Drive qualified leads to your law firm with targeted Google Ads campaigns managed by our legal marketing experts.

Are you a lawyer or law firm looking to attract more clients online? Our marketing agency specializes in Google Ads for legal services, helping attorneys reach the right clients at the right time. We combine our deep knowledge of the legal industry with proven pay-per-click (PPC) strategies to deliver real results. The following service overview explains how we create successful Google Ads campaigns for law firms in a conversational, step-by-step way – so you know exactly what to expect when you partner with us.

Why Google Ads Matter for Law Firms

When someone needs legal help, their first move is often to perform a Google search. Google Ads allows your firm to appear at the very top of those search results, precisely when potential clients are searching for services you offer. Here’s why Google Ads work so effectively for attorneys:

Immediate Visibility: Instead of waiting months to rank organically, your law firm’s website can show up above organic search results within days of launching a Google Ads campaign. This is crucial in competitive fields like personal injury or family law, where potential clients tend to contact the first few attorneys they find.

Targeted Reach: Google Ads lets us target specific keywords and locations so your ads are shown to the exact target audience you want – for example, people searching for “divorce lawyer near me” within 20 miles of your office. You won’t waste ad spend advertising to people outside your area or practice scope.

Pay for Results: With PPC ads, you only pay when someone clicks on your ad and visits your site (or calls you directly from the ad). This means every dollar of ad spend goes toward actual prospective clients, and we can cap daily budgets so you never overspend on your advertising budget.

Measurable ROI: Unlike billboards or print ads, Google Ads provides detailed data on campaign performance. We’ll see how many people saw your ad in search engine results, clicked it, and contacted you. This data-driven approach means we can continually refine your ppc campaigns to improve results over time.

Competitive Edge: Many of your competitors are likely already using Google Ads. A well-run ad campaign helps level the playing field, allowing a smaller law firm to compete with big law firms by appearing prominently in search engine results pages when it counts.

In short: Google Ads puts your law firm in front of prospective clients right when they need you. Now, let’s talk about how we make that happen, step by step.

Our Hands-On PPC Approach for Attorneys

We understand that marketing for legal services isn’t one-size-fits-all. Law is a Your Money, Your Life (YMYL) area – potential clients are often in stressful situations, and trust is paramount. Our team brings experience and expertise in legal PPC marketing, which means we know how to handle the unique challenges of advertising law firms online.

What sets us apart? We don’t just run ad campaigns; we partner with your firm to truly understand your goals, then use a hands-on approach to achieve them. From choosing the relevant keywords to writing ad copy that resonates (while staying compliant with legal advertising rules), we sweat the details. Our specialists are Google Ads certified and have managed campaigns for multiple practice areas – including personal injury law, family law, criminal defense, immigration, and more. This experience helps us hit the ground running and avoid costly mistakes in your Google Ads campaign setup.

We also emphasize transparency and collaboration. You’ll receive regular updates on your campaign performance in plain language (no confusing jargon) about how your Google Ads campaigns are performing. Have questions or new goals? We’re just a phone call away and happy to adjust your marketing strategy based on your feedback. Our goal is to be a trusted extension of your team, handling the technical side of Google Ads so you can focus on serving your clients.

“Their team transformed our Google Ads results completely. We’re getting three times the leads at less than half the cost we were spending before, and they’re converting to clients at a much higher rate.” — Sarah Johnson, Managing Partner, Johnson Family Law

Case Study: Westlake Personal Injury Attorneys

Westlake Personal Injury had tried Google Ads on their own but saw little success – their ad spend disappeared on clicks that never turned into calls. After we took over, we discovered they were bidding on broad match terms like “lawyer” that attracted a lot of unqualified traffic. We refocused their ppc campaign on specific keywords and long tail keywords like “car accident lawyer in [City]” and added negative keywords to their negative keyword list to filter out job seekers and researchers. Within a month, their ads were only showing when users search for urgent legal needs. The result? Their monthly lead volume doubled (from 15 to 30 leads), and the cost per lead dropped by 40%. That’s the difference an effective Google Ads campaign can make.

Now, let’s break down our process and the components of a successful law firm Google Ads campaign.

