Where They Were
United Solicitors is a UK-based immigration law firm specialising in visa applications, settlement cases, sponsor licences, and immigration advisory services across the UK market.
Despite strong legal expertise and service demand, the firm struggled to generate a predictable flow of qualified consultation bookings. Paid campaigns were expensive, local visibility was weak in competitive cities like London and Manchester, and the conversion funnel lacked proper optimisation and tracking.
I was brought in as a PPC & Paid Acquisition Specialist to rebuild the acquisition system, combining Google Ads, local SEO, CRO, and analytics into a performance-driven consultation funnel focused on qualified legal enquiries.
What Was Broken
Low visibility for high-value immigration searches
High and unstable cost per acquisition from PPC campaigns
Weak consultation landing page conversion rates
Poor local SEO visibility in London and Manchester
Limited tracking and attribution across the funnel
Inconsistent consultation booking volume and mixed lead quality
How I Fixed It
High-Intent Google Ads Campaign Structure
The first priority was rebuilding the paid acquisition strategy around high-intent immigration searches and consultation-focused targeting.
Key improvements:
Targeted high-conversion immigration keywords
Built location-segmented campaigns for London, Manchester, and UK-wide searches
Added negative keyword filtering to remove irrelevant traffic
Rewrote ad copy around consultation intent and legal trust
Applied smart bidding optimisation and retargeting campaigns
The result was stronger enquiry intent, improved click quality, and significantly more efficient acquisition performance.
Local SEO & Organic Visibility Growth
To reduce long-term dependency on paid traffic, I implemented a structured local SEO and organic visibility strategy targeting competitive immigration searches.
Key improvements:
Local SEO optimisation for London and Manchester
Immigration-focused keyword targeting
On-page and technical SEO improvements
Content structure optimisation for legal search intent
Competitor analysis across the UK immigration market
Organic visibility increased substantially across immigration-related searches, improving long-term inbound lead generation.
Consultation Funnel & Conversion Optimisation
Once traffic quality improved, the next focus was converting more visitors into booked legal consultations.
Key improvements:
Redesigned consultation landing pages
Simplified booking and enquiry flow
Added stronger CTA positioning around consultation booking
Introduced legal trust signals and authority positioning
Improved mobile UX and booking experience
The funnel became significantly more conversion-focused, reducing drop-off and improving booking consistency.
GA4 Tracking & Funnel Attribution
To improve decision-making and optimisation speed, I implemented a complete analytics and attribution setup across the acquisition funnel.
Setup included:
GA4 consultation event tracking
Funnel visibility from ad click to booking
Conversion attribution setup
User behaviour monitoring
Campaign performance reporting
This created clear visibility into lead quality, conversion performance, and the most profitable traffic sources.

The Business Outcome & Impact
United Solicitors evolved from an inconsistent enquiry system into a structured legal consultation acquisition engine powered by PPC precision, local SEO visibility, and conversion-focused funnel optimisation.
The biggest performance improvement came from aligning acquisition intent with the consultation journey. By targeting high-intent immigration searches, improving landing page clarity, and strengthening trust positioning throughout the funnel, the firm began attracting more qualified legal enquiries with stronger consultation intent.
Combined with improved tracking and local search visibility, the acquisition system became significantly more scalable, measurable, and cost-efficient over time.
