The Google profile of a law firm

For “lawyer + neighbourhood”, the three map results decide who gets the call.

  • Categories by practice area“Lawyer” as primary, plus employment, family or criminal law where you cover them.
  • Practice areas as servicesEach area with a short description and a link to its page.
  • Initial consultationExplain how to book and whether the first consultation is charged.
  • Your firm’s languagesSpanish, Catalan, English and others – key for international clients.
  • Genuine reviewsAsk when a matter is closed, with nothing in return and no pressure.

What a law firm needs to watch

Lawyers may advertise, but within professional conduct rules. These are the most common mistakes.

Promises of success

“We’ll win your case” or “best divorce lawyer” is risky. We write titles that rank with practice area, neighbourhood and concrete information.

Cases and references

Only mention matters with the client’s explicit consent, and so nobody can be identified.

Replies to reviews

Professional secrecy applies on Google too: never confirm that someone is a client.

This is guidance, not legal advice – which you’ll judge better than anyone. If in doubt, check with the ICAB, the Barcelona Bar Association.

Example: replying to a critical review

Don’t“Mr K., we achieved the best possible outcome in your divorce. The judgment was out of our hands.”
Do“Thank you for your feedback. For confidentiality reasons we don’t comment on details here. We’re happy to discuss it in person.”

Frequently asked questions

Are lawyers allowed to advertise in Spain?

Yes, within professional conduct rules: truthful information, no promises of results and no client details. SEO fits well because it is built on clear information.

Do I need a page per practice area?

Yes, for the areas where you want clients. Someone searching “divorce lawyer Barcelona” wants a page about divorce, not a list of everything.

Is English worth it?

For immigration, employment, housing and business law, yes: Barcelona has strong international demand.

How long until I see results?

Through the Google profile, often within 2 to 3 months. For competitive practice areas city-wide, expect 6 to 9 months.