Campaign Types & Targeting Strategies for Law Firms

Not all Google Ads are created equal. Depending on your marketing strategy, we can leverage different campaign types within the Google Ads interface to maximize your reach. Here are the primary campaign types we manage for law firms and how each works:

Campaign Type	Where Your Ads Appear	Best Used For
Search Ads	Google search engine results (top of page, marked “Ad”).	Reaching high-intent prospects actively searching for legal help (e.g., “estate lawyer near me”). These text-based ads drive immediate inquiries from people looking for an attorney now.
Local Services Ads	Google’s local results with a “Google Screened” badge (often above normal search ads).	Generating direct phone calls/leads. You pay per lead (not per click). Ideal for lawyers in eligible practice areas (like estate planning, family law) aiming to build trust with Google’s background check and boost local visibility.
Display Ads	Banner ads on Google Display Network, YouTube, or Gmail.	Brand awareness and retargeting. Great for keeping your firm top-of-mind. For example, if someone visited your law firm’s website but didn’t contact you, a follow-up display ad can remind them of your services.
Video Ads	Video promotions on YouTube and other video partner sites.	Education and trust-building. You can share short informative videos (e.g., “What to do after a car accident”) to engage potential clients, showcase your expertise, and drive website traffic to your site.
Remarketing	(Technique, often via Display Network) Ads shown to people who previously visited your website.	Re-engagement. Gently nudging past visitors to return and contact you. This often uses display or even search ads customized for an audience already familiar with your firm.

We’ll recommend the campaign types that make sense for your firm. For most lawyers, Search Ads are the bread and butter because they capture people actively seeking an attorney through Google search. However, we often supplement search campaigns with remarketing on the Google Display Network to improve conversion rates – if a prospect didn’t convert on the first visit, a reminder ad can bring them back when they’re ready to decide.

In some cases, we might set up Local Services Ads (LSAs) (also known as Google Screened for lawyers) to capture leads from Google’s special lawyer finder at the very top of the search engine results pages. LSAs can be powerful for certain practices – since they show your reviews, verify you as a trusted provider, and charge only when a lead calls or messages you. If you’re eligible and it fits your strategy, our team can help get you Google Screened and manage those ads as well.

Geo-Targeting & Scheduling: An important aspect of Google Ads campaign setup is deciding who sees your ads and when. We typically geo-target your campaigns to your service area – whether that’s a specific city, multiple counties, or an entire state. If your firm only serves a particular region, we ensure people outside that area don’t see the ads (so you don’t pay for clicks that can’t turn into clients). We can even schedule ads to show at certain times of day if needed. For example, a personal injury lawyer might want ads running 24/7 for emergency calls, while an estate lawyer might prefer business hours when staff are available to respond. All these targeting tweaks help maximize the impact of your advertising budget by focusing on the right target audience at the right time.

Our Step-by-Step Google Ads Setup Process

Launching a successful Google Ads campaign for law firms involves several key steps. We handle everything for you, keeping you in the loop at each stage. Here’s an overview of how we set up your Google Ads campaigns:

Discovery & Goal Setting

First, we learn about your firm. What types of cases are most valuable to you? Do you want more calls or more form submissions? Are there certain jurisdictions or case types you don’t want? We work with you to define clear goals and tailor our strategy. (For example, a personal injury firm might say “focus on auto accidents and slip-and-fall cases, with a goal of 20+ leads per month.”)

Keyword Research

Strategic keyword research is the foundation of effective Google Ads campaigns for law firms. Our systematic approach identifies exactly how potential clients search when they need legal services. We don’t just rely on guesswork—we leverage advanced tools and legal industry expertise to develop a comprehensive keyword architecture that captures high-intent prospects at every stage of their decision journey. This research-driven methodology ensures your ad budget is invested efficiently, targeting people actively seeking your specific legal services rather than casual browsers or irrelevant traffic.

Campaign & Ad Group Structure

Ad Copy Creation

Landing Page Optimization

Getting a potential client to click your ad is only half the battle – what happens after the click is just as important. If the visitor lands on a slow, confusing, or irrelevant landing page, they’ll likely hit the “back” button before giving your firm a chance. That’s why landing page optimization is a core part of our service. We either work with your existing site or help you create dedicated landing pages to make sure that every click counts. Here’s what that entails:

Relevance to Ad & Keyword

We match the landing page content to the ad that was clicked. If our ad talked about “24/7 DUI Defense Help,” then the page should prominently feature your DUI defense services and mention the 24/7 availability. Consistency reassures visitors they’ve come to the right place. We avoid sending ad traffic to a generic homepage (unless your homepage is extremely well-optimized) because a generic page might not speak directly to the specific thing the user searched for.

