Conditional fit · High case value; ethics rules · Sarasota & Manatee County

Legal Services marketing, paid on results

Intake that signs cases. Practice-area paid search, local SEO and call tracking, billed on consultations and signed matters within Florida Bar rules.

Legal clicks are among the most expensive on Google, which is exactly why cost per click is the wrong metric. A firm should know one number cold: cost per signed case. We treat legal as a conditional fit because ethics rules shape how a marketing fee can be structured; our fee is a marketing fee tied to measured outcomes, never a referral fee or a share of legal fees, and we recommend your firm review the agreement.

The engine is built around intake: practice-area campaigns with call tracking, landing pages that match the search, a 5-minute response standard, and attribution in Clio, Lawmatics or MyCase. Here is how we run Google Ads for family law so the intake handoff signs cases.

Questions legal businesses ask us

Our fee is a marketing fee tied to measured outcomes, not a referral fee or fee-sharing. We structure it to comply with Florida Bar advertising rules and recommend the firm review the agreement before launch.

Family, estate planning, personal injury and business law have strong local search intent. Criminal defense and immigration work too; fit is assessed on the call.

Each inquiry lands in your intake system with its source. When a retainer is signed, the fee applies. You review the list.
