Creating Landing Pages That Convert: A Guide for Law Firms

Written by Henry Kilshaw | Aug 18, 2025 8:38:44 AM

The success law firm’s campaigns will often make or break depending on your prospect’s experience when reaching your landing pages. These focused, standalone pages built around specific marketing campaigns are pivotal, and users will either complete their journey, or bounce and you’ll be quickly forgotten.

Whether you’re running Google Ads for clinical negligence claims, or promoting a conveyancing service on social media, a high-converting landing page is your best chance to capture attention and drive action. Here’s how to get it right.

Start With a Clear Objective

Every landing page should have one goal and one goal only. Are you aiming to:

  • Capture contact details for a callback?
  • Offer a downloadable guide?
  • Encourage a phone enquiry?
  • Book a consultation?

Don’t dilute the page with secondary CTAs or generic information. The more focused the page, the higher the conversion rate.

Align With Your Audience’s Intent

A user clicking “No Win No Fee Clinical Negligence” on a Google Ad is very different from someone casually browsing your homepage. Match the content of your landing page to the intent of the visitor.

This means:

  • Using relevant headlines that reflect the user’s search or ad click
  • Speaking directly to their problem (e.g. “Suffered negligent treatment? You could be entitled to compensation.”)
  • Avoiding jargon unless your audience is legally trained (unlikely)

Craft a Compelling Headline

You’ve got seconds to grab attention.

Good example: “Injured by Medical Negligence? Get Expert Legal Help Today.”

Weak example: “Welcome to Our Law Firm.”

Your headline should be bold, clear, and focused on the value to the visitor, not just who you are.

Highlight the Benefits, Not Just the Features

Don’t just say “We’ve handled 5,000 claims.” Show what that means:

  • “Trusted by thousands of clients across the UK”
  • “Over £20 million in compensation secured”
  • “Rated Excellent on Trustpilot with over 1,000 reviews”

Build trust with testimonials, success metrics, and evidence of experience; this is especially important in high-stakes areas like clinical negligence or personal injury.

Keep the Form Simple

The form is where conversions happen so don’t overcomplicate it.

Ask only what you need:

  • Name
  • Contact number or email
  • Brief case details (optional)

Avoid long dropdowns, unnecessary fields, or confusing layouts. The more friction, the fewer conversions.

Bonus Tip: Include a privacy reassurance note (e.g. “Your details will only be used to contact you about your enquiry”).

Use Social Proof Strategically

Client testimonials, case studies, and ratings from platforms like Trustpilot or Google Reviews can significantly increase trust.

Add:

  • Logos of accreditations (SRA, APIL, Law Society, etc.)
  • Real quotes from satisfied clients
  • Media mentions if applicable

Trust is a huge factor in legal marketing. Show that others have trusted you and had a good outcome.

Ensure Mobile Optimisation

More than half of users will access your landing page from their phone. If your page is clunky or hard to navigate on mobile, they’ll leave.

Your landing page should:

  • Load in under 3 seconds
  • Display forms and text cleanly on mobile
  • Keep CTAs visible and clickable

Eliminate Distractions

Remove top navigation bars, footers, or links to unrelated pages. You want the user to stay focused on one action, getting in touch with your firm.

Think of your landing page as a funnel with only one exit: your contact form.

Make Your CTA Stand Out

Don’t bury your call-to-action. Use bold buttons, compelling copy, and strategic placement.

Try:

  • “Start Your Claim Today”
  • “Speak to a Solicitor Now”
  • “Find Out if You’re Eligible”

Place it above the fold and repeat it further down for longer pages.

Test, Refine, Repeat

A great landing page is rarely built in one go. Test different headlines, CTA button colours, images, and even form placements to see what performs best.

Tools like Clarity or Hotjar can show where users drop off or get stuck, giving you data-driven insight to improve results.

Final Thoughts

For law firms, every lead matters. A well-crafted landing page bridges the gap between interest and instruction, turning searchers into clients. By focusing on clarity, trust, and a frictionless user experience, your firm can dramatically improve conversion rates and grow your caseload without wasting budget.
