1. Background: From Offline Expertise to Online Invisibility
This India-based family and divorce law practice had a respected offline reputation built over years of successful litigation.
However, its digital presence was nearly nonexistent. In a city where potential clients begin their legal search online, the firm’s website wasn’t ranking for any keywords, and competitors dominated Google.
Key Obstacles
- Brand-new domain with no authority
- Weak technical foundation and poor on-page structure
- No visibility for intent-driven local queries
- Competing law firms with entrenched SEO positions
- Website lacked conversion-focused design and trust signals
“We wanted to be where our clients were searching not depend solely on referrals.”
— Managing Partner, Family Law Firm (India)
