More client inquiries via your law firm website

Their law firm does good work and has a good reputation. But today, new clients rarely decide on recommendations alone: they search on Google for a solution to their specific legal problem – and hire the law firm that first convinces them there.

Search engine advertising (SEA) takes you straight to this position. Unlike search engine optimization, you don’t have to wait months for rankings: your ads are visible the day they are launched, restricted to your local area and tailored thematically to your legal fields – whether traffic law, employment law, family law or inheritance law.

However, the legal market is one of the most expensive advertising environments on Google. Misplaced campaigns can quickly burn through significant budgets. That is precisely why specialized support is worth it; one that keeps an eye on click prices, search intent, and legal advertising rights – as a Google Partner and Microsoft Advertising Professional, I can handle this for you.

Google Ads campaign management for a law firm

My Google Ads performance for lawyers and law firms

From the first keyword research to the monthly report – campaigns on Google Ads and Microsoft Advertising (Bing) all in one place:

Building block 1 · The foundation

Campaign setup & keyword strategy

I analyze search volume and click prices for your legal fields, we jointly define budget and goals, and I structure the campaigns so that every euro goes towards mandate-relevant searches – not for informational research.

Module 2 · Continuous operation

Ongoing campaign management

I continuously review your campaigns, pause on expensive keywords without requests, test ad text against each other, and optimize at the cost per client request instead of at the cost per click.

Building Block 3 · Precision

Regional targeting

Your ads appear only where your clients are located: limited to a city, radius, or state, targeted by legal area, device, and time. This way, you avoid wasted clicks across the country.

Building block 4 · Transparency

Conversion Tracking & Reporting

I set up clean conversion tracking for calls and form requests. You receive a clear report every month: what did the campaign cost, how many requests came in, and what does a request cost you.

This is how your campaign starts

From the initial consultation to the continuously optimized campaign – a clear roadmap without surprises:

Day 1

Free initial consultation

We discuss your legal areas, your region, and your goals. I will honestly tell you whether and with what budget Google Ads is worth for your law firm.

Week 1

Keyword & Click Price Analysis

I provide the realistic click prices and search volume for your jurisdictions and region – so that your budget is based on a reliable foundation, not on estimates.

Week 1–2

Campaign development & tracking

Campaign structure, ad text within the framework of legal advertising rights, regional targeting, and conversion tracking for calls and forms – then the campaign goes live.

From week 2

Collecting and refining data

The first few weeks show which search terms lead to real inquiries. I refine bids, keywords, and ad text based on this data – after that, the campaign works significantly more efficiently than on the first day.

Continuous support with clear reporting: costs, inquiries, costs per inquiry. Upon request, you have full access to your own Google Ads account at any time.

How much does Google Ads cost for lawyers?

With Google Ads (formerly Google AdWords), you pay according to the pay-per-click principle: costs are incurred only when someone actually clicks on your ad. The click prices are determined through an auction and depend heavily on the legal field and region – high-traffic areas cost significantly more per click than niche legal fields.

You set your own advertising budget and can adjust it at any time – there is no minimum duration with Google. My service fee is based on the scope of your campaigns and is set transparently before the start. So you know from the beginning which part of your budget goes towards clicks and what the service costs.

Analysis of a Google Ads campaign for a law firm with click and cost statistics

Google Ads and SEO: the strongest combination in office marketing

Google Ads provides immediate visibility, while search engine optimization builds lasting rankings without click costs. Law firms that combine both achieve double the search results page: with the ad above and the organic result below. This significantly increases the likelihood of clicks – and the data from your ads also shows which search terms lead to real client inquiries, making them valuable for the SEO strategy as well.

In the short term, Google Ads fills the pipeline; in the long term, organic visibility accounts for an increasing share of inquiries. I manage both channels from a single source.

Evidence rather than claims: Awards & Reviews

As a lawyer, you examine references more closely than anyone else – rightly so. Therefore, here are no self-promotional statements, but verifiable facts: Awards from ProvenExpert and the public reviews from over 290 customers on Google, ProvenExpert and Trustlocal – each one is visible.

Frequently asked questions about Google Ads for lawyers

Are lawyers allowed to advertise on Google at all?

Yes. The legal advertising law allows factual, professional-related advertising – and this includes search ads on Google. It is important that ad text is not misleading and does not contain any unacceptable promises of success. I formulate your ads in a restrained and factual manner; the final professional review is up to you as the law firm.

How quickly do the first client inquiries come in?

Ads are usually live within a few days of the campaign launch and generate visitors to your website from then on. How quickly these turn into inquiries depends on the legal field, budget, and quality of your website. The first few weeks are also used to refine search terms and bids using real data – after that, the campaign works significantly more efficiently than on the first day.

What does a click in the right area cost?

This varies greatly. Competitive legal fields in large cities cost many times as much per click as niche legal fields in smaller cities. Before launching, I determine the realistic click prices for your legal fields and region so that you can set your budget on a reliable basis – not on estimates.

Do I need a separate landing page for the ads?

In most cases: yes. An employment law-related ad should not appear on your general homepage, but on a page that specifically covers this legal area and offers clear contact information. This reduces the clickthrough rates (better quality factors) and increases the number of inquiries. As a WordPress agency, I can create such landing pages directly for you upon request.

Am I bound for the long term?

You can always adjust or pause your Google Ads budget. For my support, we agree on a short minimum duration so that the campaign can build the data base necessary for a serious optimization – everything else is discussed transparently in the initial meeting. If Google Ads is just a component of your strategy, it is also worth taking a look at the overview Office marketing.
