A winning law firm PPC strategy concentrates budget on the highest-intent case types and locations, separates campaigns by case type, blocks irrelevant searches with negatives, tracks calls and forms through to signed cases, and feeds signed-case data back to the ad platform so bidding optimizes toward cases, not clicks.
Allocate budget by case value and intake capacity
Rank case types by average fee and sign rate. Fund the top one or two fully before spreading budget thinner.
Campaign structure
Negative keywords
Exclude job seekers, law students, “free forms,” “how to become,” and other irrelevant intents.
Tracking
Bidding
Begin conservatively, gather conversion data, then use automated bidding toward cost per signed case.
Ongoing management
Weekly search-term reviews, monthly budget shifts toward what signs, and regular landing page tests.
