Family law marketing that clients can trust

Family law marketing for firms that help people through separation: calm, discreet campaigns that build trust long before the first call.

Partnership plans from $4,500 + GST a month

Family lawyers

Family law marketing that respects how separating clients search

Rock Solid Marketing plans and runs family law marketing for law firms and practitioners across Australia, from our head office in Mildura. Someone thinking about separation rarely calls a lawyer straight away. They read for weeks, often late at night, sometimes on a phone or laptop the other person can see. When they finally reach out, they choose the firm that already made them feel understood.

So the marketing is calm and discreet: plain-English guides to the process, a website that's safe to browse, careful ads and an enquiry path that protects their privacy. Every page stays inside the conduct rules your firm practises under.

Partnership plans from $4,500 + GST a month cover the work, and we begin with a free 30-minute discovery call.

Common problems

What gets in the way, and how we fix it

  1. Your website talks about the firm, while the client wants to know what happens next.

    What we do

    Guides walk through each stage in plain English (separating, parenting arrangements, property settlement, family dispute resolution and court) for a reader who's stressed and short on time.

  2. Retargeting ads follow a client onto a shared family laptop.

    What we do

    We keep retargeting light, cap how often ads appear and use neutral wording and images. An ad then doesn't reveal a separation to whoever is looking over a shoulder.

  3. A client leaving a violent relationship lands on a page they can't leave quickly.

    What we do

    A quick-exit button on every page, an enquiry form that asks for a safe contact method first, and a privacy note that explains what happens to their details.

  4. Ads lean on outcomes the firm can't promise.

    What we do

    Wording stays clear of promised results, and specialist claims appear only where a lawyer is accredited. Your principal approves every piece before it runs.

Services for family lawyers

Digital marketing for family lawyers, built around discretion

Family lawyers need marketing that earns trust from people at a hard moment, so every channel is planned for privacy as much as reach.

Plain-English process guides

Guides to separation, parenting arrangements, child support basics, property settlement and family dispute resolution, checked by your lawyers so they're accurate and useful without being legal advice.

Search for the questions people ask

Pages and articles built around what separating people search for, plus a Google Business Profile that lists your family law services and hours. SEO plans start from $1,000 + GST a month.

A website that's safe to browse

A quick-exit button, discreet page titles, an enquiry form that asks for a safe contact method and a clear privacy note. Website packages start from $5,000 + GST.

Careful paid search

Google Ads on searches that show someone is ready to talk, such as a family lawyer near them or mediation. Ad copy stays neutral and retargeting is capped.

A gentle follow-up

People who download a guide or book a first consultation get a short, calm email series. It covers what to bring, what it costs and what happens next, with an easy unsubscribe.

The lawyer they'll actually meet

Profiles, photos and short videos of your family lawyers, so a nervous client knows who they'll sit down with. Specialist wording appears only where a lawyer holds accreditation.

Enquiries by matter type

A monthly report splits enquiries into parenting, property, divorce and mediation, so you can see which guides and searches bring in the clients your team wants.

Who it’s for

Is it the right fit?

Who it’s for

  • Family law firms, and general practices with a family law team
  • Sole practitioners building a family law practice
  • Firms offering mediation or collaborative law alongside court work
  • Regional firms drawing family clients from surrounding towns

Not a fit

  • Firms that want aggressive or fear-based campaigns
  • A practice that only needs a new website: a website project may suit better
  • Firms expecting promised matter numbers

How it starts

Every campaign starts with your clients' first questions

Before any ad runs, we sit down with your family lawyers and intake staff. We list the questions new clients ask on the first call and the matters you want more of (parenting, property, divorce, mediation). We also note the towns you draw clients from and the words your principal won't use.

Those questions become the guides, the search pages and the ad wording. We also agree the safety features the website needs and who approves each piece.

You leave with a content and channel plan built on what your clients actually ask, whoever delivers it.

  • The questions clients ask on the first call
  • Matter types you want more of
  • Towns and regions you draw from
  • Safety and privacy features to add
  • Wording your principal won't use

Answer the questions clients ask before they call.

All FAQs

Family law marketing on one of our partnership plans starts from $4,500 + GST a month for 28 hours of work. Firms with several family lawyers or a wide regional catchment usually need Standard ($5,500 + GST, 35 hours). Advanced is $7,500 + GST for 45 hours. Ad spend is paid to Google or Meta on top, and you set the budget.

Paid search can bring enquiries soon after it goes live, because people searching for a family lawyer are often ready to talk. Guides and search rankings take months to build, but they reach people earlier in their thinking, when trust forms. We report enquiries by matter type every month, and we don't promise client numbers.

Start with plain-English pages for each matter type, a profile for every family lawyer and clear first-step pricing if you offer fixed-fee consultations. Add a quick-exit button, an enquiry form that asks for a safe contact method and a privacy note. Each page should explain what happens next, because uncertainty is what stops a nervous client from calling.

Carefully. Reviews must be genuine, never paid for or edited, and a testimonial must not create unjustified expectations about results. The solicitors' conduct rules and consumer law both apply, and details differ between states, so we check with your principal first. Many family clients won't leave a public review at all, so the marketing shouldn't depend on them.

Yes, for trust more than leads. Short posts that explain a process step, introduce a lawyer or share a guide build familiarity, while comments and messages need careful handling because of privacy. Facebook and Instagram reach individuals, and LinkedIn keeps referrers such as accountants and counsellors aware of you. We moderate comments and keep client stories out.

We write every ad and page to be accurate, not misleading and free of promised outcomes, as the solicitors' conduct rules require. Specialist wording appears only where a lawyer holds accreditation, and fees are stated clearly with any conditions. Your principal approves each piece before it runs, and your firm stays responsible for its own compliance.

Yes. Regional clients often weigh travel time against finding a lawyer they trust, and many firms now offer video meetings. We write pages for the towns you serve that say honestly how meetings work, set your Google profile's service area and target ads by region. We work from Mildura ourselves, so regional catchments are familiar ground.

Yes. There are no lock-in contracts on our partnership plans, and the guides, website content, Google profile and ad accounts belong to your firm. If you stop, we hand everything over. If your website and Google profile are the real gap, a one-off project may do more than a monthly plan, and we'll tell you before we quote.
