Case study · Berkshire law firm · Feb-Jul 2026

    Tamseel had a website. It just wasn't bringing him any work.

    J Scott & Co is a solicitors' practice in Maidenhead. Strong reputation, good people, and a site that ranked for the firm's own name and almost nothing else. Six months later it is the most-cited law firm in its market on AI assistants, holds 28 first-place positions, and enquiries are up 75% since May. Here is exactly what we did, in the order we did it.

    July measured to the 24th and still counting. Same source throughout - Google Search Console and analytics, not modelled estimates.

    The method

    Four stages, run in order.

    Each one only works if the one before it is done properly - which is why most firms who "did SEO once" saw nothing.

    Stage 01

    Clean

    Fix the foundations, because nothing else compounds until they hold.

    What we did
    • Rebuilt and relaunched the website
    • Technical health taken to 87/100 - 190 checks across 101 pages, re-crawled monthly
    • Sitemap, robots.txt and CMS configured properly
    • Advanced AI schema implemented so assistants can parse the pages
    • Google Business Profile optimised - now 84/100, 5.0 stars, 65 reviews
    • Citation network submissions across the major directories
    • Found a real problem nobody had spotted: 13 of the firm's 26 first-place positions were being recorded against the old insecure http://www. address, splitting the site's authority in two. Contained fix, now scheduled.

    The numbers behind it.

    75% more enquiries in July than May. 89% of them conveyancing.

    AI citations vs the market

    Measured across ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Google AI Mode and Perplexity. The firm was invisible to AI assistants in January.

    Who this works for

    J Scott isn't a special case. It's a good firm that was invisible. If you know a practice where any of this sounds familiar, it's worth an introduction:

    • Ranks for its own name, and very little else
    • A site that looks perfectly decent but produces almost no enquiries
    • Bigger-name competitors outranking them on the services they're actually best at
    • Nowhere to be found when you ask ChatGPT for a solicitor in their town
    • No idea which of their enquiries came from where

    We'll audit it free and tell them honestly whether there's anything worth doing.
