Who it's for
Personal injury, probate, estate planning, family and criminal defense firms running Google Ads, or about to, who care more about signed cases than lead counts.
Three takeaways
Weight budget toward ready-to-call searches
Someone searching "what is probate" is researching; someone searching "probate attorney near me" is ready to call. The playbook puts most of the budget on the second group.
Target only where you are licensed
Every click from outside the area you can serve is wasted. Combine radius targeting around the office with city-level targeting, and exclude places inside the radius you do not cover.
Measure cases, not leads
Most legal enquiries arrive by phone, so call tracking and a few qualifying questions on the form show which keywords bring cases you would actually take.
Stop paying for bad clicks. Discover how probate, injury, and estate law firms use targeted PPC to attract qualified leads and stay compliant with Google's ad policies.
