Google Ads for criminal defense lawyers: be answered first when someone needs a lawyer now.
Defense calls are immediate and high stakes. We run round-the-clock call campaigns and measure answered, qualified calls.
Why most criminal defense firm ad accounts leak money.
Clicks are expensive. When campaigns mix urgent searches with research searches, bid on broad keywords and send every click to a generic page, budget disappears into people who will never call.
- Broad keywordsPaying for research and job-seeker searches that never become criminal defense firm customers.
- No call trackingIf you cannot see which keyword produced the call, you cannot cut the waste.
- Generic adsAds that ignore your hours, service area and the real reason the customer is searching.
Campaigns for criminal defense lawyers, structured around intent.
We separate searches by how ready the customer is to hire, then bid, write and track each tier differently.
