Miramar Law Firm PPC Advertising Agency

Argota Marketing builds Google Ads and Local Service Ads campaigns for Miramar law firms in Spanish and English at the same time, audited against Florida Bar 4-7 before launch and tracked against signed retainers on a shared dashboard. One firm per practice area. Audit before any retainer.

The audit settles two questions before any budget gets quoted. Geographic: does Miramar run as its own footprint, alongside a Miami-Dade office, or as one combined build? Economic: which practices can defend the South Florida CPC?

How we work  ·  A walkthrough, not a pitch

What a paid account does in a bilingual market.

About half of consumer legal inquiries in Miramar come in Spanish, so Spanish and English campaigns get built and launched at the same time. Both versions clear Florida Bar 4-7 review before any ads go live. Intake handles both languages from the first call. On the platform side, geo targeting starts tight around Miramar, and budget recommendations come after the audit confirms the case math.

Google Partner  ·  certified agency
Operating rules The audit happens before any spend gets recommended. Intake calls get reviewed in both languages so the firm sees who is answering well and where calls are getting lost. Geo targeting stays close to Miramar until signed cases prove it should widen.
Google Ads for law firms @jorgeargota

The Spanish side of a Miramar account is not the half that gets added when budget allows. It is the half where most of the signed matters actually originate. Building the English campaign first and the Spanish campaign second leaves cases on the table for the months in between, and no platform optimization can recover them after the fact.

Phase 01 · Capture

Keywords, geo, and LSAs.

The first step is picking which practice areas to advertise and which keywords to bid on. Most Miramar firms start with auto, immigration, and family law because those produce the steadiest matters. Spanish and English keyword lists get built at the same time. Expensive head terms wait until the account has enough signed case data to defend them.

Phase 02 · Align

Ad copy to intake criteria.

Next, the ad copy and intake scripts get written together in both languages. Ads are written so people who do not match the firm’s case profile will scroll past, and people who do will call. Auto ads name the injury type. Immigration ads name the specific matter. Family law ads separate urgent calls from research calls. Every ad clears Florida Bar 4-7 review before going live.

Phase 03 · Screen

Screen unqualified potential clients.

The third step blocks the calls the firm does not want. Filters run at the ad, on the contact form, and on the live call. The biggest filter handles matters that belong with counsel in Miami-Dade or downtown Fort Lauderdale instead of Miramar. Other filters block free legal aid searchers, price shoppers, and small claims questions.

Phase 04 · Evaluate

Calls scored, cases attributed.

Step four sets up the reporting. Every paid call ends in either a signed case or a recorded reason why not. The dashboard shows signed cases broken out by practice and by language. A campaign keeps its budget as long as the cost per signed case stays inside the range agreed on during the audit.

Phase 05 · Scale

Budget, then expansion.

The fifth step is when to add more. Nothing new gets added until the first practice is producing signed cases at a stable cost. Then the firm can add a second practice, or open campaigns in Miami-Dade alongside Miramar, with both offices reporting on the same dashboard.

Artifact  Budget reallocation memo + roadmap

Built around the practice
area, not against it.

Below is how each practice runs on a Miramar account. Auto, immigration, and family law produce the most signed cases, so they come first. Each card explains what the campaign does and how the firm sees results.

Personal injury · Auto

Auto PI built around the Broward and Miami-Dade corridor.

Auto PI gets built across I-75, Pembroke Road, and the Miami-Dade border traffic. Severe injury and wrongful death run on separate ad groups so case complexity drives the landing page, not click volume. Spanish and English launch in parallel. LSAs carry the bulk of the consumer auto volume.

Practice 01Highest signed rate
Practice 02
Immigration

Immigration work arrives in Spanish first.

Family petitions, adjustment of status, naturalization, and removal defense produce most of the retained matters. The Spanish campaign runs as the primary build with English alongside, because Spanish language search drives more of the volume here than English does. Ad copy names the matter category, not generic head terms.

Spanish primary
Practice 03
Family law

Family law sized for a family dense bilingual market.

Divorce, custody, support, and post judgment modifications make up most of the retained mix. Calls cluster on weekday evenings and weekends. Ad copy separates contested matters from research stage queries, and intake routes urgent custody on a faster path. Spanish and English run with equal weight.

Bilingual default
Practice 04
Premises liability

Premises split from the auto book.

Slip and fall, inadequate security, swimming pool incidents, and building code matters run on their own campaign instead of inside the auto book. Each case type carries different statute timing and defendant categories. Reporting tracks signed retainer rate by premises type.

Separate practice
Practice 06
Business · Commercial

Business work runs on patience, not on speed.

Contract disputes, employment matters, and formation work, with long form Search and long landing pages built for research stage readers. The campaign sits behind the consumer practices in the build order; matter values carry the slot when intake handles longer call cycles.

Long form Search
Practice 05
Criminal defense

Criminal defense built on response time.

DUI, drug possession, traffic, and domestic matters on the consumer side; federal work routed to a downtown office. Calls cluster overnight and on weekends, where intake response time decides who retains the matter. LSAs lead because Google delivers the call pre qualified.

