Carter Booth LLP entered the digital advertising space with a completely clean slate. The firm had no active Google Ads presence, meaning there was no historical data, no “winning” keyword lists, and no established conversion tracking to build upon.

In the high-stakes arena of family law, where cost-per-click can be punishing, starting from scratch requires surgical precision. We had to enter a crowded market and find a way to outperform established competitors without the benefit of a “test-and-learn” period.

We moved away from a “one-size-fits-all” legal marketing approach, opting instead for a highly granular, intent-based strategy.

• Segmented Intent Architecture: Family law is not a monolith. We identified that a person searching for “divorce lawyer” has different needs than someone searching for “child custody mediation.” We built out distinct campaigns, ad sets, and landing pages for each specific service sub-sector to ensure the user’s journey was perfectly mirrored from search to click.
• Competitor Intelligence: We conducted an intensive audit of the local landscape, analyzing competitor ad copy and landing page offers. This allowed us to identify “white space” in the market—messaging gaps where Carter Booth LLP could stand out as the superior choice.
• Bespoke Conversion Funnels: We designed high-performance landing pages for every service line. By removing the distractions of a full firm website and focusing on the user’s specific problem, we maximized the conversion rate of every paid click.

The launch didn’t just meet industry benchmarks—it shattered them, delivering one of the most successful two-month ramp-ups in the firm’s history.

• Immediate Profitability: In the very first month, the campaign delivered a 1,400% ROI.
• Compounded Success: By the end of month two, the cumulative Return on Investment climbed to a staggering 2,270%.
• High-Value Case Acquisition: The campaign generated $100,000 in signed cases from a total marketing expense of only $4,405.67 (a figure that transparently includes both ad spend and professional management fees).
• Sustainable Growth: By building the account correctly from day one, we established a scalable foundation that continues to turn modest ad spend into significant firm revenue.
