If your boutique law firm is spending thousands of dollars for Google PPC ad campaigns – chances are you’re no longer getting what you thought you were paying for.

In February Google removed the entire right side column of PPC advertisements, instantly wiping out a large portion of marketing real estate. And what happens when supply goes down and demand goes up? PRICES GO THROUGH THE ROOF! AND GOOGLE KNOWS IT.

A recent study uncovered that of Google’s top 100 most expensive PPC keywords, 67 are law firm related! And even worse, the top 10 law firm keywords average $540.00 per click. PER CLICK! That’s not a client or even a call. That’s just a click to your website! Are you really willing to spend thousands of dollars a month so that a couple people can view your website?
 

Quality Focused Boutique Law Firms are Getting Pushed Out by Big Advertisers

For years Google was a great way to advertise your law firm and get new clients. The work required to show up in organic search returns and PPC campaigns was a good investment. But today, Google relies on a bidding system that pits big advertising law firms against small- and medium-sized boutique firms, making it impossible for quality focused attorneys to compete online. What’s worse is that Google now allows national lawyer directories to take up 50% of the space local law firms used to occupy in the search returns (more on that in another article).

Unfortunately, Google’s recent PPC ad space reduction isn’t about making Google a better place for consumers. It’s about making Google more money. And they certainly will, as competition gets even fiercer. If you’re a quality focused firm with a reasonable marketing budget – GOOGLE PPC IS DEAD – it’s no longer an option for driving a predicable number of clients to your law firm.
