Audit Findings Summary: example-firm.co.uk
Your Client Acquisition Score: 58 / 100
Right now, 71.3% of example-firm.co.uk's search demand is unclaimed — the site appears in the results, past the first page, where nobody clicks.
The map below found 41 searches where the site's own pages compete with each other and 17 pages with no search they could win — both are fixable with structure, not budget.
The fastest wins: 4 searches already rank within striking distance — the 90-day plan below works on them from week three.
Start with the searches already in striking distance, listed below — every entry names the page and the search it should win.
| Search | Demand | Position | Destination | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| “employment solicitors maidstone” | 1,840 imps | 6.2page 1, low | /services/employment/ | covered |
| “settlement agreement solicitor” | 1,210 imps | 8.9page 1, low | /services/employment/settlement/ | covered |
| “no fault divorce process” | 960 imps | 11.4page 2 | /services/family/divorce/ | not yet mapped |
| “commercial lease renewal solicitor” | 610 imps | 13.0page 2 | /services/commercial-property/ | covered |

Titles, descriptions and headings weeks 1–2 · 2 steps
The highest-leverage change per minute: no design, no development, and click-through movement shows in Search Console within two to four weeks. Striking-distance pages first.
Internal links weeks 2–4 · 2 steps
The second-cheapest lever and it compounds the new titles: each link tells Google which page is the answer for which phrase. Work page by page with the anchor text exactly as written.
| Link from | Anchor text | Where on the page |
|---|---|---|
| /insights/redundancy-rights Redundancy rights | settlement agreement advice variant | In the body copy, in a sentence that already discusses the topic. |
| Link from | Anchor text | Where on the page |
|---|---|---|
| /insights/school-holiday-disputes Holiday disputes | child arrangements variant | In the body copy, in a sentence that already discusses the topic. |
Make the striking-distance pages the answer weeks 3–8 · 6 steps
Writing takes longer and Google re-evaluates slower. Each page opens once: do its call-to-action and named-expert steps in the same visit.
- Apply the metadata rewrite — the title is written to this search see step
- Open with one or two sentences that answer “settlement agreement solicitor” directly, then say who it applies to and what the firm does about it. Keep the page: this is an edit, not a rewrite.
- 1 page will link here with the anchors in the links step see step
- Add testimonials, accreditations or review evidence
- Put the new wording on the page's main button, and repeat it after the main section.
- Put the new wording on the page's main button, and repeat it after the main section.
- Click-through on every page with a metadata step
- Impressions on the striking-distance pages
Technical clean-up weeks 5–8 · 7 steps
Merges and noindex batches protect rankings rather than create them, and they carry some risk, so they follow the wins but land before the day-ninety read.
- Read both pages; copy any paragraph, FAQ or case study that only /insights/divorce-process-explained has into /services/family/divorce.
- Redirect /insights/divorce-process-explained → /services/family/divorce with a 301. If the losing page must stay live (a dated news post), use <link rel="canonical"> pointing at the winner instead.
- Search the site for links to the losing page and point them at the winner.

New pages and the day-ninety read weeks 8–12 · 1 step
New pages are the slowest to write and to rank; they start once the quick wins are in flight. Week twelve is the re-run of your map.

Read the full method note
Detection reads the HTML your server sends, and your busiest commercial pages are read once more in a browser so forms and buttons built by JavaScript count. Elsewhere, forms and buttons injected by JavaScript after load may not be counted — findings are flagged, not judged, where coverage is partial. Position-in-page is measured as how early contact machinery appears in the served HTML — a stated proxy, since no crawler can see the rendered fold.Every commercial page scored on contact machinery, prominence, call-to-action wording, trust evidence, pricing and speed — the page-by-page fix list.
How the authority score is built
- Commercial pages that link to a named expert's bio61.325%
- Your people that clients already search for by name29.220%
- Expert bios Google can read as people (Person schema)20.820%
- Where your searched-for people rank for their own names45.715%
- Recognised authority directories your site links to33.310%
- Commercial pages carrying any structured data54.810%
- Add Person schema to 19 team bios — Google cannot connect their authority to your pages without it.
- Attach a named author to your top commercial pages — a visible byline, a link to their bio, and Person schema.
Clients search for your people by name — the plan links every searched-for expert to the pages that need their authority.
12 commercial pages give searchers no route to a named expert — starting with https://example-firm.co.uk/services/family/divorce/.
