London Immigration Law Firm SEO: 146% Growth in Organic Users

The Challenge

This London immigration solicitors firm had a working website. It just wasn’t working for them.

Between June 2025 and December 2024, the firm pulled in just 254 organic clicks from Google Search – with a total of 7,720 impressions. For an immigration law firm competing in one of the most contested legal markets in England, those numbers are about as impactful as a whisper outside the Royal Courts of Justice.

Our audit flagged three clear problems.

First, the firm had almost no visibility for immigration law searches in London – bigger, better-funded competitors had claimed the top spots, and this firm wasn’t close to page one.

Second, there was zero preparation for AI-powered search. Google’s AI Overviews were already reshaping how people find solicitors, and the site had no entity signals that AI systems could recognise or cite.

Third, the local presence was weak. Minimal Local Pack appearances meant the firm was invisible to the majority of nearby searchers.

None of this reflected the quality of their legal work. It was a pure visibility problem. Fortunately, that’s exactly what we fix.

Our Approach

We built this campaign around The Signal Method – Crazygraph’s proprietary AI SEO framework built specifically for law firms that need to show up in both traditional Google results and AI-generated answers.

Most law firm SEO campaigns chase keywords. That’s not enough anymore. Our Signal Method focuses on making the firm a clearly understood, trusted entity – so when Google’s AI systems or the Maps algorithm encounter a search like “immigration solicitor in London,” they can confidently connect that query to this firm.

Here’s what we actually did:

Entity & AI SEO Optimisation

We mapped and structured the firm’s core entities – practice areas, location signals, and expertise markers – across the website. Schema markup, semantic content clusters, and E-E-A-T signals were all built out properly. This is what gets a firm cited in AI Overviews, not just ranked on page one.

Local SEO & Google Business Profile

We fully optimised the firm’s Google Business Profile, rebuilt its local citation footprint across trusted UK directories and London-specific listings, and cleaned up NAP consistency. Local pack visibility doesn’t happen by accident. It takes deliberate groundwork.

Authority Signals

We supported the above with targeted link-building – guest placements on legal and immigration sites, and press release distribution across trusted outlets. Roughly 45 links from DA 55+ domains, earned at a 9% outreach publish rate.

Every step was sequenced to build early local momentum while establishing long-term AI search visibility in parallel.

The Result

The six months from December 2025 to May 2026 told a very clear story.

Metric	Before (Jun 2025 – Dec 2025)	After (Dec 2025 – May 2026)	Change
New Organic Users (Google Search)	388	955	+146%
Organic Clicks (GSC)	254	560	+120.47%
Total Impressions (GSC)	7,720	161,000	+1,985.49%
Average CTR	3.3%	0.3%	-90.91%
Local Pack Appearances	Minimal	Top 3 for 11 key London immigration queries	Significant growth

The headline number is the jump in impressions. From 7,720 to 161,000 – nearly 2,000% growth. That means the firm went from being practically invisible on Google to appearing in front of a vastly larger pool of potential clients across a much wider range of searches.

Clicks more than doubled. Organic users grew by 146%. And the Local Pack gains were arguably the most commercially valuable part – the firm now appears in the top 3 map results for 11 high-intent immigration queries across London boroughs. That’s the spot where most local clients actually call from.

The CTR dip is worth a quick note. It dropped because impressions exploded across broader, top-of-funnel queries where click-through is naturally lower. More visibility, earlier in the funnel. That’s a good problem to have.

The phone followed the traffic. The firm reported a significant rise in inbound calls from new clients, which converted into retained cases – revenue went up, higher-profile immigration matters started arriving, and the solicitor hired additional lawyers to handle the growing caseload.

They are still an active client. And the numbers are still climbing.

Methodology

How we measure AI visibility

What every number in Beaconly means, how it’s calculated, and where its limits are.

Which AI we ask

Gemini, through Google’s official Gemini API. Right now Gemini answers from its own knowledge, without live web search, so answers don’t list sources.
Every question is asked as a fresh conversation, with no memory or personal history, set to the market (country) you chose.

What we ask

The questions a buyer would ask when looking for what you sell — like “best CRM for a small agency”. We write starter questions from your website; you can edit, delete or add your own. Questions don’t include your brand name, so we measure whether AI brings you up on its own.

Mentioned

Your brand counts as mentioned when its name, one of its other names you added, or its website address appears in the answer as a whole word. The same rule applies to every competitor, so the comparison is fair.

Position

The order in which tracked brands are first named in the answer: 1 means you were named before any tracked competitor. We show how often you’re named first, 2nd–3rd, later, or not at all.

Visibility and small samples

Visibility is the share of answers that mention you. With fewer than 20 answers a percentage can mislead (1 answer changes it by 20 points), so we show the count instead — for example “3 of 5”.

Perception scores

We ask the AI to compare you with your competitors on the traits you choose, then score what the answer says about each brand from 1 to 10, using only the answer — not our own opinion. “What AI says about you” groups the reasons AI recommends you, its criticisms, and who it prefers instead, counted across your latest tracked answers.

Brand facts check

We ask the AI about your brand directly and compare each factual claim with the facts you gave us. Claims your facts don’t cover are marked “not covered”, never “wrong”.

AI traffic

The snippet on your site counts visits whose referrer is an AI assistant (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot, Claude and others), or that carry ChatGPT’s utm_source tag. Some apps hide the referrer, so the real number is usually higher. No cookies are used and no IP addresses are kept.

Page watch

We re-read the pages you watch once a day and look for your brand name, other names, or website address in the page text. Some sites block automated visits; we tell you when we can’t read a page.

Answers vary

AI assistants give different answers to the same question, and API answers can differ from what a signed-in person sees in the app (memory, location, model updates). That’s why we track over time and link every question so you can ask it yourself.
