and signs. If content doesn’t pass their filter, it doesn’t publish.

  • ×

    Nor lock you in — site, domain, accounts, repository and access are yours from day one. Month to month. If we don’t deliver measurable pipeline, you leave.

  • ×

    Nor invent case studies — real accounts with real data, real contracts and traceable attribution before you sign anything.

Sector FAQ

What they ask us.

Do you comply with the professional college’s advertising rules?

Yes. We review applicable deontology and advertising rules (ICAM, ICAB, ICJCE, OMC and corresponding general councils) before designing the strategy. No guaranteed results, no aggressive comparisons with other firms, no sensationalist hooks. Tone is sober and respectful of the profession. Any doubt, prior consultation with you or your deontology advisor.

Can you train the managing partner to post on LinkedIn?

Yes, in two modes. Training and coaching: the partner learns to structure posts, identify relevant topics and publish with sustainable rhythm (a couple hours a month). Ghostwriting with review: we prepare drafts from partner interviews, they approve or modify, and it publishes on their judgment. In both cases, style, voice and opinion are the partner’s. We never fake authorship.

How do you manage a negative review without breaking professional secrecy?

With protocol. First, internal verification with the firm to understand the case without documenting anything exposable. Second, brief, respectful, non-defensive public reply that neither confirms nor denies file details but invites private contact to resolve. Third, if the review breaches Google policies (insults, unfair competition, false review), we request removal. We never reply in the heat or enter public debates.

Does local SEO pay off for a firm with 2-3 offices?

Yes, with proper structure. One Google Business listing per office, local pages by city on the website (not cloned, but with differentiated content by team and areas reinforced in each locale), consistent NAP citations in professional directories and reviews managed by office. In firms with several offices, local SEO is usually the highest-return channel because it captures high-intent searches where the hiring decision is already made.

Does Google Ads work with high fees and long cycles?

Yes, when measured properly and precisely segmented. The typical mistake is chasing generic terms ("lawyer", "consultant") with high CPCs and low intent. The right approach is capturing specific intent ("unfair dismissal compensation", "limited company audit", "GDPR compliance"), with specialty-specific landings and a CRM that measures real consultations and opened files, not clicks. With high fees, a single matter covers months of investment.

Do you handle the blog’s technical content?

Yes, with a collaborative model. We provide briefing, keyword research by practice area, SEO structure and base writing. The partner or specialty lawyer reviews legal substance, adds judgment, opinions or nuances, and signs. That guarantees content with professional rigor and real authority, not generic outreach. Result: articles other firms cite and Google ranks as reference content.
