What if you could get 15+ signed cases per month...

with just a $3000/mo ad spend?

That happened to my client, Tom. Tom went from barely any leads… to 15 signed cases within the first month of launching our Google Ads campaign. All that with just a $2997/mo ad spend.

Want to know why so many PPC campaigns for law firms underperform?

The messaging.

You know more than anyone…

When prospects land on your website, they’re not just looking for a lawyer.

They’re looking for someone who understands what they’re going through. Someone who will listen to them. Someone who will answer their questions and hold their hand throughout the process. 

They don’t care about the millions that you’ve gotten for other clients. Or the fact that your firm has 20 years of experience. They care about how you can help them get through the difficult situation they’re in. 

And *that’s* where 99% of law firm PPC campaigns miss the mark. 

The messaging doesn’t address the prospects’ pain points, hesitations, and motivations in the hiring process. And it doesn’t highlight the firm’s unique differentiators (the reason why prospective clients should choose YOU over competitors). 

So even if prospects fill out the form on your website, there’s a good chance they won’t pick up the phone when you call. If they do, there’s a good chance they’ll forget who you are (and how your firm is different from all the other firms they contacted). 

Or they’ll take up hours of your team’s precious time asking questions like “how does the process work?” or “what are the next steps?” 

(Questions that could be answered on your landing page.) 

What if instead…

You could bring in leads SO qualified that they felt betrayed when you didn’t take on their case?

That happened with one of my former clients (Tom). 

Tom is a civil rights lawyer who helps women who have been sexually harassed by their landlords.

 

Tom had spent $18k on a marketing agency that delivered… one lead. He had a bit more success on his own, but the leads coming in weren’t high quality.

When he hired me and my team to run his Google Ads campaign, he said that if he were to get 3-5 signed cases per month, that would be considered “crazy, wild, wonderful success.” 

Within the first month of launching the campaign, Tom had gotten 15 signed cases. With just a $2997 ad budget.

And that wasn’t a fluke. Those results continued over the course of the year that we worked together. The campaign brought in so many leads that Tom had to hire more people to keep up with the volume. He even asked to turn OFF the Google Ads because he and his team couldn’t keep up with things. 

Because these weren’t just any ol’ leads. These were highly qualified leads that were SO eager to hire Tom, they felt “betrayed” when he didn’t take on their case. All thanks to the messaging.

How do we know? 

We ran a thank-you page survey (great way to gather VOC btw) and these were some of the responses to the question “why did you choose our law firm in particular?” 

👉“Feeling understood after researching your firm online”

👉“After searching on Google the message on your homepage made me feel like I made the right choice”

👉“Thought you seemed like you would fight for me”

👉“Researched others and you explained exactly how I felt”

👉“Everything you stated in this ad is exactly what I’m dealing with 10000%”

👉“You know what I’ve been through, you might as well be describing the hell I went through and am still in…”

And you want to know the craziest thing of all? 

We didn’t have a SINGLE testimonial on that landing page. We barely even mentioned the results that my client had gotten for his other clients. 

We didn’t need to. Because the messaging resonated with prospects and made them feel like they had found a friend in my client. And that’s what mattered. 

Problem is…

99% of law firm PPC agencies see messaging as an afterthought. First they build out the campaign (without doing any voice-of-customer research). Then they design the landing page. And then they write the copy (or worse, they use ChatGPT to churn out generic, robotic-sounding copy).

The end result? 

Messaging that doesn’t resonate with the reader. And indifferent leads that would be just as happy going with a competitor. 

And now for the good news: 

There’s a (MUCH) more effective way of doing things…

How we create paid ads campaigns that get perfect-fit prospects lining up to hire you

Take a look at our 7-step process to success…

  • This is THE most important step – and one that most agencies skip. 

    My team and I will go waaay beyond surface-level data, digging DEEP to fully understand your prospect – along with their deep-seated pain points, motivations, hesitations in the hiring process. 

    This might include: 

    • Interviewing 3-5 of your clients (if possible) to extract real, voice-of-customer insights that highlight what truly matters to them

    • Mining online communities (like Reddit, Facebook, etc) where your ideal clients vent frustrations, ask for advice, and reveal buying objections

    • Analyzing your testimonials to pinpoint common themes in what clients appreciate most—and how we can amplify those strengths

    • Reviewing intake forms, surveys, and past communications with clients to understand recurring pain points, decision-making patterns, and deal-breakers 

    • Listening in on sales or support call recordings (if available) to hear prospects' objections, questions, and concerns in their own words 

    • Assessing competitor positioning to identify gaps in the market and craft messaging that sets you apart

    This deep-dive research ensures that our ad strategy and copy is built on real data—not guesswork.

