Personal injury marketing agency
Outlier runs marketing for personal injury firms from the first click to the signed retainer: paid search and Local Service Ads by case type, pages that rank, video that makes the firm known, and an intake path that answers in minutes.
What a signed case really costs
Both firms buy the same clicks at the national average of $112.76 for "personal injury lawyer". The difference is what happens after the click.
What injured people search, and what it costs
Pick a view. Bars show monthly US searches; the meter is how hard each is to rank for. Open doors are searches a firm can realistically win organically instead of buying every click.
Seven of the ten most expensive legal searches are injury searches. The cheaper-to-rank ones are where SEO pays for itself.
Semrush US database, September 2026. “Open door” means SEO difficulty of 15 or lower out of 100.

Trucking, motorcycle, catastrophic injury
At these prices, the website and the speed of the answer decide what a case costs far more than the ad account does.
How an injured person hires a lawyer
Every one of them happens on a phone, often while the person is still hurting. Each is a place a firm wins the case or loses it to the next ad on the page.
550,000 searches a month
for "car accident lawyer". People search the accident, not the firm.

3 kinds of proof
Reviews, results presented with restraint, and the attorney on video.
24/7 intake
A person, a text back, or a booked call within minutes. A slow answer is the costliest mistake in legal marketing.
2 numbers decide cost
The share of clicks that become leads, and the share of leads that sign.
Every case type is its own search
A single "practice areas" page cannot rank for truck, motorcycle, and wrongful death at once. A firm with a strong page for each owns every one of those searches.
