Legal is the most expensive category in paid search, and the one where account structure, call handling and reviews decide the outcome more than anywhere else. We ran a personal injury firm's paid search across three markets for eight years, at multiple six figures a month at peak, built their first landing page and Google Ads account, and took their Google reviews from a handful of bad ones to hundreds at 4.8. That account is the playbook we run for every firm. Read the case study.
Practice areas we work in
Personal injury (auto, truck, motorcycle, premises, wrongful death), DUI and criminal defense, family law, immigration, employment and workers' compensation. Each has its own search language, its own cost per click and its own compliance considerations, and each gets its own campaign structure.
What legal PPC needs that other categories don't
- Intent separated by urgency. "Arrested last night" and "how much is a DUI lawyer" are different campaigns with different bids and different pages.
- Call tracking to intake. In legal, the lead is a phone call and intake decides whether it becomes a case. We track to keyword level and work with your intake team on answer rates and scripts, because a missed call at $150 a click is a real loss. Call tracking.
- Offline conversion import. Signed cases fed back to Google so bidding optimizes for cases, not calls.
- Local Services Ads. Google Verified, review-driven, pay per lead, shown above everything. The most contested LSA category and one we manage daily. LSA.
- Bar-compliant copy. Advertising rules vary by state; we write to them.
- Practice-area landing pages with case results where allowed, attorney bios, and a call button that's always visible. Landing pages.
Reviews
The process that built several hundred 4.8-star reviews for a PI firm: follow up with every client after their case closes, make leaving a Google review easy, and get complaints to the firm fast so they are handled. Reviews drive LSA ranking, map pack ranking, and click-through on ads showing stars. Local SEO.
What it costs
Most firms we work with spend $5,000 to $100,000 a month on Google and Microsoft. Management is an onboarding fee plus a tiered percentage of spend, 15 percent on the first $25,000 and less above it. LSA management is included for the first 90 days. Pricing.
