Law firm PPC that signs retainers, not just enquiries.
A strong case is worth winning. A prospect ringing five firms to compare prices usually isn't. We run Google Ads for law firms around practice area and case type, so your budget goes after the clients you want.
Law firm PPC is paid search built around practice areas and case types, not one blended campaign. Beeyacorp runs PPC for law firms, attorneys and solicitors. Each practice area gets its own campaign. Landing pages and intake questions screen out poor-fit enquiries, and reporting follows each lead through to a signed retainer. Whether you're a solicitors' practice in the UK, a US attorney group or an Australian firm, the structure is the same.

- What we run: Google Ads by practice area, pre-qualifying landing pages and intake forms, call and form tracking
- How we measure it: Consultations and signed retainers, not clicks
- Markets: UK, US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Europe

Signs your law firm PPC is wasting budget
If several of these sound like your year, the problem isn't your expertise or your track record. It's the campaign setup and how enquiries are handled. An audit fixes that, not a bigger budget.
- Most calls are exploratory shopping, not serious prospects
- Your intake team spends hours qualifying leads that will never hire
- You have no idea which campaigns drive signed cases versus dead-end calls
- All practice areas get the same budget treatment
- Your intake form is a generic phone number, no qualification upfront
- You can't say what a client cost you to acquire
The root cause, not the symptom
Your PPC budget treats a serious injury claim and a simple-will enquiry as the same click.
Legal economics are driven by case value and matter type. A serious personal injury matter and a routine will enquiry are worth very different amounts to your firm. But most campaigns lump all practice areas together and optimize for the cheapest possible enquiry. Platforms deliver high volumes of prospects comparing five firms. Meanwhile, someone with a serious personal injury case calls your firm. They land on a generic page with no case-specific proof and no screening questions, and end up in a consultation queue full of people who aren't ready to hire. The result feels like leads don't convert, when really your intake wasn't structured to separate serious prospects from shoppers or your campaigns weren't tiered by matter value.
What another year of unqualified consultations costs
When a single case is worth tens of thousands, every high-value prospect lost to a weak intake process or poor lead screening is serious lost revenue. Chasing cheap enquiries also loads your intake team with consultations that go nowhere. Meanwhile firms that tier by practice area and pre-qualify intake quietly take the cases you're paying to attract.
Law firm PPC needs practice-area strategy, not one generic campaign
Personal injury, family law, employment, and business law aren't one market. They have different case values, acquisition costs, and buying psychology. A prospect with an injury claim behaves nothing like someone shopping for a will. Campaigns need to be split by practice area. Landing pages need to show proof for that type of case. Intake forms need to qualify by matter type before the conversation starts. Google Ads management for legal has specific compliance rules and keyword nuances. Generic legal agencies don't understand any of this, which is why they produce leads without clients.
How our law firm PPC management works
Every legal engagement opens with a diagnosis of your PPC account, practice-area mix, case values, and intake conversion. We document each finding with evidence, then fix in the order that brings signed clients fastest.
Diagnose
We audit your Google Ads account, practice-area breakdown, landing pages, and intake flow. We identify where budget goes to shopping traffic and where high-value prospects disappear without converting.
Structure
We tier campaigns by practice area with case-specific landing pages and intake forms that pre-qualify by matter type, liability indicators, and seriousness before the conversation starts.
Qualify
We build intake forms and scheduling that separate serious prospects from browsers upfront, so consultation calendars stay focused on high-probability cases.
Track
We wire consultation data to retainer tracking so you see cost per signed case by practice area and case value. That loop lets you optimize toward revenue, not raw consultation volume.
Built on how legal prospects decide
Not a template for all practice areas. A campaign architecture matched to case value, matter type, and intake qualification.
- Separate campaigns by practice area with case-value tiering
- Landing pages with case-specific success proof and matter context
- Intake forms that pre-qualify by case type, liability clarity, and seriousness
- Consultation scheduling tied to intake qualification
- Case-to-retainer tracking so cost per acquisition is clear by practice area
- Google Ads compliance and legal-specific keyword strategy
From diagnosis to a steady client enquiries
No new spend goes live until intake qualification improves consultation-to-retainer conversion. You see better case quality and acquisition cost on your current budget before we scale.
Discovery
We map your practice areas, case value by type, capacity, and current client acquisition cost so the plan targets the high-value matters.
Audit
PPC account structure, landing pages, intake flow, and consultation-to-retainer conversion reviewed. Every problem documented with ranked priorities.
Implementation
Campaign tiering by practice area, qualification-focused landing pages, intake forms, and case tracking go live.
Optimisation
We optimize toward consultation-to-retainer conversion and scale the practice areas with the best case value and acquisition efficiency.
Scaling
Once intake quality holds, the practice areas with the best case value get more budget. New keywords and locations follow after that.
Legal ads pay off when you can see which enquiries become clients.

Law firm PPC questions, answered.
It plans, builds and runs your paid search so the right people find your firm at the moment they need a lawyer. For us that means separate campaigns by practice area, and landing pages and intake forms that screen out poor-fit enquiries. It also means reporting that goes past clicks to consultations and signed retainers. It sits on top of our wider paid media management.
It depends on your practice areas, location and how competitive the market is. Personal injury and immigration auctions are far pricier than wills or conveyancing. We don't quote a generic number. The free audit benchmarks your market and case mix, then sets a budget around the cost of a qualified consultation you can afford.
Most people searching for a lawyer are comparing. They call a few firms and go with whoever answers first and sounds credible. Fast response, clear case-specific messaging and a short intake that books a consultation do more for conversion than extra clicks.
Yes. We work with solicitors in the UK, law firms and attorneys in the US, and lawyers in Australia. The wording, ad rules and search behaviour differ by country, so campaigns, landing pages and ad copy are set up for the market you serve.
Always. Family law, personal injury, criminal defence and wills each have their own intent, competition and value. Splitting them lets you set budgets, bids and messaging per matter type, and see which practice areas are producing clients.
Through the landing page and intake form. We ask a few short questions about case type, location and urgency. Serious enquiries go straight to your intake team, and poor-fit ones don't take up consultation slots. Better landing pages make this work.
Yes. We set up call and form tracking and connect it to your intake process, so you can see which campaigns produce consultations and which of those become retainers. That's the number that matters, rather than cost per click.
They do different jobs. PPC brings enquiries quickly and lets you target specific practice areas. SEO builds slower, longer-term visibility. Many firms run both, with PPC covering the high-value matters while SEO catches up.
Yes. We can take over the paid search side only, or work alongside your in-house team, SEO provider or web developer. We'll tell you straight if something outside PPC, like a slow intake process, is what's costing you clients.
We structure campaigns by practice area, so personal injury, family, immigration, criminal defence and commercial work each get their own campaigns and targets. Cost and competition differ a lot between them, which is why they should not share a budget.
Mostly the words people search and the advertising rules in each country. US searchers say attorney or lawyer, UK searchers say solicitor, and each market has its own rules for legal advertising. The campaign structure, tracking and intake approach are the same, so we adapt keywords, ad copy and compliance checks to your market.
Ask how they separate practice areas, how they screen enquiries and whether they can report on signed retainers instead of leads. Check that you will own the ad account and that there is no long lock-in contract. A good agency will also tell you plainly when a practice area is too competitive for your budget.
