The problem
Tired of SEO agencies that don't understand Johor Bahru?
Rankings, but no calls
Many agencies chase national blog traffic. Lawyers in Johor Bahru need people close by searching "peguam", not readers from the other end of the country.
Losing "near me" searches
Clients search in English and Malay, often using "peguam" with a town name.
Messy listings and schema
Different addresses or phone numbers on Google, Malaysian Bar lawyer directory and old directories confuse Google and push your law firm down the map in Permas Jaya.
Rising cost per lead
Publicity rules for advocates and solicitors limit claims, so content must stay factual. Paying per click for every Johor Bahru lead gets expensive fast.
How we work
How we do local SEO for lawyers.
Google Business Profile optimisation
Google ranks map results on relevance, distance and prominence. We fix your law firm's profile so it is eligible to rank across Johor Bahru.
- Primary category set to “Law firm”, with tested secondary categories
- Name, address and phone made identical everywhere
- Duplicate or unclaimed listings found and merged
- Services, photos and weekly posts aimed at Iskandar Puteri and Tebrau

If Google sees conflicting details, it drops the listing from the 3-pack rather than risk showing wrong information.
