The Brief

A firm that reads as established, not old-fashioned

B&M Solicitors has practised across Kent since 1986, from a single Canterbury office to four regional branches — Canterbury, Ramsgate, Ashford and Maidstone — each staffed with 2 senior partners and dedicated teams of solicitors and junior legal professionals. The firm's previous site content had been lost to storage failure, so the brief was a clean rebuild: a floating logo-and-nav header over a four-slide hero (Personal Legal, Commercial Legal, Wills & Probate, Employment Law), overlaid service cards, and a "Who We Are" section introducing the four-office structure — all in a colour scheme built to feel established without being stuffy: a deep green (#386641) and warm cream (#F2E8CF) base, a terracotta red (#BC4749) for CTAs and focus panels, and a green-to-lime highlight (#6A994E, hover #A7C957) for buttons, set against light-grey section backgrounds.

Beyond the marketing site, the brief covered a dedicated Personal Legal service page — SEO-friendly intro copy, a bulleted eight-service list, a free 30-minute consultation CTA banner and named team profiles for the Head of Personal Law and two associate solicitors — plus a staff intranet so new starters at any of the four offices can onboard without an email chain.

The intranet became the backbone of that onboarding: a dashboard surfacing compliance updates, firm news and practice-direction changes, a new-starter feed, and a ten-department directory — from Conveyancing and Family & Care to IT Support & Facilities — so any solicitor can find the right policy or contact in one login.

The Build

Professional, approachable, and built to start a consultation

A visual language that carries the firm's established green-and-cream identity from the homepage hero through to every practice-area page.

Homepage — Four-Slide Hero

A floating logo-and-nav header sits above a 450px-deep, four-slide hero cycling Personal Legal, Commercial Legal, Wills & Probate and Employment Law — each slide with its own headline, standfirst and call to action.

Services & Who We Are

Four service cards — Personal Legal, Commercial Legal, Wills & Probate, Employment Law — overlaid across the base of the hero, leading straight into the "Established in 1986" heritage introduction below.

Behind The Files

One login, the whole practice

Compliance updates, new-starter announcements and a ten-department directory all live in one staff intranet — built so a solicitor joining any of the four offices can onboard without an email chain.

A Recent Legal Updates feed tagged by Compliance, Firm News and Practice Direction — including a live AML procedure update — alongside a New Arrivals feed introducing each starter's name, role and department the moment they join.

Ten-Department Directory

One click from the dashboard to every department a new solicitor needs, regardless of which of the four offices they're based in:

  • Internal Contacts
  • Policies & Procedures
  • Anti-Discrimination
  • File & Case Mgmt
  • Conveyancing Dept
  • Family & Care Dept
  • Litigation Dept
  • Private Client Dept
  • Personal Injury
  • IT Support & Facilities
Example of Strategies SEO & Social Media

Getting found, and earning trust

No campaign has run for B&M Solicitors yet — here's the SEO and social approach we'd apply for a long-established, multi-office law firm serving both individuals and businesses.

SEO

Schema.org LegalService/Attorney markup for each of the four offices, so "solicitors near me" and similar searches can resolve to the nearest branch rather than a single generic listing.

Separate, fully optimised Business Profiles for Canterbury, Ramsgate, Ashford and Maidstone, targeting local-pack searches like "conveyancing solicitor Canterbury" and "employment law Maidstone".

Dedicated pages for residential conveyancing, family law & divorce, wills & probate and employment tribunal representation, rather than one generic services page — each ending on the free-consultation CTA.

Every solicitor profile carrying real credentials — SRA number, specialisms, years qualified — the author-expertise signal Google increasingly expects for Your-Money-Or-Your-Life legal content.

Plain-English answers to "how long does conveyancing take" and "what is a Lasting Power of Attorney" style queries, aimed squarely at featured-snippet real estate above the fold.

A structured request-a-review flow triggered on case closure, since trust signals weigh heavily on conversion for a search category Google treats as Your-Money-Or-Your-Life.

Social Media

Sixty-second, plain-English breakdowns of common legal questions — probate timelines, tenancy disputes, redundancy rights — the lowest-friction way to demonstrate expertise before a visitor ever calls.

Anonymised, consent-led success stories showing real outcomes for personal and commercial clients — proof over promises, in a sector where trust is the entire sale.

Short profile posts introducing solicitors and senior partners office by office, putting a real face to Canterbury, Ramsgate, Ashford and Maidstone rather than one faceless national brand.

Meta and LinkedIn retargeting toward anyone who started but didn't finish booking the free 30-minute consultation, recovering warm leads with a direct nudge to rebook.

Local sponsorships and pro-bono advice clinics across all four towns, reinforcing "established local firm" positioning against national legal chains.

Thought-leadership posts aimed at business owners — employment law changes, commercial contract pitfalls — since commercial clients skew toward LinkedIn over Instagram or TikTok.

Platform Options

Bespoke, built around a firm this size

A single-office practice doesn't need the same platform as a four-branch firm running staff onboarding across every location — we scope the build to match. Every site launches with solid foundations for future growth.
