How long before I see results from Google Ads?

You'll start getting clicks within days of launching, but it takes 4-6 weeks to gather enough data to know what's working and optimize properly. We make initial adjustments in the first two weeks based on early performance, then refine from there. If you're not seeing qualified leads by week six, something's wrong and we fix it.

What's a realistic budget for a lawyer in Jacksonville?

Plan on at least $1,000/mo in ad spend to Google, plus our management fee starting at $750/mo. Some practice areas cost more per click—personal injury can run $50-80 per click in competitive markets, while estate planning might be $15-25. We'll give you specific numbers for your practice areas before you commit.

Do I need a new website to run Google Ads?

Not necessarily, but you do need dedicated landing pages that match your ads. Sending traffic to your homepage kills conversions. We can build landing pages for your campaigns even if your main site stays the same. If your site loads slowly or looks broken on mobile, though, that'll hurt your ad performance and we'll tell you.

Can I run ads just for certain practice areas?

Yes, and you probably should. Running ads for everything dilutes your budget and makes optimization harder. Most lawyers in smaller markets get better results focusing their ad spend on 2-3 practice areas that generate the most revenue. We can always expand later once those campaigns are performing.

What happens if I pause my campaigns?

The leads stop immediately. Google Ads isn't like SEO where you build equity over time—you're paying for visibility and when you stop paying, you disappear. That said, there's no penalty for pausing. If you need to stop for a month, your campaign data stays intact and you can restart whenever you want.

Why Your Current Ads Aren't Working

You're probably bidding on "lawyer" or "attorney near me" and wondering why your cost-per-click is $47 and nobody's calling. Those broad keywords attract everyone from people writing school essays to folks just browsing. And if your location targeting is set to "Texas" instead of Jacksonville and Cherokee County, you're paying for clicks from Dallas and Houston—people who will never drive here for a consultation.

What Actually Works in Small Markets

Jacksonville isn't Tyler, and it's definitely not Dallas. The strategy that works here is different. You need tight geographic targeting—Cherokee County, not a 50-mile radius that includes half of East Texas. You need keyword specificity: "divorce attorney Jacksonville TX" converts better than "family law Texas" and costs less per click.

Your ad copy needs to answer the question someone's actually asking. If they're searching for a DWI lawyer at 2am, your ad should speak directly to that situation, not offer a paragraph about your decades of experience across twelve practice areas. And your landing page needs one goal: get them to call or fill out a form. Not read your bio, not browse your blog, not watch a video about your commitment to excellence.

We build campaigns around how people actually search when they need legal help. That means different ad groups for different practice areas, different landing pages for different search intents, and constant adjustment based on what's working. A campaign that performs well in October might need changes by December. The algorithms shift, your competitors adjust their bids, and search patterns change. Set-it-and-forget-it is just set-it-and-lose-money with extra steps.

How We Run Your Campaigns

We start by building your account structure from scratch—separate campaigns for each practice area, ad groups organized by search intent, and landing pages that match what people are looking for. If someone searches "estate planning attorney Jacksonville," they should land on a page about estate planning in Cherokee County, not your homepage with a generic contact form.

Keyword research matters more in legal than almost any other industry because the expensive keywords aren't always the valuable ones. We find the terms that actual prospects use, not the ones that sound impressive. We set up conversion tracking so you know exactly which keywords are generating calls and form submissions. And we write ad copy that passes Google's increasingly picky legal advertising policies without sounding like a compliance document.

Negative keywords are half the battle. We exclude searches that waste money—people looking for pro bono help, law students researching cases, folks just trying to understand legal concepts. Your budget goes toward people ready to hire an attorney. We monitor your campaigns weekly, adjust bids based on performance, pause underperforming ads, and test new copy. You get a monthly report that shows exactly where your money went and what it generated. No jargon, no vanity metrics like impressions, just calls and leads.

Google Ads management starts at $750/mo, which includes campaign setup, ongoing optimization, monthly reporting, and landing page updates. You also pay Google directly for your ad spend—we recommend starting around $1,000/mo minimum for lawyers in Jacksonville, but that's your budget and your call. Some practice areas cost more per click than others. Personal injury and criminal defense are expensive. Estate planning and family law are usually cheaper. We'll tell you what to expect before you spend a dollar.
