Questions this episode answers

Is PPC advertising worth it for law firms?

PPC can be very expensive in the legal industry, with high cost-per-click rates. It works best for urgent needs like DWI cases. Firms should pair it with CallRail tracking, a high-converting landing page, and remarketing where allowed, rather than treating it as a standalone solution.

How can law firms collect more client reviews?

The hosts recommend a service called pro testimonial, which lets clients record a video review from their phone without downloading an app. The software adds an intro, music, and a call to action automatically, making it easier to collect positive video reviews at scale.

In their words

86 percent of study respondents said they would use Google as their resource for researching a lawyer online.