  • Next, we’ll comb through all the research, pulling together any trends and sticky copy. Then, we’ll pull everything together into your very own two-part Conversion Copy Playbook. With that, you’ll get everything you need to craft high-converting copy. You’ll walk away with:  

    ✅ A complete guide to positioning your service and offer in a way that resonates deeply with your ideal clients

    ✅ A comprehensive analysis of your target audience (to ensure your messaging hits the mark)

  • Based on the VOC research, we’ll determine the most effective ad strategy and funnel for your campaign. Taking into account things like: 

    • What platform(s) will be most effective 

    • When the ads should appear

    • What keyword strategy to use (likely a mix of high-intent, long-tail, and branded keywords to target searchers at different stages of the hiring journey) 

    • The type of ad formats to prioritize (ie: text, video, carousel, or responsive ads) 

    • Targeting criteria (defining our audience based on demography, geography, and behavior) 

    • Budget allocation and bid strategy (setting the right daily budgets and bid strategies to optimize ad spend and performance) 

    Once we determine the ad strategy, then we’ll know what deliverables we need for the campaign.

    For example, maybe we’ll decide that Google is the best platform to advertise on since there are leads actively searching for your solution. Based on that, we’ll come up with landing pages that are tailored to what people are searching for. 

    Let’s say you’re a personal injury attorney. If we find that people are searching for things like “slip and fall attorney near me ” then we can create a landing page tailored to that specific audience.

  • Next I’ll take charge of crafting allllll the messaging for the funnel. Which will include: 

    • Ad copy designed to grab attention, speak to your ideal prospect’s pain points, and drive high-intent traffic 

    • Landing page copy that encourages website visitors to fill out that form/schedule a consultation 

    • Email sequence (if applicable) that builds trust, handles objections, and encourages prospects to pick up the phone when you call

    Each piece of messaging for the funnel will take into account things like: 

    Voice-of-customer research that we’ve done (so we can mirror your audience’s pain points, dream states, hesitations and motivations back to them) 

    Messaging hierarchy – Determining the most effective order of the messages on the page based on what’s most important to our reader, how they process information and where they are in the decision-making journey 

    Persuasion techniques that move reader to the “yes” (tactics like urgency/scarcity, open loop, value stacking, reliability, objection-crushing, storytelling, loss aversion and social proof… to name a few) 

    ✅ Formatting & readability – Structuring the page so that it’s easy to consume. With:

    • Short, scannable sections

    • Strategic use of bolding, bullet points, and white space

    • Conversion-focused design principles (making key takeaways pop and CTAs impossible to miss)

    Framing & positioning – Ensuring your offer is presented as THE best choice. By:

    • Clarifying your unique value proposition (UVP) so that it’s clear why prospects should pick your firm over all the others 

    • Making it crystal clear who your service is for (and who it’s not for) to attract the right clients 

    Emotional & logical balance, speaking to both the heart and the head:

    • Leading with emotional resonance to capture peoples’ attention

    • Backing it up with logical, practical reasoning to justify their decision

    CTAs & next steps – Ensuring every piece of messaging guides the reader seamlessly toward the next step with:

    • Value-driven CTAs (not just “Submit” or “Learn More”) 

    • Frictionless next steps (ie: removing any unnecessary steps, telling them what happens after they click that button etc)

  • Once the copy is complete (and approved), we’ll move onto the design. We’ll make sure that the visuals complement and enhance the messaging. So that the most critical messages stand out – and guide the reader towards taking the next step. 

  • Once everything is in place, it’s time to go live. But first, we’ll want to:  

    ✅ Set up conversion tracking  (so we know exactly what’s working and what’s not) 

    ✅ Test all integrations (make sure forms, lead tracking, and automation work seamlessly) 

    Then we’ll monitor ad performance in real-time, keeping a close eye on engagement, click-through rates, and conversions. 

  • A high-converting PPC campaign isn’t just “set it and forget it.” The real work happens after launch, where we:

    🔹 A/B test different elements – Like headlines, CTAs, ad copy, images, and landing page variations (to see what resonates best) 

    🔹 Analyze heatmaps & user behavior – We’ll get you set up with a Hotjar account so we can see how visitors interact with the page (where they drop off, where they click and where they spend the most time) 

    🔹 Refine targeting & ad spend allocation – We’ll double down on what’s working and cut off what’s not, ensuring that every dollar is well spent.

    🔹Add negative keywords – We’ll determine which keywords are bringing in the wrong prospects – and add them to our negative keywords so they don’t eat up your ad spend 

    🔹 Optimize ad copy & landing pages – Tweaking the messaging, layouts, and offers to improve conversion rates over time

    🔹 Adjust based on key performance metrics – Evaluating click-through rates (CTR), cost per conversion, lead quality, and return on ad spend (ROAS) to continuously improve results.

Wait a sec. I haven’t introduced myself yet. How rude!

Hey, I’m Mary. Founder & CEO of Thryve Legal Marketing. And Chief Ad Strategist.

Over the past few years, I’ve helped countless law firms transform their businesses with Google Ads. Ads that do more than just drive traffic—they convert prospects into signed cases. 

