Your first six months in Family Law SEO
There is a short build‑up, then steady, compounding results. SEO is not perfectly linear, so we keep expectations outcome‑based and transparent.

- We align priorities, launch and upgrade key family law assets (e.g. home page, core priority pages), and put reliable measurement in place.
- Outcome: the essentials are live and working so progress is visible and trackable.
Early Momentum (Months 1–2)
Signals you will see:
- Movement on important family law searches you can verify
- Rising impressions and clicks on priority pages
- First uplift in qualified enquiries where conversion paths improved
How we show it:
- Brief Evidence Update with date‑stamped screenshots and a plain-English summary.
Compounding Growth (Months 3–6)
Signals you will see:
- More Top‑10 and Page-1 positions on commercial family law terms (timing varies by market)
- Month‑over‑month growth in qualified calls and enquiry forms
- Broader coverage of your family law matters and supporting FAQs while reinforcing top performers
You will also receive a simple plan for the following quarter to maintain momentum.

Frequently Asked Questions (Family Law SEO)
We’ve put together answers to the most common family law SEO questions. From timelines to approvals, our goal is to keep the process clear and simple.
How soon will we see progress?
There is a 4‑week build‑up. Most firms see early movement in Months 1–2 and compounding results by Months 3–6. Timing varies by practice area and competition.
Do you redesign the website as part of SEO?
Yes. We include a conversion‑focused and SEO‑optimised redesign or upgrade exclusively in WordPress so increased visibility turns into actual family law enquiries. Expect clearer matter pages, faster load times, mobile performance, and prominent enquiry paths (click‑to‑call, short forms).
Who writes the content? Is it legally accurate?
Content is produced by, or reviewed by, qualified lawyers on our team. It is researched, SEO‑optimised, and written in plain English for family law clients—covering processes, timeframes, documents, fees, and next steps.
Do we need to approve everything?
No. We execute under agreed brand and legal guardrails (including family‑law terminology and jurisdictional references). We only pause if you flag a non‑negotiable legal or brand concern. This keeps momentum while protecting accuracy and tone.
What content do you create and write?
Service pages are written to rank for high‑intent family law terms and to convert—clear eligibility, next steps, and strong CTAs. Articles and FAQs demonstrate expertise in target locations, build topical authority, and help you win both competitive searches and niche long‑tails from ready‑to‑engage clients.
How will we know it’s working?
You’ll receive a concise monthly update showing: enquiries by matter type and page (calls/forms), a snapshot of Top‑3 and Page‑1 rankings for priority family law terms, and two dated screenshots you can verify. No slide decks.
Do you work with competing firms?
We disclose relevant engagements and manage conflicts responsibly. We do not make artificial exclusivity promises; our focus is transparent delivery and results.
Who owns the website, content, and data?
You do. The website, content, designs, and all analytics/search data are your assets. We work inside your accounts, document changes, and provide access to everything so you retain full ownership and control.
Can you handle my practice area?
Yes. We work across all family law sub‑areas including divorce, parenting/custody, property settlement, consent orders, spousal maintenance, child support, mediation, and related family law matters.
What access do you need?
Where your website is currently built (WordPress, Squarespace, Wix etc.), your website and domain hosting account (e.g. GoDaddy, CrazyDomains, SiteGround, Hostinger etc.) Google Search Console/Analytics, and a single point of contact. Approvals are only needed for brand or legal issues.
Is this hands-off for our team?
Yes. Turnkey and lawyer‑led. We handle strategy, content, legal accuracy, design, technical, and links. No approval chains or content input needed; we only pause for non‑negotiable brand or legal concerns.
What makes your approach different?
Execution and evidence. We’re led by lawyers and ship end‑to‑end deliverables, then back it with Australia’s largest set of dated, verifiable law‑firm SEO results—so we run the plays that work and others can’t replicate.

About
Commersion Legal
Founded by Jason Xu (LLB, GDLP) — a former practising lawyer who built Commersion Legal to serve one client type only: law firms. I’ve sat in partner meetings, navigated approvals, conflicts, and risk. That context shapes how we operate: clear briefs, fast drafts, and work that stands up to scrutiny.
What I bring from practice:
- Precision over volume: lawyer‑led content, not generic blogging
- Partner reality: approvals, conflicts, and jurisdiction nuance built into the plan
- Accountability: one owner responsible (me), clear timelines, no hand‑offs
Credentials:
- Formerly of MinterEllison (AU), IAG (AU), Veolia (FR), NRMA (AU).
- Speaker, InView Conference 2023
- Legal Innovator of the Year, Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) 2021
