Google Ads for lawyers & law firms

Google Ads advertising helps you to raise your law firm’s profile among potential clients. As a Google Ads Agency, we help you to set up your search advertising campaigns and take care of the ongoing management, including optimisation.

Why search advertising?

There are few places where people disclose so much information about their needs and wants as on a search engine. If someone is looking for a divorce lawyer in New York City or a patent lawyer in London, they will say so explicitly in their search request. With search advertising, you can specifically target the users to whom you can offer the right expertise. With a well-designed website, you can convince potential clients that you offer what they want.

Search advertising can be structured according to these criteria:

  • Your legal expertise (e.g. real estate law, inheritance law, business law, etc.)
  • The geographical scope of your firm’s legal services (e.g. local, regional, national or international)
  • Certain target groups (e.g. users that search for certain information after being given a payment reminder)
  • Age/sex
  • Device (desktop/tablet/mobile)