What sets us apart? 

We take a research-driven, conversion-focused approach. Instead of guessing what works, we dive deep into data, client psychology, and real audience insights to craft messaging that resonates and an ad strategy that converts.

 

Every word in your ads, landing page, and follow-up sequences is designed to connect with your ideal clients and compel them to take action.

Because running paid ads isn’t just about getting more clicks….

It’s about making sure those clicks turn into consultations, cases, and long-term growth for your firm.

“Mary is very deliberate, professional, and methodical in her process. That process delivered unbelievable results for us where everything else had failed.

We had used one marketing vendor and our own skills to attempt to generate a steady flow of a certain kind of lead. We were fairly unsuccessful. The vendor charged us almost $20,000 and delivered one lead. Our own efforts were more successful by far, but not consistent.

Mary is very deliberate, professional, and methodical in her process. That process delivered unbelievable results for us where everything else had failed.

Mary got us results beyond what anyone else could deliver and beyond our business's capacity to keep up; and that's just on the trial budget. We have more leads and more conversions than we'd frankly dreamed possible. I had a discussion with my partner today about expanding our hiring and taking on debt to meet the extra business.

We signed about 15 new cases in one month. A great result would have been 3. A fantastic result would have been 5. These results are on track to change our business completely.

“The initial feedback from the website is [better] than it’s ever been"

So why should you hire us over all the other law firm PPC agencies?

Good question! Here are a few reasons why you’ll love working with us:

Our research-driven approach means we can get way better results

Why?

Because it allows us to craft an ad strategy and messaging based on what we know will resonate with your target audience — rather than just guessing. Or doing what has worked with other clients.

Your ROAS is the only metric we care about

Unlike other agencies, we don’t care about vanity metrics like clicks or impressions. Heck, we don’t even care about conversions. We care about one thing and one thing only: Your ROAS.

That’s why we’ll check in with you weekly on lead quality and signed cases.

Because that’s what actually matters. More cases. More revenue. More growth.

We only take on a few select clients at a time

You won’t work with a bunch of scatterbrains who are juggling 10 projects at once. Instead, you’ll get our (almost) undivided attention on your campaign.

Plus, we’re picky about the clients we take on. We only partner with law firms if we are 99% positive we can get at least a 3X ROAS.

We’re obsessive about optimization (no, really)

Many agencies take a “set it and forget it” approach. They’ll spend a couple hours per month managing your campaign and call it a day. Not us.

We’re continually analyzing your data, running A/B tests and optimizing based on our findings. That helps us get the highest possible return. On every dollar spent.

We’re the only law firm PPC agency that specializes in conversion copywriting

We craft messaging that taps into your ideal client’s mindset, answers their unspoken objections, and motivates them to take (immediate) action.

The result?

More leads that convert into signed cases — not just form fills.

We specialize in PPC for law firms

We understand the nuances of legal advertising — and how to navigate the ultra-competitive landscape of Google Ads for law firms.

At the same time, we won’t assume that what works for one firm will work for yours too. We’ll take the time to understand your practice, unique differentiators, market and ideal clients. And then craft an ad strategy and messaging that brings in the right leads and cases.

Many firms hesitate to invest in paid ads because they don’t know if it will be as cost-effective as other client acquisition strategies (like referrals)

They might be concerned about spending money on low-quality leads that don’t convert. Or long, drawn-out investigations that drive the cost per case up. 

And those are valid concerns. But here are a few things to keep in mind: 

Unlike traditional marketing, Google Ads puts your firm in front of people actively searching for a lawyer—making them far more likely to convert

We’ll refine the targeting and messaging to attract higher-quality cases upfront, reducing the time your team has to spend on investigations – and lowering the overall cost per case.

We’ll strategically optimize the ads to filter out low-quality leads (so that every dollar is well spent).

Still got questions? Cool.

Let’s see if we can answer ‘em! 

1. Have you worked with other law firms before?

Yes! We’ve worked with a number of top-rated US law firms. So we know this industry – and how to build a winning ads campaign. 

2. How long does it take to see results? 

We can’t make any promises (any agency that does is full of it!) but most of our clients start to see results immediately. From there, it’s a matter of optimizing the campaign to ensure we’re bringing in the highest quality leads possible.

3. How often can I expect to hear from you?

We’ll send weekly updates on how the campaign is performing. We’ll also add you to our Slack channel where we’ll discuss updates to the campaign and you can ask any questions. 

Turn $10,000 into $30,000 (or more) 

According to Entrepreneur.com, the average ROI for law firms on Google Ads is 200%. 

And that’s average. Our conversion-focused approach means that we can (and likely will) achieve  *way* more than that.

So the real question is… would you spend $10,000 to make $30,000+?  

If the answer is yes, let’s talk. Tap the button below to book a 20-minute Discovery Call and we’ll show you how we can help turn $1 into $3 (or $5 or $6).
