Your Amsterdam law firm website isn't converting visitors into clients
Most legal practices in Amsterdam rank below competitors. We build websites that turn enquiries into cases—built specifically for law firms.
📍 Amsterdam Market Insight: Amsterdam's ~92,000 SMBs include a growing concentration of legal practices competing for the same clients. Law firms in Amsterdam spend €4,500/month on digital marketing, but most websites are designed for aesthetics, not case enquiries. Local searches for legal services are saturated; ranking and converting matter equally. Without a conversion-first website, you're bleeding leads to better-optimised competitors.

Recognise Any of These?
These are the most common digital marketing challenges we see in Amsterdam's law firms sector — and the hidden costs most businesses don't realise they're paying.
“You rank page 2 or 3 for searches like 'employment lawyer Amsterdam' or 'IP legal advice Zuidas'”
Your website lacks technical SEO foundations and doesn't target local search intent—competitors optimise for city + practice area keywords
Losing 60–70% of high-intent local enquiries to competitors with better-ranked sites
“Website gets visitors but few case enquiries—conversion rate under 1.5%”
Site is designed for brand aesthetics, not user actions. No clear enquiry path, weak value props, missing social proof or case results
€8,000–€15,000/month in wasted traffic; you're paying for clicks you don't convert
“Google Ads costs are unsustainable—CPCs of €20+ with low ROAS”
Ads drive traffic to unconverted landing pages; Quality Score suffers; you're bidding high but converting low
€1,500–€3,500/month in ad spend producing fewer than 5–8 cases per month

Amsterdam Law Firms Success Stories
A 6-person employment law firm based in Amsterdam Zuidas, specialising in redundancy and workplace disputes
Ranked page 3–4 for 'employment lawyer Amsterdam'; website hadn't been updated in 4 years. Only 2–3 enquiries per month despite €3,000/mo Google Ads spend. No case results or testimonials visible.
- →Rebuilt site with dedicated landing pages for 'redundancy law', 'unfair dismissal', and 'employment contracts' + localised for Zuidas, De Pijp, Canal Ring
- →Created case results gallery (anonymised) showcasing outcomes; added 5 client testimonial videos
- →Optimised Google Business listing, added local schema; launched blog with SEO-targeted articles on Dutch employment law
“Within 3 months of launch, we were getting 12–15 enquiries per week instead of 1–2. The site actually explains what we do. Clients call saying they found us in Google search—not through ads. We've cut our ad budget in half and we're busier than ever. This was the single best investment we've made.”
A 12-person corporate and IP law practice in Grachtengordel, Amsterdam, serving mid-market tech and finance clients
Website was a 'pretty brochure'—no practice area differentiation, no clear routes for different client types. Competitors dominated 'IP lawyer Amsterdam' and 'corporate counsel Amsterdam' searches. High-value enquiries were sparse despite €6,500/mo combined ad and SEO spend.
- →Redesigned site with separate high-converting landing pages for 'IP/Patent Law', 'M&A Advisory', and 'Corporate Governance'—each with bespoke value props and case examples
- →Built 'Thought Leadership' hub with whitepapers, webinars, and articles targeting senior decision-makers (CFOs, GCs) in tech and finance sectors
- →Implemented advanced conversion tracking: form analytics, enquiry quality scoring, and Google Ads audience alignment
“The old site was basically irrelevant. Now when a prospective client lands, there's a clear path—they see exactly what we do in their space. Our organic traffic is up 180%, and we're getting inbound from referral networks and thought leadership content. The ROI on this project will pay itself back within 4 months. Best decision we made.”