Strong Headline & Copy

We use a clear, concise headline on the landing page that mirrors the user’s intent. For example, “Charged with a DUI? Get a Free Consultation from an Experienced DUI Attorney.” Below that, the page copy should briefly introduce your firm’s qualifications and speak to the client’s needs (e.g., “We understand how stressful a DUI charge is. Our attorneys have helped 500+ clients in similar situations…”). The language stays at about an 8th-grade reading level – no dense legal jargon – so that any visitor can quickly grasp how you can help them.

Fast and Mobile-Friendly Design

We ensure the landing page loads quickly and looks great on mobile devices. Many legal searches happen on smartphones (imagine someone at the scene of a car accident or just after getting served divorce papers). If your page doesn’t load fast on a phone, that potential client might bail. We check page speed and optimize images/content for performance. We also use mobile-responsive design so all elements (text, buttons, forms) are easy to read and tap on smaller screens.

Focused on One Goal

A good landing page for Google Ads has a singular focus – convert the visitor into a lead. That means we usually minimize or remove extraneous navigation links or distractions that could lead someone away. The visitor can still access your main site if they want (often via a subtle top menu or your logo), but the page itself will encourage them to contact you as the next step.

By optimizing these aspects, we’ve seen conversion rates significantly improve for our law firm clients. For example, a family law firm client initially sent Google Ads traffic to a general “Our Services” page and was getting a lot of clicks but few inquiries. We built a dedicated landing page for “Custody & Divorce Help” with a heartfelt message addressing common fears and a quick form. The result: their conversion rate jumped from 3% to 10% – meaning 3x more visitors started contacting the firm. That’s the power of a well-optimized landing page.

We’ll either guide your web team on these best practices or handle the page creation/updates for you, depending on your arrangement. The end goal is the same: when someone clicks your ad, they find exactly what they need and feel confident reaching out.

An often overlooked step in Google Ads campaign setup: we ensure that clicking the ad leads to a landing page designed to convert that visitor into a client. If you have a dedicated page on your law firm’s website for the specific service (e.g., a page all about DUI Defense), we’ll use it. If not, we may suggest creating one.

Prominent Call-to-Action

We make it easy for the visitor to contact you. This means your phone number is bold and visible (with a click-to-call button on mobile), and there’s often a simple contact form on the landing page with an inviting prompt like “Request Your Free Case Evaluation.” The form might only ask for basic info (name, contact, brief description) to reduce friction. We usually place a call-to-action button or form near the top of the page and again as the visitor scrolls, so it’s always handy.

Trust Signals

Choosing a lawyer is a big decision, so we incorporate elements that build trust right on the landing page. This can include:

Client Testimonials or Reviews: A short quote from a happy client (“[Your firm] was there for me from day one… – John D.”) can reassure prospects.

Attorney Credentials: Logos of awards (Super Lawyers, Avvo rating, BBB accredited, etc.) or a note of “20+ years serving our community” help establish credibility.

Case Results or Success Stories: Where appropriate, we might mention representative successes (without promising outcomes) like “Recovered $1.2M for an injured client” or “Hundreds of families helped in divorce cases.” This shows experience.

Privacy Reassurance: A subtle note near a contact form that says “Your information is confidential and will not be shared” can encourage people to reach out without fear.

A good landing page for Google Ads should load fast, be mobile-friendly, and immediately address the visitor’s needs. We help optimize your landing pages with compelling headlines, trust indicators (like awards or client testimonials), and easy contact options (phone number at the top, a simple contact form, etc.). (See the landing page example section below for more on this.)

Budget & Bidding Strategy

Smart Budget Management for Legal Advertising

Sensible Budget Planning

We'll work with you to set a sensible advertising budget based on your goals. Legal keywords can range from a few dollars to $50+ for competitive terms like "car accident lawyer." We'll create a plan to maximize results regardless of your budget size.

