“Most law firms measure marketing the wrong way. They count channels — how many platforms they’re active on, how many ad types they’re running, how many experiments they can point to. The assumption is that breadth signals sophistication.
PE-minded firms — the ones building toward enterprise value, not just annual revenue — count something different. They count coverage. Specifically: two to three channels pulling real weight across each of seven categories. Not depth in forty. Coverage across seven.
The distinction matters more than it sounds. A firm with ten channels and no category discipline is spreading budget across noise. A firm with carefully owned coverage — three per category — is building a defensible system.
One of those seven categories is owned media. Hugo Gomez identifies it as where most firms leave the most on the table: a multilingual website, SEO in multiple languages, AI search presence (ranking in LLMs like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude), and email nurturing — not just to clients, but to everyone who has ever interacted with the firm. That list alone represents thousands, sometimes millions, in revenue that never gets captured because nobody is working it.
The firms at $20M didn’t get there by running everything. They got there by being covered across what matters.“
