Case study · Professional services · Dubai

How a Dubai law firm reached page one for core practice terms.

A referral-only firm was invisible online. Practice-area pages, bilingual SEO, structured answers, and reviews moved key terms from page four to page one.

The challenge

Partners won work through networks but lost younger in-house counsel who search first. The site was a brochure: one page, no practice depth, no Arabic, no schema, few reviews.

What we did

  • Wrote practice-area pages with clear scope, process, and FAQ blocks.
  • Implemented bilingual SEO and local entity signals for Dubai.
  • Added structured answers suitable for AI overviews and rich results.
  • Built a discreet reviews programme with corporate clients who consented.

The results

p4 → p1
Core practice rankings
+64%
Inbound calls
Yes
AI-answer mentions

Primary practice terms moved from page four to page one over five months. Inbound calls rose 64% versus the prior period. The firm began appearing in AI-assisted answers for category queries.

What made it work

  • Professional services need depth pages, not a single brochure homepage.
  • Bilingual coverage matches how GCC buyers search.
  • Structured answers future-proof visibility beyond classic blue links.

“Referrals still matter — but search now brings a second pipeline.”
