Google Ads for Personal Injury Law Firms

Google Ads for personal injury law firms concentrates a modest budget on one type of accident, such as road accidents, because these clicks are among the dearest there are.

Many injured people search days or weeks after the accident, once the insurer's first letter arrives, so the adverts are written for that letter, not for the crash.

Online challenges for personal injury law firms

Clicks on injury searches cost more than almost any others in legal advertising, and many come from people reading crash news or looking for a repair shop.

The rules of the profession also limit what an advert may promise.

Clicks are expensive, so the page must match the search

Many firms advertise for injury cases, and a click that lands on a general page is money lost.

  • A search about a road accident should open a page about road accidents, not the home page.
  • The first screen says which cases you take and how to start.

The rules of the profession limit what a firm may promise

Professional rules restrict what a firm may say about results and guarantees.

  • We describe how a case runs, how the fee works and what affects the amount of compensation, without naming sums.
  • The page then stays inside the rules and filters out people who expect a guarantee.

Calls from people who already have a lawyer

Some injured people click an advert to ask for a second opinion on a claim another firm is already handling.

  • Each such call costs as much as a new case and usually ends in a polite refusal.
  • Without a line in the advert about taking over cases, the budget keeps paying for them.

Google Ads approach for personal injury law firms

For personal injury law firms, we build Google Ads with a separate campaign for each kind of search, a weekly check of the search terms, and pages that show the same proof as the ad.

One kind of accident at a time, not the whole field

Clicks on searches about injury claims are dear, and a modest budget spread over every kind of accident buys a little of everything and enough of nothing.

  • We start with the one or two kinds of case you most want, such as road collisions or accidents at work, each in its own campaign with its own wording.
  • Kinds you decline, for instance medical negligence, are excluded by word from the first day, and the adverts show only in the region where the firm acts.

Searches that look like cases and are not

The word accident brings news readers, drivers looking for a body shop and people who want to buy insurance.

  • We exclude searches for reports of yesterday's crash, repair garages, insurance quotes, accident report forms and jobs in law firms, and go through the real search terms every week.
  • The names of other firms are left alone, since such clicks are dear and the caller usually wanted someone else.

A click this dear has to be answered

A person who taps to call and hears the line ring out phones the next firm on the list.

  • Adverts with a call button run only in the hours when someone trained picks up, and outside them the advert leads to a short form that says when a lawyer will ring back.
  • The page behind each advert names the kind of accident, the cases you take and how the fee works, in words your professional rules allow and without any sum of compensation.

Google Ads process for personal injury law firms

01

Searches worth paying for

We separate the searches that bring customers from those that only cost money.

02

Campaign build

We split the campaigns by service or offer and connect call, form and booking tracking before launch. For injury firms, we agree with the lawyers which cases they accept, so the adverts never invite claims the firm would turn down.

03

Landing pages

Each advert opens a page about what it promised, with the way to call or book in view.

04

Tuning

In the first weeks we move the budget towards the searches and adverts that bring enquiries, and switch off the rest.

Price: Google Ads for personal injury law firms costs €350 to set up and from €250 a month to manage, for ad budgets up to about €800 a month, plus VAT, three-month minimum. You pay Google directly; larger budgets are quoted.

Questions about Google Ads for personal injury law firms

Plain answers about Google Ads, written for personal injury law firms.

First enquiries after accidents can come within days of the start.

  • Tuning the account takes the first weeks, as we learn which searches bring cases you take and which bring people you must decline.
  • Whether the campaign pays is known later still, because an injury case is signed after an assessment and earns its fee only at the end.

Not everywhere at once.

  • A regional firm cannot outbid national advertisers on the broadest words and should not try.
  • It can afford one kind of accident in its own region, at the hours its phone is answered, with every wasteful search excluded.
  • If even that does not bring cases at a bearable cost, we say so and stop the campaign.

That depends on the rules of your bar, which you know better than we do, so every text is approved by a lawyer before it runs.

  • As a rule we name the kind of accident, the region and the free first assessment, if you offer one.
  • We never write sums, success rates or anything that reads as a promised result.

Which kinds of accident you want, which you refuse, and how old a case may be before it is out of time.

  • We also need to know who answers the phone at which hours, what that person asks first, and how you record which callers became clients.
  • Without that last part the account can only be steered by clicks.
