What does a professional services marketing agency do?
+
A professional services marketing agency helps firms such as solicitors, accountants, financial advisers and consultants win more of the right clients. At Last to Leave that means one plan across SEO, AI search, Google Ads, LinkedIn, email and conversion rate optimisation, run by one team, with a dedicated account manager reporting on enquiries every month.
Which marketing channels work best for professional services firms?
+
It depends on how your clients choose a firm. Firms that serve local clients, such as solicitors and accountants, usually get most enquiries from local search, their Google Business Profile and Google Ads. Firms that sell to businesses, such as consultants and training providers, tend to do better with LinkedIn, case studies and email. We set the mix in your 12-month roadmap.
How long does professional services marketing take to work?
+
Google Ads can start bringing in enquiries soon after launch, because you are bidding on searches happening today. SEO and AI search build over months, as new pages are indexed and your firm earns reviews and links. Most plans run both, so paid search covers the gap while organic visibility grows. Your roadmap sets out what to expect and when.
How do you improve the quality of enquiries?
+
We start with your ideal client profile, or ICP: a clear description of the clients most worth winning. Campaigns target those people, exclude searches that rarely become clients, such as requests for free advice or jobs, and send visitors to pages that match what they searched for. We then measure which enquiries became consultations and adjust the plan.
Can you help my firm appear in AI search?
+
Yes. AI search, also called LLM search, is when people get answers from tools like Google's AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini or Copilot instead of a list of links. We write clear, well-structured pages that answer the questions your clients ask, and build the reviews and local signals these tools use when they recommend a firm.
Do you work with regulated firms such as solicitors and financial advisers?
+
Yes. We write ads, landing pages and emails with your professional rules in mind, such as the SRA Transparency Rules for solicitors and the FCA financial promotion rules for advisers, and we build in time for your compliance sign-off before anything goes live. Responsibility for compliance stays with your firm.
How will I know what my marketing is earning?
+
Every form, call and booking is tracked through GA4, Google Search Console and Looker Studio, so you can see which channel each enquiry came from. Your dedicated account manager reports every month on what worked, what didn't and what we are doing next, and we review results against your roadmap every quarter.
Do you only work with firms in Brighton?
+
No. We are based in Brighton and work with firms across the UK. Local search matters for most professional services firms, so we build visibility in each town or city you serve, whether you have one office or several.
