Overview
Cloudhaus Law is a boutique franchise law firm specializing in franchise agreements, FDDs, and MSB compliance across the Greater Toronto Area.
Despite 10+ years of expertise handling 70+ franchise cases and earning 5-star reviews, Irbaz Wahab was struggling with inconsistent lead generation.
"I'm really good at what I do," Irbaz shared. "But I'd only get 2-3 decent inquiries per month. I knew there had to be more potential clients out there looking for help."
The website existed but wasn’t generating business. Google Ads were running but not optimized.
Most critically, when potential clients asked AI assistants like ChatGPT for recommendations or searched “franchise lawyer Richmond Hill “, “franchise lawyer Toronto”, Cloudhaus Law wasn’t showing up.
Goals & Objectives
- Generate immediate qualified leads through paid advertising
- Build sustainable organic search presence
- Dominate local pack across Toronto, Mississauga, North York, Richmond Hill, Burlington & Scarborough

Goals & Objectives
- Near-zero online visibility: Limited rankings, minimal organic traffic

- Fierce competition: Competing against established firms across GTA
- AI invisibility: Absent from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini recommendations
- Geographic spread: Needed authority across 6+ GTA locations simultaneously