Strategic Bidding Approach

We typically start with Manual or Enhanced CPC bidding to gather initial data with control. Once we have sufficient conversion data, we may switch to smart bidding strategies like Target CPA or Maximize Conversions to leverage Google's AI for optimization.

Continuous Bid Management

We constantly monitor and adjust bids to ensure you're paying competitive rates without overspending. Our goal is to train Google's AI to recognize quality leads for your firm while maintaining cost efficiency throughout your campaign.

Conversion Tracking Setup

Complete Conversion Tracking

Pre-Launch Setup

Before launching your campaign, we implement conversion tracking in your Google Ads account by placing tracking code on your website. This setup is essential for measuring real results and optimizing your advertising spend.

Comprehensive Tracking

We track all potential client actions, including form submissions on your contact page, calls from the website, and clicks on your phone number for mobile users. If you have a thank-you page or specific "Contacted us" event, we'll configure that too.

Advanced Integration

We can integrate with Google Analytics 4 or your CRM system for deeper insights. This advanced integration allows us to follow the complete journey of your potential clients from ad click to becoming a client.

Data-Driven Optimization

By tracking every lead, we identify exactly which keywords and ads are producing results for your law firm. This data allows us to continuously refine your campaigns for maximum return on investment.

Launch and Early Monitoring

Everything is double-checked (including compliance with legal ad rules) and then we set the campaigns live! The work isn't over at launch – in fact, the first few weeks are critical. We keep a close eye on search queries, budget pacing, and initial results each day. If we see any unexpected terms triggering your ads, we add them to your negative keyword list immediately. If certain ads aren't getting clicks, we might tweak the headlines. This proactive monitoring ensures that your ad spend is used wisely from Day 1.

By following this thorough Google Ads campaign setup process, we build a strong foundation for your ppc campaign. It's like preparing a case for trial – success is in the preparation. Now, let's dive deeper into a few of these components, because each one is vital to getting you quality leads.

Crafting Compelling Ad Copy that Converts

Writing great ad copy for lawyers is about balancing persuasion, relevance, and compliance. We take this very seriously, as it's often the difference between a prospect clicking your ad or scrolling past it in search results. Here's how we craft ads that generate clicks and clients:

Eye-Catching Headlines

We use your most compelling selling points right up front. For example, headlines might include phrases like "Experienced [City] Personal Injury Attorney" or "[X] Lawyers, No Fee Unless We Win", depending on what is appropriate and allowed. The goal is to immediately show when users search that your firm offers exactly what they need. We stay within Google Ads character limits while packing in as much value as possible.

Relevant Keywords

Each ad copy is written to closely match the keywords in its ad group. If the keyword is "estate planning lawyer," we'll make sure the ad mentions estate planning. This not only reassures the user they've found what they're looking for, but it also improves your Quality Score (Google's measure of ad relevance), which can lower your cost per click. We implement exact match and phrase match strategies for precision.

Benefits and Differentiators

We highlight what makes your firm stand out from the rest. This could be your years of experience, a free consultation offer, successful case results, client testimonials, or special qualifications (e.g., "Board-Certified Family Law Expert"). We think about what a client cares about—speed, trust, results, and empathy—and speak to those needs. For instance, an ad for an immigration lawyer might say "Responsive Immigration Attorney – Hablamos Español – Family & Work Visas" to hit multiple key concerns (communication, language, and service range).

Clear Call to Action (CTA)

Every ad invites the prospect to take the next step. Common CTAs we use are "Call Today for a Free Consultation," "Get Legal Help Now," or "Schedule Your Case Review." We make it obvious what action the user should take and that it's easy to get started.

Ad Extensions

As mentioned earlier, we deploy all relevant ad extensions to give your ads more visibility in Google search. These include:

Call Extensions: Adds a clickable phone number. Mobile users can tap to call your office directly from the ad. This is great for urgent matters.

Location Extensions: Shows your address (especially useful if clients often visit your office, and it reinforces that you're local).

Sitelink Extensions: Links to additional pages on your law firm's website (e.g., "Our Attorneys," "Client Testimonials," "Case Results," etc.), which can answer a prospect's questions or build trust even before they click.