Public fees, scaled to media spend.

Fees are public so the firm can do the math before any proposal arrives. The same formula applies whether the firm spends $3K on a single Miramar practice or $25K across Miramar and a Miami-Dade office.

Foundation
$1,000 to $1,500
Monthly minimum management fee
  • Single practice area campaign
  • Google Search and LSA setup
  • Weekly call review
  • Monthly reporting and budget memo

Best for solo attorneys focused on one practice area. In Miramar that usually means a southwest Broward firm running one anchor practice in both languages.

Volume
12 to 18%
Of $20K+ monthly ad spend
  • Strategic work outweighs build time
  • LSA vs Search reallocation cycles
  • Landing page testing on volume
  • Multi market expansion planning
  • Intake QA on full call sample

Best for firms with offices in both Broward and Miami-Dade, or one office covering both counties. At this level the work is mostly strategy and moving budget between locations, not new builds.

Same model, public fees. The fee structure is consistent for every account regardless of market. Only the media math changes with the firm’s practice mix and case values. Smaller budgets are not rejected automatically; we evaluate them against practice area economics and intake quality before approval. A one time $1,000 to $2,000 setup fee applies to new or messy accounts being rebuilt from scratch, waivable on competitive pitches. Media spend is billed by the firm directly to Google. We do not mark up ad spend or hold the credit card. The national law firm PPC framework walks through how engagements extend across practice areas and markets when a firm scales, and law firm website design cost covers what changes when the landing page side of the funnel needs work alongside the paid account.

A framework built from inside a Miami law firm.

Jorge Argota spent ten years inside Percy Martinez P.A. in Miami, starting on intake calls and ending up running the firm’s marketing. The budget grew from $500 a month to a multi metro Florida account over that decade. The Spanish-first approach comes from doing the work, not from a marketing decision. Same questions drive the work today: which ads produce signed cases, how Spanish compares to English, when LSAs beat Search, and how fast intake gets back to the caller.

09 Answers, not sales copy

Five questions Miramar firms raise on the audit call.

Straight answers, not sales scripts. Deeper math lives in supporting pieces like SEO vs PPC ROI and formatting practice area pages for AI citation.

Different question? 941 626 9198 The line rings the principal directly.

Miramar has one of the largest Spanish-speaking populations in Broward County. Most consumer calls either arrive in Spanish or shift into Spanish on the first ring. If the Spanish campaigns get built two or three months after the English ones, the firm loses those matters in the meantime. Building both at the same time, with both versions cleared by Florida Bar 4-7 before launch, is the practical fix. Reporting shows signed cases by language so the firm can see what each side actually produces.

It depends on where the firm signs its cases, not on where the office sits. Miramar shares a line with Miami-Dade, so a campaign targeting only Miramar will still pick up impressions from Aventura, Hialeah, and north Miami. Three setups are common. Run Miramar only, with everything south of the county line blocked. Run Miramar plus a Miami-Dade office, sharing one dashboard. Or run a single build across both counties and let the data decide where to spend more.

All three sit close together, but the differences matter. Spanish demand in Miramar is the heaviest of the three, so the bilingual build is non-negotiable. Immigration shows up as a real consumer practice on Miramar accounts more than it does on Hollywood ones. Pembroke Pines has the closest profile to Miramar, with the same family density and bilingual demand, but Miramar sits right on the Miami-Dade line, which makes the coordination question different. The system is the same on all three; the calibration changes.

Budgets depend on which practices the firm runs and what those cases are worth, not on a benchmark. Miramar is in the South Florida CPC range, so the realistic minimum sits higher than in mid-sized Florida markets. A single practice with the Spanish build included usually needs $3,500 to $6,000 a month to gather enough signed case data to act on. Firms running two or three practices together typically land between $8,000 and $16,000 a month. Above $18,000, the account is usually running Miramar plus a Miami-Dade office on a shared plan.

Intake on a Miramar account has to handle both languages competently from the first call. During the audit, the intake review checks who answers calls in each language, when coverage drops during the day, how scripts move between English and Spanish without losing the caller, and what happens when a caller switches languages mid-conversation. Weekly scorecards show signed case rate by language for each practice. Building a Spanish campaign that intake cannot fully support is worse than not building one, so staffing gets reviewed before any media spend gets recommended.

  Next step

The audit comes
before any proposal.

The audit covers two situations. A firm already running paid search that is not signing enough cases for what it spends. Or a firm getting ready to start and wants to know what the budget should be before committing. This page covers Miramar and southwest Broward.

  • Free Miramar PPC audit. A working session that covers the current Google Ads or LSA account, the intake process in both languages, and what each signed case is actually costing the firm right now. Florida Bar 4-7 compliance gets reviewed for every ad.
  • Honest read on the math. The audit will say directly whether the proposed budget can produce signed cases at a cost the firm can defend. If it can, the roadmap covers which keywords to bid on, where to target, what the ads should say, and how to split budget between LSAs and Search.
