PPC Ads Now Vital For The Legal Industry

Times have changed in the way law firms reach clients and the change seems to be happening faster over time. Law firms need a diverse marketing strategy that includes pay-per-click advertising to compete in today’s search marketing landscape. If your law firm isn’t running any paid advertising, you’re missing out on a huge percentage of the market.

Studies show Google Ads get 65% of clicks on average for buying search terms. This means that, for terms Google knows people are searching to hire your services right away, roughly 2 out of 3 times the searcher is clicking on an ad before getting to organic results.

Even with the best Search Engine Optimization in the world, you’ll still only be vying for about ⅓ of the market. More and more organic search is becoming a great way to educate clients and less about generating new business. As a business owner with limited resources, it is imperative to invest your marketing dollars in the most fruitful strategies.

We understand this and have been helping law firms generate leads and grow their practice for more than 35 years.

Only Pay When Someone Clicks

The beauty of pay-per-click ads is that you only pay for people who click on your ads. Unlike other advertising mediums like TV & Radio where your advertising rates are a flat fee, with PPC you’ll only spend money when potential clients reach your website or call your law firm (depending on your search marketing strategy).

Although this is quite possibly the most fair & transparent way to advertise, that doesn’t mean it’s easy. Many law firms and businesses that try to run ads themselves end up blowing large sums of money with absolutely nothing to show for it.

It’s actually quite easy to spend a bunch of money without getting any results if you don’t have the skills, knowledge or background to manage campaigns effectively. There are too many factors to leave it to chance.

You need to partner with a company who lives and breathes online marketing so you can spend time doing what you do best, practicing law.

Keyword Optimization Based On Intent & Conversions

Our pay-per-click strategy always consists of identifying high-intent keywords. There are a few types of keywords and 3 keyword match types to work with. Long-tail keywords tend to be more educational focused and convert at a much lower rate. However, keywords that are exact and to the point tend to convert at a higher rate, but they typically have more competition and a higher cost.

Balancing these variations and keeping them inline with your business goals is what we do best. We will diversify our approach and live in the data, but we will put the bulk of our attention on high-intent keywords known to convert leads into clients.

Our methodology includes constant monitoring of keyword performance, quality scores, search terms and negative keywords.

Device Strategy That Makes Sense For Your Law Firm

Our PPC strategy includes optimization per device: mobile phones, desktop computers and tablets. Each device needs a unique approach. We also pay close attention to which devices are leading to not only the best cost per conversion but that those conversions are quality.

Mobile devices have become critical to be mindful of in search strategy over the past few years. This is true not only because most people are searching the internet from a mobile device, but that device is capable of making phone calls. Furthermore, a search from a mobile device typically has a higher intent when it comes to local businesses.

On the other hand certain age groups and demographics are utilizing different types of devices in different ways. Therefore, we rely on reporting metrics and machine learning to determine the best device strategy for your law firm.