Callout Extensions: Short phrases highlighting perks (e.g., "Free Consultation," "24/7 Availability," "Trusted by 100+ Clients," "Top Rated on Google").

Structured Snippets: Pre-defined categories like "Services:" where we can list types of cases you handle (e.g., Services: Divorce, Child Custody, Alimony, Adoption).

All these elements combined make your ad not only informative but compelling. We continually test different ad copy, too. For example, we might run two versions of an ad with different headlines ("Affordable Bankruptcy Lawyer" vs. "Trusted Bankruptcy Attorney 20+ Years") to see which gets a better response. This A/B testing approach lets us refine the messaging over time, honing in on what resonates most with your target audience in Google search.

And of course, we ensure everything we write is professional and ethical – which leads us to the next critical topic: compliance.

Legal Advertising Compliance – Playing by the Rules

Marketing for legal services comes with strict ethical and legal guidelines. As your marketing partner, we make sure every ad we run adheres to both Google's advertising policies and your jurisdiction's bar regulations. Your reputation (and license) are far too important to ever risk with dubious advertising tactics. Here's how we keep your Google Ads campaigns 100% compliant:

We stay up-to-date on attorney advertising rules in your state or region

This includes restrictions on how you can phrase things like specialties or case results. For example, many state bars prohibit guarantees of outcomes ("We always win cases!") or the use of terms like "best lawyer." We carefully avoid any language that could be deemed misleading or exaggerated.

We include disclaimers if required

Some jurisdictions require statements like "Attorney Advertising" or a disclaimer that "prior results do not guarantee similar outcomes." If those apply to you, we'll seamlessly integrate them into ads or landing pages as needed, without hurting the marketing message.

We follow Google Ads policies relevant to legal services

Google has its own rules – for instance, certain types of legal ads (like those for bail bonds or certain political/legal topics) have additional restrictions or verification requirements. We ensure your campaigns meet all of Google advertising criteria so you don't get disapproved ads.

Every ad goes through a quality assurance review

Before an ad is published, our team double-checks it for compliance and accuracy. If needed, we can also run any phrasing by your firm's compliance officer or managing partner for approval.

Staying compliant

Not only protects your law license and credibility, but it also builds trust with potential clients. People seeking legal help are often in vulnerable situations – they need to trust that your advertising is honest and professional. We make sure it is.

"We appreciate how careful the team is with our advertising compliance. In a state with strict bar regulations, they've helped us maintain an aggressive marketing presence while staying well within the guidelines." – Michael Roberts, Roberts Criminal Defense

Legal Ad Compliance Checklist: We ensure every campaign meets these standards:

• No misleading claims or "guaranteed" outcomes
• Adhere to state bar advertising rules (e.g., use required disclaimers)
• Use truthful, verifiable statements (we can back up any claim made)
• Respect privacy and confidentiality in ad content
• Follow all relevant Google Ads policies for legal services

By checking all the boxes above, we keep your advertising ethical and effective. You can have peace of mind that your marketing efforts are in good hands, while we focus on getting you more potential clients.

Smart Bidding & Budget Management

One of the scariest parts of Google Ads for many lawyers is the idea of budgeting – "Are we just flushing money with each click?" Rest assured, our budget management and bidding strategies are designed to maximize your return and minimize waste. We treat your ad spend as if it were our own money. Here's how we approach it:

Competitive Keyword Bidding

Legal keywords can be pricey (some high-value keywords in personal injury law or criminal defense can cost $50-$100 per click). We do our homework to determine the right bid for each keyword – high enough that your ads show up on page one of search engine results pages and get clicks, but not more than necessary. We often start with manual bidding, meaning we set initial max CPC (cost-per-click) bids based on industry data and our experience. We monitor closely and adjust bids for each keyword depending on its performance. If a keyword is bringing in leads efficiently, we might bid more aggressively on it. If another is costing too much without results, we bid it down or pause it.

Bid Adjustments for Targeting

Google Ads lets us tweak bids for certain conditions – and we use these to fine-tune your campaigns. For example, if we notice that mobile users are more likely to call your firm, we might increase bids for mobile devices to win more of those impressions. Or if your ads perform better in a specific city or zip code, we raise bids there. We can also schedule higher bids during peak hours (say, weekday mornings if that's when most conversions happen). These bid adjustments ensure your ad spend goes to the highest-opportunity clicks.

