Three businesses in one
MML Law covers a wide range of legal work (employment, family, criminal defence, injury claims, wills and executries, disputes), runs a property service that buys and sells homes, and offers regulated financial advice through Scott Fyffe. Visitors arrive needing one of those, often at a stressful time, and should not have to work out the firm's structure to get help.
What the site does
- Contact that starts with the problem. The contact page asks what you need help with (legal, financial services or property) and sends you to the right place, with a plain "not sure?" option that lets the team work it out.
- Practice area pages for each kind of legal work, so someone searching for help with a specific problem lands on the page about it.
- A property section with homes for sale and search by area, including listings in Dundee, Monifieth, Carnoustie and Broughty Ferry when we looked in October 2026.
- Online payments. Clients pay their bills by card through a Pay Now page connected to the firm's card processor, and it is in regular use.
Fixing what had quietly broken
When we audited the site's search data, we found that a large share of visits from Google over the previous year and more had landed on addresses that no longer existed: sold property listings, old home report files and pages that had been renamed. Nobody had noticed, because the site itself looked fine.
We set up redirects so that more than 170 of those retired addresses now send visitors to the right live page, and so that future sold listings are handled automatically. The rules only act when a page is genuinely missing, so they can never hide a live one. It is unglamorous work, and it is exactly the kind of thing that decides whether a website keeps earning. See website redesign for how we protect search traffic during bigger changes.
