Are Those Calls Becoming Cases?
People who need a lawyer don't shop for weeks. After an accident, an arrest or a divorce filing, they search, check reviews, maybe ask ChatGPT, and call the first firm that looks right. If your firm isn't visible in that moment, or the call goes to voicemail, the case goes to the firm down the street.
Win the Gut Check
Reviews, attorney bios and a fast, credible site that earn the call over the firm next door.
Stop Losing Calls
Intake checks, after-hours call handling and simple forms so no case goes to voicemail.

What most agencies report

Law Firm Marketing:
What Every Managing Partner Should Know
How legal clients choose a lawyer today, and what it takes to be the firm they call.
What is law firm marketing?
Law firm marketing is everything that gets a person with a legal problem to find your firm, trust it and call. Today that's mostly digital: Google search and the map pack, paid ads, your website, reviews, social media and AI tools like ChatGPT. Legal marketing is harder than most industries. Clicks can cost several hundred dollars in competitive markets, clients decide under stress, and bar rules limit what you can say. A plan built for a plumber won't work for a law firm.
Where clients look for a lawyer
| Placement | Where it shows | What it takes |
|---|---|---|
| Local Services Ads | Top of Google, with a "Google Verified" badge | Background checks, reviews, pay per lead |
| Search ads | Above and below the map | Tight keywords, negatives, bids by case value |
| Map pack | Three firms on a map | Google Business Profile, reviews, local signals |
| Organic results | Below the map | Practice area pages, authority, technical SEO |
| AI answers | AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity | Reviews, directory profiles, mentions, clear content |
A firm that only shows up in one of these leaves cases for the others. We plan for all five.
Law firm marketing and AI search
More people now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google's AI Overviews "who's the best car accident lawyer near me?" These tools recommend a few firms, pulled from review sites, legal directories like Avvo, Justia and FindLaw, local news and forums like Reddit. The firms that get named have strong reviews and are mentioned often in the right places. We build that footprint and track the calls it brings in.

ChatGPTReddit and forums, directories, news mentions
PerplexityCited web pages, legal directories, review sites
Intake is part of marketing
If you don't sign a client on the first contact, the next firm will. We look at intake as part of the marketing plan:
- Calls answered live, day and night, or routed to an answering service
- Short forms (name, phone, what happened) and click-to-call on mobile
- Live chat or text for people who can't talk on the phone
- Fast follow-up on every form, ideally within five minutes
- Call recordings and tracking so we can see which calls were missed
How our process works
- Market audit. We review your visibility, competitors, ad spend and where cases come from today.
- Pick your cases. We set the practice areas, case types and cities you want more of, and what each case is worth.
- Tracking setup. Call tracking, form tracking and intake handoff go in before launch.
- Channel plan. The mix of LSAs, search ads, SEO, local and AI search that fits your market and budget.
- Build and launch. Practice area pages, campaigns and profiles go live.
- Review intake. We listen to calls, flag missed ones and help tighten your intake process.
- Optimize. We cut what isn't signing cases and move budget to what is.
- Report and scale. Every month you see calls, signed cases and cost per case by channel.
Signs your marketing is underperforming
- You spend thousands on ads but can't say how many cases they produced
- You rank organically but don't show up in the map pack
- Competitors show up in Local Services Ads and you don't
- Your site gets traffic but few calls
- You only run search, so no one knows your name until they're already looking
- Your agency reports clicks and rankings, never cases
Every one of these can be fixed.
What to look for in a law firm marketing agency
- Legal experience. Ask for results they've earned for firms in your practice area.
- Case-level reporting. You should see cost per signed case, not just cost per click.
- Your accounts, your data. Ad accounts, tracking and your website belong to you.
- More than one channel. An agency that only sells SEO or only sells ads will say that's the answer.
- An AI search plan. Ask how they'll get your firm recommended in ChatGPT and AI Overviews.
- No lock-in. A good agency keeps you with results, not contracts.
