The Challenge

The problem we were hired to solve

Despite 40+ years of legal practice and a strong referral reputation, this Dublin 2 firm had almost zero organic search visibility. Competitors — many of them far younger firms with aggressive digital strategies — were ranking first for every commercially valuable query: 'commercial solicitors Dublin', 'M&A lawyers Ireland', 'commercial property law Dublin'. More critically, ChatGPT was actively recommending three competitor firms by name when prospective clients asked for recommendations. This firm wasn't mentioned once.
