EQUALLY IMPORTANT
We are probably not the right fit if...
You need results in 30 days. SEO doesn't work that way, and anyone who says it does is lying to you.
You want to own the strategy internally and outsource only execution. We work as strategic partners, not vendors.
Your budget is under $2,000/month. We can't do our best work at that level.
The brands we work best with are past the “let’s try SEO” phase. They know it works. They want it done properly.
Leeds law firms is a different game.
We’ve run SEO here. We know what it takes.
Your competitors rank higher. You're losing cases to them.
Leeds's legal sector is fragmented across ~48,000 SMBs, but competitive intent is concentrated in high-value practice areas—family, commercial, personal injury. Most law firms still rely on Google Ads (high CPC, unsustainable margins) rather than organic ranking. The firms winning market share now are those ranking in positions 1–3 for intent-rich local searches like 'family solicitor Leeds' or 'employment law advice Headingley'. SEO competition is moderate but rising, with only 30–40% of Leeds law firms running mature SEO strategies.
The 3 places Leeds law firms brands leave revenue on the table
Every engagement starts with a structured audit. These patterns show up in 9 out of 10 law firms brands we assess — regardless of size or previous agency history.
Don’t take our word for it.Here’s what we actually delivered.
Ranked #8–12 for 'family solicitor Leeds' and #5–7 for 'divorce lawyer Leeds'. Google Ads spend was £1,800/mo but conversion rates were poor (0.9%). The firm was losing cases to competitors in positions 1–3.
Rebuilt homepage and practice pages with conversion-focused copy, client testimonials, and case results (all anonymised but specific outcomes).

You shouldn’t have to wonder what your agency is doing with your money.
Every Friday, you get a Loom from your strategist. Not a report — a walkthrough. What changed, what we’re doing about it, what to expect next week. Several clients have told us it’s the first time SEO has ever made sense to them.
From audit to measurable growth, step by step
Within 6–9 months, you'll rank in the top 3 for your core practice-area keywords across Leeds. You'll attract 400–600+ qualified organic enquiries monthly—at a cost 60–70% lower than Google Ads—and reduce your dependence on paid channels. Your enquiry volume grows, margins improve, and you own your local market.
SEO Audit & Baseline
We analyse your current organic visibility, audit on-page optimisation gaps, and benchmark you against top-ranking Leeds competitors in your practice areas. We'll identify which keywords you're losing to (and why) and quantify your organic opportunity.
Keyword & Content Strategy
We map high-intent legal keywords specific to Leeds (e.g. 'family solicitor Headingley', 'commercial dispute resolution Leeds') and build a content calendar targeting both your homepage and practice-area pages. Each piece is designed to rank and convert enquiries.
On-Page & Technical Optimisation
We optimise your site structure, page titles, meta descriptions, and internal linking for SEO. We'll also fix crawl errors, improve page speed, and ensure local schema markup is live so Google correctly identifies your firm's location and practice areas.
Authority & Link Building
We build high-authority backlinks from relevant legal directories, local Leeds business publications, and industry resources. For law firms, trust signals matter—we'll also strengthen your Google Business Profile and local citation consistency.
Conversion Optimisation & Reporting
We audit your website's enquiry funnel and implement conversion-focused improvements: clearer CTAs, client testimonials, case results, and faster form submission. Monthly reports track organic visibility, traffic, enquiries, and cost-per-lead.
The honest difference
We’re not going to call other agencies bad. We’ll just be clear about how we’re structured differently — and let you decide what matters.

“Month-to-month contracts and no lock-in wasn't just a selling point — it forced them to earn our business every month. They always did.”
Emma S.
CEO · Professional Services, $6M revenue
“We'd tried two SEO agencies before. Both gave us dashboards and monthly reports with no movement. Omakaase told us what was actually broken in week one and fixed it. Six months in, we're on page one for every term that matters.”

“By month three, our main product keyword hit Page 1. By month six, we cut Google Ads spend by 40% because organic was finally doing its job. That's the real test.”

The questions founders actually ask us
Not the FAQ we wrote. The questions from real first calls.
How long before we see results from SEO?
SEO is not instant, but it's predictable. Most law firms see measurable improvements (new keyword rankings, traffic uptick) within 8–12 weeks. Significant impact (top 3 rankings for core keywords, 50%+ traffic increase, new enquiries) typically arrives by month 4–6. We track this monthly and adjust our strategy based on live data.
What's the difference between your SEO and Google Ads?
Google Ads gives you traffic immediately—you pay per click, and visibility stops the moment you stop paying. SEO takes longer but builds lasting visibility and compounds over time. Organic leads are typically 2–3× cheaper and better-qualified. Most successful law firms use both initially, then shift budget to SEO as it matures (months 6–12).
Do you guarantee first-page rankings?
We don't guarantee rankings because no ethical agency can—Google's algorithm changes constantly, and competition is unpredictable. What we guarantee is a data-driven strategy, monthly optimisation, transparency, and measurable progress toward your goals (traffic, enquiries, cost-per-lead). Our track record speaks for itself: 90%+ of clients rank in top 3 for their core keywords by month 6–9.
How much does SEO cost compared to Google Ads?
Our retainer ranges from £1,200–£3,500/month depending on scope (audit, content, technical, link-building). Most law firms currently spend £2,200/month on ads. Within 6–9 months, SEO typically pays for itself through lower cost-per-lead. By year two, you're operating at 70–80% lower customer acquisition cost than paid search.
Will SEO work for my specific practice area (e.g. family law, commercial law, personal injury)?
Yes. We've worked with family law, commercial law, personal injury, employment law, and conveyancing firms across Leeds and the UK. Each practice area has different keyword intent and competition—that's exactly why specialised SEO matters. We'll audit your niche and tell you honestly if it's viable and what timeline to expect.
