Law Firms

Marketing that signs cases — not just runs ads.

Law firms are our deepest vertical. We run the full growth stack — paid search, SEO, the website, and the tracking — and tie all of it back to one number: signed cases.

Most firms can't tell you which ad click became a signed case. We can — because we wire that attribution end-to-end, then optimize the whole funnel toward the cases worth signing, not the cheapest leads.

The problem

Legal clicks are brutal — guessing is expensive

Legal is one of the most competitive, highest-cost-per-click markets in advertising, so every wrong assumption costs real money. Most firms run ads to a generic site, count form fills and calls, and have no idea which of those became a signed, fee-generating case. The platforms optimize toward cheap leads because that's all the data they're fed — and the firm ends up paying premium prices for tire-kickers who never retain. We rebuild the funnel around the case, not the lead: high-intent campaigns, a site built to convert and rank, call tracking, and offline conversions fed back so Google and Meta bid toward signed cases.

The legal growth stack

Four systems, run as one — and measured to cases.

Each links to the full service. You can start with the channel that's bleeding and add the rest as the case numbers justify it.

How it works

A system, not a one-off campaign.

Audit the funnel

We map your campaigns, your site, your intake, and your tracking — and find exactly where high-intent cases are leaking out before they retain.

Rebuild around the case

High-intent campaigns, a site built to convert and rank by practice area, and negative-keyword hygiene that stops you paying for the wrong matters.

Wire click-to-case tracking

CallRail, CRM stages, and offline conversions uploaded back to Google and Meta — so the platforms learn what a signed case looks like and bid toward more of them.

Optimize to case value

We tune toward cost-per-signed-case and case value, not cheap leads — scaling the campaigns and practice areas that actually retain.

Why firms should optimize to signed cases, not leads

A lead is not a case. Two campaigns can produce the same number of form fills at the same cost, while one fills your calendar with retained matters and the other fills it with people who were never going to sign. If all you measure is leads, you can't tell them apart — and neither can Google or Meta, so they keep buying more of the cheap, low-intent traffic that looks good on a dashboard. The fix is to feed the platforms what actually happened: which lead became a consultation, which consultation became a signed case, and what that case was worth. Once that data flows back, the bidding shifts on its own toward the matters you want. That single change — measuring to signed cases instead of leads — is the difference between a legal account that drains budget and one that compounds.

Bar-compliant marketing that still converts

Legal advertising lives under bar rules that most agencies either ignore or hide behind. We build campaigns and pages that hold up to scrutiny — accurate claims, proper disclaimers, no guarantees of outcome — while still doing the job a marketing system is supposed to do: earn trust fast and make it easy to take the next step. The two aren't in tension. A page that's honest about what you can and can't promise, paired with real proof and a frictionless path to a consultation, converts a cautious legal buyer better than the hype most firms' marketing leans on. We've built this for workers' comp, personal injury, and auto, and the mechanism travels across high-intent legal verticals.

Measured to signed cases

The whole stack runs on click-to-case tracking.

Everything else — the ads, the SEO, the site — only compounds if the platforms can see which clicks became signed cases. We wire CallRail, CRM stages, and offline conversions so Google and Meta bid toward retained matters, not cheap leads. It's the piece most firms are missing.

Common questions

Good to know.

Do you understand legal marketing rules?

Yes. We work within bar advertising guidelines — accurate claims, proper disclaimers, no guarantees of outcome — and build pages and ads that hold up to scrutiny while still converting. Compliance and conversion aren't in tension when the marketing is built honestly.

Can you tie ad spend to signed cases?

That's the core of what we do: call tracking, CRM stages, and offline-conversion uploads so the platforms optimize toward retained cases, not raw leads. You see cost per signed case, not just cost per click.

What practice areas have you worked in?

Workers' comp, personal injury, and auto among them — the mechanism travels across high-intent legal verticals where a case is worth far more than a click and intent is high.

Our cost per click is insane — is paid search even worth it?

In legal, yes — but only if you measure to cases. Premium click prices are exactly why optimizing to signed-case value matters: it tells the platforms to stop buying the cheap, low-intent traffic and concentrate spend on the matters that actually retain. Without that, high CPCs do drain budget.

Can you help us rank, not just run ads?

Yes. We build city-by-practice-area pages that compound over time and the structure AI search needs to cite your firm — so you're not renting every case from Google Ads forever. Paid captures demand now; SEO lowers your blended cost per case over time.

We already have a website — do we need a new one?

Not always, but most firm sites leak the expensive traffic they're sent. We'll audit yours; if it's slow, hard to convert, or can't rank by practice area, a rebuild usually pays for itself. The Nordanyan Law rebuild took an 11-page brochure to a 100+ page engine in about a week.