Automated Bidding (when appropriate)

As data accumulates, we may test Google's automated bidding strategies which use machine learning to optimize in real-time. For instance, Maximize Conversions will try to get as many leads as possible within your budget, and Target CPA will aim for a specific cost per acquisition (lead). We only implement these if/when it makes sense – typically after we have a baseline of conversion data. Even with automation, we keep a close eye to make sure the algorithm's choices align with your goals (and we'll step in if something seems off).

Budget Pacing

We set a daily budget that aligns with your monthly ad spend target. Throughout the month, we monitor to ensure you're on track. If you're consistently hitting the daily budget early in the day and still missing out on search impressions, that tells us there's more demand than budget – we'll discuss whether it's worth increasing ad spend for more leads. On the other hand, if we see money left on the table or low activity, we might lower bids or reallocate budget to other campaigns to ensure nothing is wasted.

Cost Per Lead Focus

At the end of the day, the metric that matters most is cost per conversion (lead). We track how much you spend on Google Ads to get a phone call or form fill. This helps us determine if the campaign is profitable and what adjustments to make. For example, if it costs $100 on average to get a consultation request for a service that brings you $5,000 in revenue, that's fantastic ROI. But if a certain type of case is costing $300 per lead and those leads rarely turn into clients, we need to revisit the strategy (perhaps target different keywords or adjust the ad/landing page to convert better). We will regularly share these insights with you in simple terms.

Our proactive bidding and budget management means you won't get any surprise bills from Google, and every dollar of ad spend is optimized. We've managed law firm campaigns ranging from a few hundred dollars a month in ad spend to $50k+ per month, and in each case, the principles remain the same: constant attention, smart adjustments, and aligning the spend with your business goals.

Conversion Tracking & Analytics Transparency

We believe in full transparency when it comes to results. That's why we set up robust tracking and provide clear analytics from the start. If you're investing in Google Ads, you deserve to know exactly what you're getting out of it. Here's how we make that happen:

Conversion Tracking Setup

As mentioned in the setup steps, we track every meaningful action. This includes phone calls (we can use call tracking numbers or Google's forwarding numbers to attribute calls to ads), contact form submissions, chat inquiries, and even downloads (if you offer, say, a free eBook on "How to choose a lawyer"). Each of these actions is recorded in your Google Ads account so we can see which keyword and ad led to it. You'll be able to see these conversion numbers, too.

Google Analytics Integration

We often link Google Ads with Google Analytics for deeper insights. This helps us analyze post-click behavior: for example, how long do ad visitors stay on your site? Which pages do they visit? If we notice people clicking an ad then leaving the landing page immediately (high bounce rate), it could indicate a mismatch or something that needs improvement on the page. Analytics data, combined with ad data, gives a fuller picture of campaign performance.

Regular Performance Reports

You will receive easy-to-understand reports, typically on a monthly basis (or even weekly during the ramp-up phase if you prefer). We avoid overwhelming you with raw data. Instead, our reports highlight the key metrics and insights.

Dashboard Access

Some clients like to see live data. We can provide access to a real-time dashboard or even the Google Ads account (in read-only mode if preferred) so you can check in anytime. We're completely transparent—your Google Ads account is ultimately yours, and we want you to feel comfortable with how it's managed.

Tracking Beyond the Click

For those interested, we can help set up tracking that goes further down the funnel. For instance, if you have a CRM where you track consultations to actual retained clients, we can work with you to tag which leads became clients. This can enable calculations of true ROI (e.g., you spent $2,000 on ads, got 20 leads, and 5 became clients bringing in $50,000 in fees; that's a huge ROI!). This level of tracking can also feed data back into Google Ads (through offline conversion imports) to make the system even smarter in targeting high-quality leads. It's a bit advanced, but it shows how far we're willing to go to optimize your marketing efforts.

Continuous Learning

We don't just collect data—we act on it. Analytics might reveal, for example, that a certain search query not on our keyword list is popping up and leading to conversions. We'll add it as a new keyword. Or analytics might show most form submissions happen on a specific landing page section, so we'll try to replicate that element elsewhere. We treat data as feedback to constantly improve your campaigns (more on this in the next section).

