✅ Actions to Take Today (5)
tap to expand ▾
| ☐ |
Publish your own conveyancing fee band on the site this week — even a "from £X" with the inclusions listed beats "request a quote" for a buyer comparing firms. Lead with what's INCLUDED (searches, ID checks) so the number reads as value.
🔴 HIGH · re: Holloway Legal LLP — Launched fixed-fee conveyancing — flat £995 quoted online
|
|
| ☐ |
Systematise review requests: send a one-tap Google review link at the moment a matter completes successfully (and the client is happiest). Even 2 reviews/week compounds — you need volume AND recency to move in the local pack.
🔴 HIGH · re: Bishopsgate Family Law — 11 new Google reviews in a week — now 4.9 across 240 reviews
|
|
| ☐ |
Treat compliance as marketing: be the first local firm with a clean, plain-English pricing page that meets the new rules. Add a short "how we charge" explainer — it doubles as the trust content prospects want anyway.
🟡 MEDIUM · re: Industry News — SRA confirms new transparency rules on price publishing from next quarter
|
|
| ☐ |
Add online booking with at least one out-of-hours option. A solicitor a working parent can book at 9pm without a phone call wins the instruction over one that only answers 9–5.
🟡 MEDIUM · re: Camden & Vale Solicitors — Added evening + Saturday appointment booking online
|
|
| ☐ |
Counter with your own low-friction front door — a free will-check or a "is your LPA up to date?" mini-audit. The firm that owns the cheap first conversation owns the £-heavy matter that follows.
🟢 LOW · re: Marlowe Wills & Probate — Running a LinkedIn campaign on "free will review" for over-50s
|

🔴 HIGH PRIORITY
Launched fixed-fee conveyancing — flat £995 quoted online
📰 News
Holloway Legal added a "Fixed-Fee Conveyancing" page yesterday quoting a flat £995 (most local firms quote on application). Transparent pricing is a strong conversion lever for first-time buyers shopping three firms — they'll anchor on the number and ring the firm that published it.
→ ACTION: Publish your own conveyancing fee band on the site this week — even a "from £X" with the inclusions listed beats "request a quote" for a buyer comparing firms. Lead with what's INCLUDED (searches, ID checks) so the number reads as value.
11 new Google reviews in a week — now 4.9 across 240 reviews
📰 News
Bishopsgate Family Law gained 11 new 5-star Google reviews this week, pushing them to 4.9/5 over 240 reviews — the highest-rated family firm in the postcode. Review volume is now their moat: they rank top of the local map pack for "family solicitor near me".
→ ACTION: Systematise review requests: send a one-tap Google review link at the moment a matter completes successfully (and the client is happiest). Even 2 reviews/week compounds — you need volume AND recency to move in the local pack.
🟡 MEDIUM PRIORITY
SRA confirms new transparency rules on price publishing from next quarter
📰 News
The Solicitors Regulation Authority confirmed tightened price-transparency requirements taking effect next quarter — firms must publish clearer fee information for certain consumer services. Firms that get ahead of it look trustworthy; laggards look like they're hiding the number.
→ ACTION: Treat compliance as marketing: be the first local firm with a clean, plain-English pricing page that meets the new rules. Add a short "how we charge" explainer — it doubles as the trust content prospects want anyway.
Added evening + Saturday appointment booking online
📰 News
Camden & Vale replaced their "call us" CTA with an online booking widget showing evening and Saturday slots. Working clients who can't take a weekday call now have a frictionless way to book them instead of you.
→ ACTION: Add online booking with at least one out-of-hours option. A solicitor a working parent can book at 9pm without a phone call wins the instruction over one that only answers 9–5.
🟢 LOW PRIORITY / FYI
Running a LinkedIn campaign on "free will review" for over-50s
📰 News
Marlowe started a LinkedIn ad campaign yesterday offering a "free 15-minute will review" targeted at over-50s in the local boroughs. Low-commitment lead magnet that fills their probate pipeline months ahead.
→ ACTION: Counter with your own low-friction front door — a free will-check or a "is your LPA up to date?" mini-audit. The firm that owns the cheap first conversation owns the £-heavy matter that follows.
