The most expensive clicks in law, and the widest gap between firms

Seven of the ten most expensive legal searches are injury searches, and a truck accident click costs $256. At those prices, the website and intake decide what a case costs far more than the ad account does.

$15,035

per signed case for a typical firm at the $112.76 national average click: 5% of clicks become leads, 15% of leads sign.

$4,510

per signed case for a tight firm buying the same clicks: 10% of clicks become leads, 25% of leads sign.

$189.51

per click for “car accident lawyer near me”, 43% more than the same search without “near me”.

What we run for injury firms

Every channel that produces a signed case, under one team

Google Ads and Local Service Ads, by case type

Separate campaigns for auto, trucking, motorcycle, premises, and wrongful death, each landing on its own page. Run by a senior media buyer and optimized to signed cases, not clicks.

PPC for law firms

Case-type pages that rank

Practice-area pages for the injuries where the click is expensive and ranking is realistic, with FAQ schema so AI search can cite you. One page that ranks can replace thousands a month in spend.

Law firm SEO

The path to intake

Click-to-call and online booking above the fold, reviews beside every button, a form a phone can finish in thirty seconds, and a reply in minutes. This is where cost per case is won or lost.

Law firm web design

Video and social that make you known

Attorney films and short-form social in the playbook that took Simon Law Group from 2,145 to 23,400 Instagram followers and one post past 2.7 million views.

Video production

Reviews and the map pack

"Personal injury lawyer near me" gets 90,500 searches a month and is answered by the map first. Your Google Business Profile, review count, and review velocity decide who gets the call.

Local SEO

Earned media and brand

On-camera segments and coverage that make the firm feel like the obvious choice before the accident ever happens, and lift the share of leads who sign.

Public relations

Trucking, medical malpractice, catastrophic injury

High-value case types need a different playbook

Trucking

The most expensive click in law at $256, on 165,000 searches a month. Profit comes from dedicated trucking landing pages, round-the-clock intake, and Local Service Ads, because a slow answer on a $256 click is the costliest mistake in legal marketing.

Medical malpractice

“Medical malpractice lawyer” draws 550,000 searches a month at $9.60 a click, because most people searching are researching, not hiring. The work is authority content that answers their questions, screening that separates viable claims early, and referral relationships with other firms.

Wrongful death and catastrophic injury

$142 a click with organic difficulty of 27, so a careful, compassionate page can rank. Families choose on trust: attorney video, verdicts presented with restraint, and a real person on the phone.

Questions injury firms ask us

Personal injury marketing, answered

It runs the channels that produce signed injury cases: Google Ads and Local Service Ads by case type, practice-area pages that rank, the Google Business Profile and reviews that win the map pack, video and social that make the firm recognizable, and the landing pages and booking path that turn clicks into consultations. Outlier runs all of it for personal injury firms and reports on signed cases, not clicks.

Firms we work with typically invest 8% to 12% of revenue while growing, and 12% to 20% when competing on brand in a large market. The number matters less than cost per signed case: at the national average injury click of $112.76, a firm converting 5% of clicks and signing 15% of leads pays about $15,000 per case, while one converting 10% and signing 25% pays about $4,500.

Usually both, weighted by market. Paid search and Local Service Ads produce cases in weeks. SEO takes months but is the cheaper long-term channel for case types where the click is expensive and ranking is realistic: motorcycle accidents, wrongful death, slip and fall, and dog bites all cost over $139 per click with organic difficulty of 29 or lower.

For Mirador Law, a three-office Bay Area injury firm, conversions doubled in one month (8 to 16) and cost per conversion fell from $1,401 to $765. For Simon Law Group in Los Angeles, Instagram grew from 2,145 to 23,400 followers and one post passed 2.7 million views. For Altair Law, a trial firm, Instagram grew 16,250% in three years.

Yes, with a different playbook. Truck accident clicks are the most expensive in law at $256, so landing-page conversion and intake speed decide profitability. Medical malpractice is the reverse: "medical malpractice lawyer" draws 550,000 searches a month at under $10 a click because most searchers are researching, not hiring, so the work is authority content, careful screening, and referral relationships.

Paid search and Local Service Ads typically produce qualified leads in the first few weeks. Organic rankings for case-type pages build over three to six months and then compound. We report weekly on leads and monthly on signed cases and cost per case.

A monthly retainer, scaled to scope and channel mix, in annual partnerships. Ad spend is paid directly to Google and other platforms. You always know what you are paying for and what it is producing.