By tracking everything and sharing the results with you, we ensure that you see the value of your PPC investment. There's no "just trust us, it's working" – we show you the numbers, and the numbers will speak for themselves.

Ongoing Optimization & Campaign Management

One thing we always tell our clients: Google Ads is not a "set it and forget it" marketing channel. Running successful Google Ads campaigns requires ongoing attention and optimization. Think of it like tending a garden – you have to water, prune, and occasionally pull weeds to keep it thriving. Here's what our ongoing management entails for your law firm's campaigns:

Regular Performance Reviews

We continuously analyze how your ads and keywords are performing. On a weekly basis, we look at key metrics and ask questions: Which keywords got conversions? Are there new search terms people used to find you? Did any ads underperform this week? This routine check helps us catch issues early and spot opportunities.

Search Term Refinement

Google will sometimes show your ads for queries that are related to your keywords, including ones we might not have anticipated. We review the actual search terms that triggered your ads. If we find irrelevant terms, we add them to your negative keyword list to prevent wasteful clicks. For example, if we see your ad for "divorce lawyer" showed on a search for "divorce lawyer jobs" – clearly not a client – we'll block "jobs" searches. On the flip side, if we spot a valuable term that we didn't explicitly bid on, we'll add it as a new keyword or create ad groups around it.

Ad Testing & Refinement

At any given time, we run a few versions of your ads (as mentioned earlier) to see which messaging works best. Over time, we drop the lower performers and introduce new variations to try to beat the champion. Maybe we test a new headline highlighting a different value proposition, or try a new call-to-action. Continuous A/B testing squeezes more leads out of your budget by improving click-through and conversion rates incrementally.

Bid and Budget Adjustments

Markets change and so do competitive dynamics. If a new firm in town starts advertising heavily, we might need to adjust bids to maintain your ad rank. Or if we've improved Quality Score (through better ads and landing pages), you might be able to get the same traffic while bidding less. We adjust bids as needed to stay competitive and cost-efficient. We'll also reallocate budget between campaigns if we see one type of service is yielding a better ROI than another. For example, if your family law campaign is hitting all its goals and your criminal defense campaign is slower, we might shift more budget to family law (with your approval) to capitalize on the success.

Landing Page Updates

Optimization isn't limited to the ads themselves. If data shows that certain landing pages aren't converting well, we dig in to find out why. Maybe we test a new headline or add a stronger testimonial. Perhaps we realize mobile users have trouble with a form, and we simplify it. We treat landing pages as living parts of the campaign and continue to refine them for better results.

Keeping Up with Google

Google Ads is a platform that evolves. New features come out, interfaces change, and policies update. As part of our service, we stay ahead of these changes. If Google introduces a new ad extension or campaign type that could benefit you, we'll let you know and incorporate it. (For instance, Google's introduction of Responsive Search Ads – we adapt by providing multiple headlines and descriptions for even better performance.) If policies shift (say, new verification required for certain legal ads), we handle the legwork to keep your campaigns running smoothly.

Monthly Strategy Check-Ins

Besides the reports, we like to have periodic check-in meetings (monthly or quarterly) to discuss the bigger picture. In these meetings, we review campaign performance, discuss any new services you want to promote, seasonal considerations (e.g., maybe you get more DUI cases around holidays – we can plan for that), and ensure the campaign strategy aligns with your current business goals. It's also a chance for you to give feedback and for us to propose new ideas.

Scaling Up Success

When you start seeing good returns from Google Ads, you might decide to reinvest and scale up. We're ready to help you scale – whether that means increasing the ad spend, expanding to new geographies (perhaps opening a second office in another city and advertising there), or advertising additional practice areas. We'll apply the same careful approach to any expansion, so you grow in a controlled, profitable manner rather than just throwing money and hoping for the best.

Our hands-on management means your campaigns aren't just left on autopilot. We are constantly working in the background to improve results, and you'll feel the momentum month after month. Many of our law firm clients see their cost per lead decrease and number of leads increase over the first 3-6 months as we fine-tune all the elements of the Google Ads campaign. It's an ongoing partnership, and we're committed to your success for the long haul.

Ready to Grow Your Firm with Google Ads?
