Your competitors own LinkedIn. Don't let them own yours.
London law firms spending £4,200/month on digital marketing rarely see results from social. We change that with content that converts.
📍 London Market Insight: London's legal market is competitive but fragmented on social. While finance and tech leaders dominate LinkedIn thought leadership, law firms lag—most treat social as a broadcast channel, not a lead engine. The City's top firms are investing in community-first strategies; mid-market practices are missing this shift. Your window to establish authority before competitors move is now.

Industry Benchmarks
Recognise Any of These?
These are the most common digital marketing challenges we see in London's law firms sector — and the hidden costs most businesses don't realise they're paying.
“You post regularly but rarely see case enquiries from social”
Content is informational, not trust-building. LinkedIn audiences expect legal insights, not sales pitches—your posts land between education and promotion.
Wasted content budget (£800–£1,200/month) with no measurable ROI on case growth
“Competitors rank higher on 'solicitors near me' and practice area searches”
Social profiles aren't optimised for discoverability. Most law firm profiles lack consistent keywords, CTA clarity, or link architecture to website.
Losing 15–25% of local search enquiries monthly; competitors capture your audience
“You've tried Google Ads before but CPCs were too high to scale”
Social-first funnels (warm audiences, lower competition) rarely complement paid search strategy at most law firms.
£2,000–£3,500/month spent on Google Ads with 2–3% conversion rate, versus 8–12% from social-warmed leads
How We Get You Results
No mystery. No black box. Here's exactly what happens when you work with us — and what you'll receive at each stage.
Audit & positioning
Week 1–2We analyse your current social presence, competitor landscape, and audience perception across LinkedIn, Instagram, and your website. We identify which practice areas (corporate, litigation, IP, family law) have the strongest market demand in London and where your positioning gaps lie. This audit includes keyword research specific to your jurisdiction and practice areas.
Competitive positioning report + audience insight document + content opportunity map
Strategy & content plan
Week 2–3We build a 12-week content strategy designed to establish you as a trusted authority while driving warm leads to your enquiry form. Strategy covers LinkedIn (primary), Instagram (if relevant), and platform-specific tactics. Each piece of content maps to a stage of the legal buyer journey: awareness (thought leadership), consideration (case studies, FAQs), and decision (testimonials, results).
Content calendar (12 weeks) + messaging framework + platform optimisation checklist
Profile & funnel setup
Week 3–4We optimise your social profiles for discoverability and conversion. This includes keyword-rich bios, CTA buttons linking to case enquiry forms, and audience segmentation on LinkedIn. We also audit your website's conversion path and ensure social traffic lands on high-converting pages, not your homepage.
Optimised profiles across channels + conversion funnel diagram + tracking setup
Content creation & launch
Week 4–12Our team creates and publishes your first 8 weeks of content: case study breakdowns, practice area explainers, market insights, and client testimonial reels. Each piece is written in your voice and backed by data relevant to London's legal market. We use A/B testing on post copy, visuals, and CTAs to identify what drives engagement and clicks.
Published content across channels + engagement analytics dashboard + weekly performance report
Optimise, scale & report
Week 12 onwardsBy week 8, we analyse which content themes, post times, and audience segments drive the most qualified leads. We adjust the strategy, double down on winning formats, and pause underperformers. You'll receive a monthly report showing leads generated, cost per lead, and pipeline impact—metrics that matter to your bottom line.
Monthly performance report + optimised content calendar + strategy refresh deck
After 12 weeks, your social presence shifts from a marketing cost centre to a qualified lead engine. You'll have a predictable system for generating case enquiries at a cost per lead 30–40% lower than Google Ads, plus a documented content playbook your team can maintain or we can scale.
London Law Firms Success Stories
A 15-person corporate law practice based in Canary Wharf, specialising in M&A and commercial contracts
The firm was posting sporadically on LinkedIn, relying almost entirely on referrals and outbound BD. They'd spent £8,000 on Google Ads with minimal conversions, and their website saw traffic but few enquiry form submissions.
- →Repositioned them as M&A thought leaders with weekly insights on deal structures, regulatory changes, and case outcomes (anonymised)
- →Created a YouTube-embedded case study series showcasing past wins; repurposed clips for LinkedIn and Instagram
- →Built an audience segmentation strategy targeting in-house counsel at FTSE 250 companies and mid-market founders in Shoreditch and the City
“We didn't expect social to move the needle this quickly. Within 4 months, we'd stopped the Google Ads spend—the qualified leads from LinkedIn cost a third as much and close better because they already know who we are. It's fundamentally changed how we think about business development.”
A 40-person family law and dispute resolution firm with offices in Shoreditch and Mayfair, targeting high-net-worth clients and mid-market SME owners
The firm had a strong local reputation but weak digital presence. They competed against larger national chains on Google for 'family solicitors London' and 'dispute resolution' but rarely appeared in search results. Social media was neglected; their team lacked time and confidence to create content.
- →Established them as dispute prevention experts through LinkedIn thought leadership on common shareholder disputes, employment conflicts, and family law trends
- →Produced monthly 'legal update' videos addressing common questions from their audience; published clips on LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube
- →Built a referral network strategy on LinkedIn, connecting them with accountants, financial advisors, and business coaches in the London SME ecosystem
“We hired Omakaase because we didn't have bandwidth for social ourselves. What surprised us was how quickly it built credibility. Clients now mention they've seen our content before they call—we're already trusted. And the referral network effect was unexpected; accountants and advisors actively recommend us now because they see our content and know exactly what we do.”
