Our proven 11-step framework. No automated PMax garbage. No Maximize Clicks wasting budget. Here's exactly how we turn your ad spend into qualified law prospects and retainer clients.
We build separate ad groups for: Business Formation (LLC, Corp), Contract Services, Litigation, M&A, IP Law, and Employment Compliance. Each group gets service-specific messaging and landing pages.
We set location targets to your actual service areas. If you serve 5 cities, we build separate campaigns per city with local ad copy mentioning that city by name.
Your ads establish credibility: "20+ Years Business Law," "Free Initial Consultation," "Trusted by 500+ Companies." Prospects see your expertise before clicking. Higher-quality leads.
We use Target CPA bidding set to $100–$250 (your cost per lead goal). Google's AI learns which clicks convert to consultations, then bids higher on those. Non-qualified leads don't get funded.
Q1 (Jan–Mar) peaks: 40% of annual budget (tax planning, business formations). Q2–Q3 steady: 30%. Q4 lower: 20% (holiday slowness). We forecast demand and adjust budgets monthly.
High-urgency keywords ("business lawyer near me") bid for position 1 during business hours. Lower-volume keywords bid for positions 2–3. This maximizes visibility where it matters most.
Every ad group gets a unique call-tracking phone number. You see which keywords and ad groups drive consultations. All form submissions tracked in Google Ads with conversion windows optimized for 5–30 minute inquiry cycle.
60%+ of law searches happen on mobile. All landing pages load in under 2 seconds on 4G. Click-to-call button is huge and above the fold. Service info visible immediately.
Every day: review yesterday's calls and consultations. Which keywords underperformed? Lower bid or pause. Which landing pages bounce? Redesign. Which services have high CPL? Adjust messaging.
We track 5–8 top local business law competitors daily. Check their ad copy, landing pages, bid positioning. Identify messaging gaps. If they emphasize "fast" but avoid "affordable," that's your angle.
Once we hit profitable CPL ($100–$250), we scale incrementally. Add high-performing keywords, increase budgets on winning ad groups, test new service types. Maintain profitability while growing to 30+ leads/month.
We don't follow a template. Every campaign is custom-built with proven strategies that work in business law—and nowhere else.
We build Search-only campaigns with manual bidding and keyword-level control. No Display Network wasting budget. No Audience Expansion guessing games. We bid on the exact keywords that matter, at the exact bid we choose.
LLC formation ads get formation landing pages. Litigation ads get litigation pages. Contract review ads show contract-specific testimonials. Each ad group is separately tracked, managed, and optimized. Zero generic homepage traffic.
We know your actual service markets. We build location targets and negative keyword lists around your zones. Zero wasted spend outside your practice areas. Ads only show to people you can actually serve.
We know which keywords drive calls, which drive consultations, which waste budget. Every click is attributed to the exact keyword and service type that generated it. This data drives daily optimization decisions and scaling strategy.
Prospects need to trust you with their legal matters. We show experience upfront: years in practice, client testimonials, free consultations, no hidden fees. Higher-intent clicks, better conversions, lower cost per lead.
Every day, we review yesterday's consultations and response times. Which keywords performed? Which landed low-quality inquiries? We make 3–5 data-driven changes and report them to you weekly with impact on CPL and consultation forecasts.
We recommend a minimum of $2,500–$3,500/month ad spend plus a $500–$900/month management fee depending on campaign complexity (typically 8–12 ad groups). Total monthly investment: $3,000–$4,400. That investment should return 4–6× your ad spend in new consultation leads and retainers, assuming average first-year retainer value of $5,000–$25,000.
CPL = CPC ÷ conversion rate. Average business law CPC is $15–$40, with 8–12% landing page conversion. Math: $40 CPC ÷ 10% conversion = $400 CPL on high-competition keywords. But we're selective. Business formation keywords convert at 10%. Contract review at 9%. Litigation at 12%. Blended CPL: $100–$250. To lower CPL further, we'd optimize landing pages for higher conversion (our target: 12%+ across all pages) or narrow keyword targeting to ultra-high-intent searches only.
No. PMax and Demand Gen waste 50–70% of budget on low-intent impressions across Display, YouTube, Gmail, and Audience Network. A prospect searching "business lawyer near me" on Google Search is 10× more likely to call than someone shown a law firm ad on YouTube. We only buy Search clicks. We bid aggressively on high-intent keywords. We optimize for consultations, not clicks. Our search-only approach costs more per click but delivers 3–4× better ROI.
Campaign launch: Day 1. Ads go live immediately. Keywords start showing. Expect 15–40 clicks on day 1 from prospects searching for business law. Expected consultations in week 1: 5–12. By week 2: 12–20 consultations. By week 3–4: 20–30+ consultations per week. This assumes call tracking and landing pages are ready before launch. Most clients hit 25+ qualified leads/month by week 6 and scale from there.
No contracts. Month-to-month. You can pause or cancel anytime with 10 days notice. That said, business law campaigns get better over time. Weeks 1–4 are setup and initial optimization. Months 2–4 are refinement. Months 5–12 are when you see peak ROI and lowest CPL. If you leave after 4 weeks, you miss the compound optimization gains. Most clients commit 6–12 months because ROI accelerates and lead quality improves.
We build flexible campaigns. In January–March, we ramp budget 40%, increase bids on formation and tax planning keywords, launch seasonal landing pages. In summer, we dial back slightly. In Q4, we dial back further (holiday slowness). Budget and bid adjustments happen monthly based on demand forecasts. You stay profitable year-round.
Google Ads is just one part of the strategy. Most business lawyers need Google Ads + Local SEO + web design. We handle all three.
