PPC FOR LAW FIRMS

PPC for law firms, measured in cases and not clicks.

Google Ads and Local Service Ads put your firm above everything on day one. We run them so the spend is accountable — every dollar traced to a lead, and every lead traced to what it became.

HOW THE TOP OF THE PAGE IS DECIDED
01 — THE QUERY

An auction runs before the page loads.

Someone types five words. In the time it takes to render, Google has picked which firms get the top of the page. This is that auction, and every part of it is something we control.

02 — WHO EVEN ENTERS

Most wasted spend happens here.

Match types decide which searches you enter. Negatives decide which you refuse. Firms bleeding budget are usually paying to appear for “free legal advice” and “lawyer salary” — not for anyone who needs representation.

03 — THE BID

Legal clicks are the most expensive there are.

A personal injury click can run into three figures. That’s the price of entry, and it’s why bidding on instinct is expensive — the number has to come from what a case is worth to you.

04 — QUALITY SCORE

The discount for being relevant.

Google scores how well your ad and landing page answer the search. A high score means you pay less for the same position — which is why the landing page is a media decision, not a design one.

05 — AD RANK

You can outrank a bigger budget.

Rank is bid multiplied by quality, so relevance is leverage against firms that simply spend more. This is the whole reason a well-run smaller account beats a badly-run large one.

06 — THE PLACEMENT

Then it happens again, all day.

Thousands of auctions a month, each one a chance to win or waste. Managing PPC is managing that arithmetic continuously — and reporting it in dollars, not impressions.

WHAT WE ACTUALLY RUN

Four levers, pulled every week.

A paid account is never finished. These are the four things that decide whether the spend works, and all four move constantly.

01
Structure

Campaigns split by practice area and intent, so a car accident search never competes with a slip-and-fall for the same budget.

MATCH TYPES
NEGATIVES
GEO
02
Tracking

Built before a dollar is spent. Dynamic call tracking, forms, and chat on one chain, connected through to intake so a click can be followed to what it became.

Landing

The page the click lands on decides both your conversion rate and your cost per click. Getting it right is the cheapest way to lower a CPC.

ROI

Budget moved toward what produces cases and away from what produces enquiries. Reported in cost per case, because that is the only number that settles an argument.

COST PER CASE
TARGET CPA
ALLOCATION
GOOGLE ADS

The search auction above. Highest intent, highest cost, and the most control over who sees you and when.

LOCAL SERVICE ADS

Above everything, badged, and priced per lead rather than per click. A different auction with different rules — and its own page.

WHAT YOU SEE

Not a dashboard of impressions. A list of leads, and what each one did.

Every lead traced to the campaign, keyword, and surface that produced it — then updated with what happened next. This is the report that makes budget decisions obvious.

ILLUSTRATIVE — YOUR REPORT USES YOUR FIRM'S DATA

Row three is the point. “Free legal advice” produced a lead and never a case — so it becomes a negative keyword, and that budget moves to the two rows above it.

WHY US

We run paid and earned for the same firms, so we have no reason to sell you the one that suits us.

COMING OFF A BIG-AGENCY CONTRACT

Large spend, blanket campaigns, and a contract you can't get out of.

It's a familiar shape. A national agency onboards you, locks in a term, and runs broad campaigns across every practice area with no strategy behind the allocation. The reporting looks busy. Spend is high, leads arrive, and nobody can tell you what a case actually cost. Some of our best work has been with firms in exactly that position — the budget was never the problem.

We start with an audit, not a pitch

Send read-only access. We'll show you where the waste is before you owe us anything.

Wait out the term if you have to

We'll tell you what we'd change now and pick it up when the contract ends. No pressure to break anything.

You keep the account

In your firm's name, with its history intact — so the next transition costs you nothing.

THE MATHEMATICS

We work it out with you, not for you.

What a case is worth, what your intake converts at, what you can afford per lead. Those numbers come from your firm, and they set every bid in the account. Agencies that skip this conversation are guessing with your money.

TRACKING FIRST

We build the measurement before we spend.

Call tracking, forms, and chat on one attribution chain, connected through to your intake so a lead can be traced to what it became. Optimising without that is optimising toward whatever is easiest to count.

HOW WE MEASURE →
SINCE 2009

Law firms, and almost nothing else.

Our leadership has worked with more than a hundred firms. Legal paid search has its own economics — three-figure clicks, long consideration, competitors who will outspend you — and none of it behaves like ecommerce.

YOUR ACCOUNT

In your name, and you keep it.

You own the Google Ads account and the historical data in it. If we part ways, the account and everything it has learned stays with your firm — which is not how every agency does it.

FIT

This works best for firms that count in revenue.

Not leads, not clicks, not impressions. If you already track which leads became cases — or want to start — the whole account can be pointed at that number.

A GOOD FIT
You measure success in revenue
You track leads through to cases
You'll do the math with us
Your intake answers the phone
You want to know your cost per case
NOT A GOOD FIT
You judge paid on lead count alone
Nobody will share what a case is worth
Leads go unanswered for days
You want the cheapest management fee
The budget can't survive a slow month

Legal clicks are expensive enough that a budget too small to gather data is a budget spent learning nothing. We'll tell you on the first call whether yours is above that line.

THE ATTRIBUTION LAYER

We optimise against signed cases, not lead counts.

One keyword can produce twenty enquiries and no cases while another produces three and pays for the year. So we build the measurement first, connect it to your intake, and optimise against what actually became a case.

HOW OUR TRACKING WORKS →
QUESTIONS FIRMS ACTUALLY ASK

The honest answers

How much should we be spending?

It follows from your case value and your intake conversion, not from a package tier. Work backwards: what a case is worth, how many leads become cases, what that makes a lead worth. The budget falls out of that arithmetic — and if the number is uncomfortable, better to know before you spend it.

Why are our clicks so expensive?

Because a case is worth a great deal and every firm in your market knows it. What you can change is what you pay relative to competitors — a higher Quality Score means a lower cost for the same position, and that's mostly landing page and relevance work.

Google Ads or Local Service Ads?

Usually both. LSAs sit above everything and charge per lead, which makes them efficient but capped by how much volume Google gives you. Search ads cost more per lead and scale further. Most firms should hold both surfaces.

Who owns the account?

You do. It's in your firm's name, and if we stop working together you keep it along with all of its history. An account's learning is an asset, and it should be yours.

Should we run paid or do SEO?

If you need volume now, paid. If you want to stop renting the traffic, SEO underneath it. We run both, so there's no incentive to pretend one answer fits every firm — and plenty of firms should start with paid and add earned once the numbers are known.

Send us access and we'll show you where the budget is going, which searches you're paying for that you shouldn't be, and what your cost per case actually looks like. Yours to keep either way.
