TY Lawyers
tylawyers.com.auPoor · professional services
A legitimate law firm that has been catastrophically hacked with spam injections that are actively destroying its SEO, credibility, and Google rankings.
TY Lawyers has a functional website with reasonable structure, local schema markup, and a clear service offering — but the site has been compromised by malicious spam injections (Danish pharmaceutical ads, Ukrainian loan ads in Cyrillic) embedded directly in the homepage body copy and across multiple pages. This content is visible in Google's index, appearing verbatim in search result snippets, which is a critical emergency. Until this is resolved, every other improvement is irrelevant.
The breakdown · 7 dimensions, worst first
SEO Foundations
22The page title is keyword-stuffed and overly long: 'TY Lawyers | Commercial Law Firm | Small Business Legal Protection | Commercial Litigation | Property Law'. The meta description is cut off in Google's snippet at 'identify commercial elements and issues bey' — it exceeds the character limit. Most damaging: Google's search result snippet for the homepage directly shows the injected Danish pharmaceutical spam and Ukrainian loan text, meaning Google has indexed the hacked content. The site does appear in results for its own brand name but the spam content in snippets will devastate click-through rates.
First Impression
28The hero section leads with three service lines — 'Property. Small Business Legal Protection. Litigation.' — which is clear enough, but the CTAs are generic 'Find Out More' buttons with no destination context. More critically, the 'Welcome to TY Lawyers' section immediately below the hero contains injected Danish Viagra/Kamagra spam and Ukrainian loan spam in Cyrillic, which any visitor or bot will encounter within seconds of landing. This is catastrophic for first impressions and trust.
AI & LLM Visibility
38The site has a well-structured LegalService schema block with name, address, telephone, geo-coordinates, opening hours, price range, and notably 'knowsLanguage' listing English, Cantonese, and Mandarin — a genuine differentiator for the local Chinese community that AI systems could cite. The areaServed fields correctly identify Chatswood and Lower North Shore. However, the injected spam content severely pollutes the entity signal — an AI parsing this page will encounter Danish and Ukrainian text alongside English legal content, creating confusion about the site's purpose, language, and trustworthiness. No sameAs links to authoritative directories (e.g., Law Society of NSW) are present in the schema.
Trust & Authority
41Ivan Hung's profile (visible in the /about/team Google result) is genuinely impressive — boutique and national firm experience, 14 years as a Chinese radio host, community leadership — but this content is buried on a sub-page and not surfaced on the homepage. There are no client testimonials, Google review counts, case outcomes, or professional body memberships (e.g., Law Society of NSW) visible on the homepage. The firm was established in 2014, which is mentioned, but no awards, accreditations, or media mentions are displayed. The spam injections actively undermine any trust signals present.
Design & Brand
42The site has a consistent navigation structure with logical service groupings and a clear firm name. However, image alt tags are either empty or use generic filenames like 'FBhome', 'LinkedinHome', and 'yt' — providing no descriptive value. Service section images use numeric filenames ('/images/pageBgImg/9/9.png') with no alt text. The heading hierarchy is inconsistent, with H5 tags used for service section titles rather than a proper H2/H3 structure.
Messaging & Copy
44The core value proposition — 'Transparency, accessibility, and a solution-oriented approach' — is present and the firm's differentiator ('we appreciate what you want and need beyond legal matters') is a reasonable hook. However, all CTAs are either 'Find Out More' or 'Read More' with no action-oriented language like 'Book a Free Consultation' or 'Get Legal Advice Today'. The meta description is truncated mid-sentence in Google results. The spam injections also fragment the legitimate copy, making the page incoherent.
Conversion
46A contact form exists (visible in the Google result for /contact) with fields for name, email, phone, service category, and message — this is a solid conversion asset. The phone number (02 8007 0135) is present in the schema and on the contact page. However, the homepage itself has no phone number displayed, no direct booking link, and no consultation offer. The six service cards each link to deeper pages but use identical 'Read More' CTAs. There is no urgency, no free consultation offer, and no sticky contact element visible in the scraped content.
