The value of PPC advertising in Family Law Marketing Strategy is really showing itself in 2020. COVID has forced everyone online more and, unfortunately, we are becoming more isolated from the outside world. This makes it hard for traditional media to be effective, and makes digital methods even more effective than usual. I have clients generating 80+% of their cases from this family law marketing strategy. Today I’m going to walk through a Google Ads strategy I’m currently using for a divorce & family law client that allows them to get 45+ high quality leads each month from PPC alone. This client had a very strong September and ended with well over 100 quality leads for the month when accounting for PPC & SEO.
Overview
Firm size: 1 lawyer with 4 paralegals
Location: Metro area in Florida
PPC Budget: $5,500/month
SEO Budget: $1,000/month
Targets: Men who need a divorce/family lawyer, Higher-Income males
Strategy: Paid Search ads on Google targeting certain low-funnel searches. Utilize gender-specific ads, landing pages & campaign targeting.
Key Aspects to the Success of this Strategy
- Gender segmented campaigns
- We segment our campaigns by gender for family law firms to drive maximum value. Men only see ads & landing pages that are tailored to them. For example, a divorce for men landing page will have a headline of “Divorce Lawyer for Men.”
- Proper landing pages for mobile
- Landing page design and performance is critical when you are spending money on each click. We must convert the traffic, or it’s worthless. Mobile landing pages must load in 3 seconds or less and influence calls/forms.
- Income targeting
- Family law leads can have a reputation for being low quality because many may be unable to afford your services. We only target the upper 50% of income earners to increase the likelihood that a lead can pay a $2,000-$4,000+ retainer.
- Lead reception
- Our best clients are willing to improve their lead reception process. The first time someone calls your firm they need to be met with a person on the other line who can schedule a call. It’s not the best idea to answer your own calls from an outside perspective, and can actually make you look small. We recommend a call answering service for solo attorneys because it’s affordable and makes your firm seem larger to a prospect.
