Our SEO Services

For us, SEO is not a side hustle - it's our bread and butter. We know the nuances and have mastered what matters when it comes to SEO that drives results. Whether it's Technical SEO, Content Writing, or Digital PR - we've got you covered.

What our clients are saying.

I have been working with StudioHawk for 6 months now, as our website was massively underperforming. Jake & Harvey have taken the website activity to the next level & things are continuing to improve. As an IT dummy, they are patient with my lack of knowledge on SEO, keywords etc and have the skills to translate this to me in a way that makes perfect sense! However, the proof is in the pudding as they say, because things are going from strength to strength! Great work Gents!

I can’t recommend the StudioHawk team highly enough. Anthony, the Founder, alongside Itamar, Jake, Sophie, and Harvey (and many more), have been an absolute pleasure to collaborate with. What sets StudioHawk apart is their no-nonsense, results-driven approach—there’s no fluff, just solid SEO strategies that drive real ROI.In my opinion, they are the go-to SEO agency in London, but what makes them even more valuable is their global reach, with teams in the US and Australia offering regional expertise.

We've been working with Studio Hawk for 6 months now, at first in a consultancy capacity and then for SEO services. In the span of just three months of SEO services, they took us from non-existent on Google Search (we're a very new company) to first page results across 3 of our 4 key search terms, and performance improves week on week. The team is extremely knowledgeable, professional and pro-active in getting incremental improvements done each week. Always friendly and clearly passionate about the work they do. I couldn't recommend them more.

YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Retail SEO FAQs

What is Legal SEO?

Legal SEO is search engine optimization specifically for law firms and legal professionals. It’s all about improving your online visibility so potential clients can find your services when they search for legal help on Google or other search engines.

This involves optimizing your website for relevant keywords like “family solicitor in London” or “conveyancing services near me”, building a strong local presence through Google Business Profiles, and creating valuable content that demonstrates expertise and builds trust. A well-structured, mobile-friendly site with clear navigation is essential, as is earning backlinks from reputable legal and local sources.

The goal of Legal SEO is simple: attract high-quality leads, generate more enquiries, and grow your practice by making sure you appear ahead of competitors in search results.

How do I create a winning SEO campaign for my law firm?
 

Creating a winning SEO campaign for your law firm starts with a clear strategy built around your practice areas, target clients, and local market. Begin by identifying the exact terms people use when searching for your services, such as “divorce solicitor in Manchester” or “personal injury lawyer near me.” These keywords form the foundation of your content and on-page optimisations.

Next, focus on your website. It should load quickly, be mobile-friendly, and clearly showcase your services and expertise. Every practice area needs its own well-optimised page with compelling copy and clear calls to action.

Local visibility is crucial for law firms, so make sure your Google Business Profile is complete and kept up to date. Build local authority by earning backlinks from trusted legal directories, industry associations, and community websites.

Finally, publish valuable content—like legal guides, FAQs, and case studies—that helps potential clients understand their options and builds trust. Combine this with ongoing tracking and reporting so you can refine your strategy over time.

The goal is simple: attract qualified leads, convert them into clients, and grow your firm by staying ahead of competitors in search results.

Get in touch with us today to discuss some of these strategies, and how we can implement them for you.

How do you approach SEO for law firms?

Approaching SEO for law firms starts with understanding two key things: your target clients and your practice areas. People searching for legal help are often stressed and need clear, trustworthy answers fast—so your online presence has to meet that need while positioning your firm as the obvious choice.

The first step is research. We dig into the exact search terms potential clients use, like “employment lawyer in Birmingham” or “no win no fee solicitor Manchester.” These insights guide your keyword strategy and shape your website structure.

Next comes website optimisation. Each practice area gets its own dedicated, well-structured page with clear calls to action. The site must be fast, mobile-friendly, and easy to navigate—because if someone’s looking for urgent help, even a slow page load can cost you a client.

Local SEO is critical for law firms. That means optimising your Google Business Profile, building local citations, and ensuring your firm appears prominently in map and local search results.

Finally, we focus on content and authority building. This includes publishing helpful resources like legal guides, FAQs, and blog posts, as well as securing backlinks from trusted legal directories, associations, and relevant local sites.

The end result? A steady stream of qualified leads, stronger visibility in a competitive market, and a website that not only ranks well but actually converts visitors into clients.
