Here's what we typically fix in the first 30 days. ### $200–$500 Clicks With No Intake Tracking Personal injury, criminal defense, and family law CPCs are the highest in all of Google Ads. Without call tracking, intake scoring, and case-quality feedback into your bidding, you're paying premium rates without knowing which keywords actually produce signed cases. ### Wasting Spend on Tire-Kickers and Pro-Se Searches Half of 'free legal advice' and 'how do I sue' traffic will never sign with a firm. Without aggressive negative keyword discipline and audience exclusions, top-of-funnel waste eats 40%+ of legal ad budgets. ### Sending $300 Clicks to Your Generic Homepage Law firm homepages convert paid traffic at 1–3%. Practice-area landing pages with case-result proof, contingency-fee messaging, and direct intake forms convert at 8–14% — cutting cost per signed case in half. Full-Funnel Law Firms Paid Media ## Every paid channel that books law firms jobs — managed under one roof Google Ads alone leaves money on the table. We blend the channels that actually drive booked appointments for law firms businesses. ### Google Local Services Ads (LSA) Practice-specific LSA placements (immigration, family, estate, business) with Google Screened verification. Pay per qualified lead, not per click. ### Google Search Ads Practice-area × city campaigns for high-intent legal queries — 'personal injury lawyer \[city\],' 'divorce attorney near me' — with bidding tuned by case value. ### Call-Only & Click-to-Call Mobile formats that drive intake calls directly, with CallRail recording, intake scoring, and qualified-lead feedback into your campaigns. ### Performance Max & Display Retargeting Stay in front of researchers across the 30–90 day legal decision cycle — across YouTube, Gmail, Discover, and the Display Network. ### LinkedIn Ads (B2B Law) For corporate, employment, IP, and business-litigation practices targeting in-house counsel, founders, and HR decision-makers. ### Meta & Facebook Ads High-volume practice areas (PI, family, immigration, mass tort) with case-result creative, contingency-fee messaging, and intake-form lead generation.

ThinkProfits' intake tracking finally gave us a real picture of which keywords were producing signed PI cases vs. tire-kicker calls. Cost per signed case dropped 38% in four months and we doubled our ad spend with confidence." — Managing Partner, Personal Injury Firm Law Firms PPC FAQ ## What law firm owners ask before they spend a dollar What's a realistic cost per case for law firm PPC? + It depends entirely on practice area. Personal injury and mass tort signed-case cost typically lands between $400 and $2,500 because the average case value justifies it. Family law and immigration sit between $150 and $600. Criminal defense ranges $120–$450. Estate planning and business law often $80–$300. The right target is a function of average case value × your acceptable cost-per-acquisition ratio — usually 3–8% of expected fee revenue. Should law firms use Google LSA? + Yes — for practice areas where it's available (now expanding rapidly). LSA delivers Google Screened verification and pay-per-lead billing instead of pay-per-click. For practices like family, estate, immigration, and business law, LSA is often the single most cost-effective channel. Personal injury LSA is rolling out in more markets and tends to outperform Search Ads on cost per qualified intake. How quickly will legal PPC start producing signed cases? + Faster than any organic channel — first qualified intake calls typically arrive within 5–14 days of campaign launch. The first 30–60 days are spent eliminating wasted spend on tire-kicker traffic, building intake-quality feedback into bidding, and identifying which practice areas, keywords, and creative produce signed cases versus just calls. By month 3, blended cost per signed case usually drops 25–45%. Do you handle legal advertising compliance? + We work with your firm's compliance officer and follow state-bar advertising rules including disclaimers, results disclaimers, attorney advertising labeling, and prohibited language. Our legal PPC team has reviewed templates for the most common state-bar requirements (California, Texas, New York, Ontario, BC) and adapts copy to your jurisdiction. Do you mark up ad spend? + No. Your spend goes directly to Google, Meta, Microsoft, and LinkedIn on your firm's accounts. We charge a transparent monthly management fee. This matters even more in legal because of the high CPCs — a 15–20% spend markup on a $30,000/month account is real money that should stay with the firm. Will you build dedicated practice-area landing pages? + Yes. Sending $300 PI clicks to your homepage is the single biggest leak in most law firm accounts. We build dedicated practice-area × city landing pages with case-result social proof, contingency-fee messaging, intake forms, click-to-call heroes, and trust signals — engineered to convert legal paid traffic 4–6× better than firm homepages. ## Ready to turn ad spend into booked law firms jobs?
