Overview

Let's do math. I know attorneys love arguing, so argue with the numbers. The Cost of a Lead What do you spend on marketing? Let's say $10,000 per month on Google Ads for personal injury leads. You get 100 leads. That's $100 per lead. How many convert to clients? Industry average for law firms is 20-30%. Let's be generous and say 25%. That's 25 clients per month. What happened to the other 75 leads? They called and got voicemail. They filled out a form at 9 PM. They didn't get a callback fast enough. They got a generic auto-response and called someone else.

The Revenue of Those 10 Clients Personal injury: 10 cases x $50,000 average fee = $500,000 Family law: 10 cases x $5,000 average retainer = $50,000 Criminal defense: 10 cases x $5,000 average retainer = $50,000 Bankruptcy: 10 cases x $3,000 average fee = $30,000 Whatever your practice area, 10 extra clients per month is real money.
