What people in Canberra look for

The public service, the universities, defence and the national institutions employ many people, and a steady stream of small businesses serve them. People search by district, such as Belconnen, Tuggeranong or the inner north, and expect a business to look clear, organised and easy to deal with.

Many Canberra clients only have time to deal with a legal matter after work, so evening appointments, an enquiry form that works at night and a clear note on response times matter. People settling into new homes in Canberra often need a will, a power of attorney and guardianship arrangements for the first time, so a page for new families pays off. In a place the size of Canberra, everyone knows someone who has used a lawyer, so the site should show named solicitors, the kinds of matters you handle and a plain statement on confidentiality. Students around Canberra face tenancy problems, part-time work disputes and traffic matters, so a page that says what you advise on and what a first meeting costs is welcome.

Name the places you really work, the way people type them: Belconnen, Gungahlin and Woden, not just Canberra.

The work to name

  • family law and property settlements

  • commercial leases
  • debt recovery
  • business sales and purchases

Everything a site for law firms needs

The rules that shape the words

The same rule bars unearned specialist claims, so say specialist only where the lawyer holds an accredited specialisation.

Fee information has to be accurate and complete, because Australian Consumer Law treats a misleading price statement as a breach.

Law firms in Canberra: questions

How much should a law firm site say about each area?
Enough to answer the first question a client has, then a clear next step. A page that opens with what someone wants to know, such as how a property settlement works after separation, beats a paragraph about commitment. Keep sentences short and avoid legal terms without a plain gloss.
Do I need a page for every practice area?
For the ones you handle regularly, yes. Don't list areas you only touch occasionally, since it dilutes the firm's focus and pushes the ones you lead on out of sight. Say plainly which areas are the core of the practice.
Should a law firm in Canberra name districts like Belconnen and Tuggeranong?
Yes. Canberra is organised around its districts, each with its own town centre, and people use them to describe where they live. Naming the ones you serve, such as Woden, Gungahlin or the inner south, makes it easy for a customer to see you are a fit.
