What Pages Does Every
Solicitor Website Need?

What pages every solicitor website needs: practice area and service pages, solicitor profiles, contact, reviews and the SRA price and complaints pages.

The short answer

Every solicitor website needs a core set of pages: a homepage, a dedicated page for each practice area, specific service pages beneath them, an about page and a profile page for each solicitor. It also needs a clear contact page, location pages if you have more than one office and a reviews section. On top of those, UK firms must meet SRA requirements by publishing price information for certain services, a complaints procedure and their regulatory details, including their SRA number and digital badge. A blog or guides section then builds authority. Together these pages serve clients, satisfy Google and keep you compliant.

The detailed answer

Three jobs, one set of pages

A solicitor website has three jobs: win clients, rank on Google and meet the SRA rules. Each needs certain pages to be present. Miss them and you either lose enquiries, lose rankings or risk a compliance problem. Here is the full set every firm should have, grouped by purpose.

The core client facing pages

Start with the pages clients expect. A homepage that makes clear who you are, where you work and how to reach you. A dedicated page for every practice area you handle, each substantial rather than a passing mention. Specific service pages beneath those for individual services within an area.

These are the pages that rank for your services and that clients spend most time on, so they deserve the most care. We explain why in Why Clear Service Pages Are Essential for Solicitor SEO.

The about and contact pages

An about page tells clients who your firm is and builds confidence. A contact page should make getting in touch effortless, with your address, phone number, an enquiry form, a map and a click to call link for mobile users. Keep your name, address and phone number identical to your Google Business Profile and directory listings.

Solicitor profile pages

Each solicitor should have their own profile, showing their name, photo, qualifications, areas of focus and years of experience. In a field Google treats as high trust, these pages are some of the most valuable you have. They prove real expertise sits behind your content.

Link each profile to the practice areas that solicitor works in, so the trust flows through to your service pages. We cover this in How EEAT Affects SEO for Solicitor Websites.

Location pages

If your firm has more than one office, each deserves its own location page with genuine local detail, not a duplicate with the town name changed. These help you appear in local searches for each area you serve.

A reviews or testimonials section

Client reviews reassure prospective clients and support your local ranking. You can display them on your site, though they must stay within the SRA rules, which means genuine, accurate and never cherry picked or incentivised. We look at their impact in How Online Reviews Impact Local SEO for Solicitors.

The pages the SRA requires

This is where solicitor websites differ from most. UK firms must publish certain information by law. If you offer any of the specified services, such as conveyancing, probate, motoring offences, immigration, employment tribunal claims, debt recovery or licensing applications, you must publish clear price and service information for them.

You must also publish a complaints procedure that explains how to complain and how to escalate to the Legal Ombudsman and the SRA. More widely, the SRA expects clear information about how a matter will be priced, so transparency here is both a rule and good practice.

Regulatory information

Every regulated firm must show its SRA number and the SRA digital badge prominently on the site, along with the words authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. These confirm you are a genuine, regulated firm, which reassures clients and supports the trust signals Google looks for.

Getting these wrong is a common compliance failure, so treat them as essential, not optional. We cover the wider point in How Compliance and Regulatory Content Affects Solicitor SEO.

Content pages that build authority

Beyond the essentials, a blog or guides section is what builds topical authority. Articles and FAQs that answer the questions clients search for attract visitors early in their research and feed your service pages. This kind of guide is a good example.

One caution for solicitors: any content, including anything drafted with AI tools, must be reviewed by a qualified person before it goes live, since accuracy is both an SEO and a compliance matter.

The legal and privacy pages

Finally, the standard legal pages: a privacy policy, terms of business and a cookie notice. These are expected on any professional site and help with both compliance and trust.

In short, a solicitor website needs the client facing pages that win work, the profile and review pages that build trust, the content that earns rankings and the SRA required pages that keep you compliant.

Frequently asked

Solicitor SEO questions

What pages does every solicitor website need?
At a minimum: a homepage, a page for each practice area, specific service pages, an about page, a profile page for each solicitor and a clear contact page. Multi office firms need a location page per office, while a reviews section helps. UK firms must also publish SRA required pages, namely price information for certain services, a complaints procedure and regulatory details. A blog or guides section then builds authority.
Do solicitors have to publish their prices?
For certain services, yes. Under the SRA Transparency Rules, firms offering specified services such as conveyancing, probate, motoring offences, immigration, employment tribunal claims, debt recovery or licensing applications must publish clear price and service information on their website. Even where it is not strictly required, the SRA expects you to give clients the best possible information about likely costs, so transparency is wise across the board.
What regulatory information must appear on a solicitor's website?
A regulated firm must display its SRA number and the SRA digital badge prominently, along with the statement that it is authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. You must also publish a complaints procedure covering how to complain and how to escalate to the Legal Ombudsman and the SRA. These are mandatory, so missing them is a common reason firms fall foul of the rules.
Why does each practice area need its own page?
Because Google ranks pages, not firms, so a single page cannot rank well for every area you cover. A dedicated, substantial page for each practice area lets you target the right searches and show genuine depth in that area. Thin pages that list several areas in a few lines rarely rank, while a focused page that explains the law, the process and how you help performs far better.
Should a law firm website have a blog?
Yes, ideally as a blog or guides section. It is one of the most effective ways to build topical authority and to capture the questions clients search before they are ready to instruct. Each article can feed your service pages and improve your rankings. For a solicitor, remember that all content, including anything drafted with AI, must be reviewed by a qualified person before publishing.
Are solicitor profile pages necessary?
They are highly valuable. In a field Google treats as high trust, profile pages that show each solicitor's name, qualifications, SRA details and experience prove real expertise sits behind your firm. They strengthen how Google judges your site and reassure prospective clients. Link each profile to the practice areas that solicitor handles so the trust flows through to your service pages.
