How do chambers get found online?
Most traffic comes from people searching a barrister's name, a specialism plus "barrister", or a practice group. Detailed, current profiles, practice group pages with their own content, and a news section that reports real cases give Google and AI tools a clear picture of who does what. A generic "Welcome to chambers" home page does very little on its own.
