Attorney PPC Is a Different Game

Legal pay per click advertising has the highest CPCs on Google. A generalist agency will burn through your budget. You need a team that understands the legal landscape.

Legal Keyword Expertise

Attorney keywords cost $50-$500+ per click. We know which terms convert to signed retainers and which are just expensive window shopping.

Avg. legal CPC: $150+ vs $2-5 in other industries

Case Value Optimization

Not all cases are equal. We structure campaigns to prioritize high-value case types and filter out time-wasters before they reach your intake team.

What Happens When Attorneys Stop Wasting Ad Spend

Most law firms we audit are wasting 40-60% of their Google Ads budget on irrelevant clicks, broad match keywords, and poor landing pages. Pay per click advertising for attorneys requires precision — not just budget.

We fix the fundamentals first, then scale what's working. The result: more consultations, more signed retainers, and a predictable pipeline of cases every month.

Criminal Defense

+52% More Client Inquiries While Staying Within CPA Target

The Problem

A criminal defense firm was limping along with just two search campaigns and a 0.83x ROAS. Their previous agency hadn't expanded beyond basic keyword targeting in over a year.

What We Did

Diversified their strategy with Performance Max, competitor targeting, call-only ads, and brand protection. Restructured keywords around case-type intent rather than generic legal terms.

The Outcome

504 additional client inquiries. CPA stayed on target while volume increased 52%. ROAS improved from 0.83x to profitable.

Traffic Law

Cut Cost Per Lead by 25% and Tripled Conversions

The Problem

A regional traffic law firm had burned through $25,000+ with $91 per lead and a 1.81% conversion rate. Their account structure was a mess — broad match keywords with no negatives, sending traffic to a generic homepage.

What We Did

Complete account rebuild: AI-optimized broad match paired with exact match SKAGs, dynamic search ads for long-tail capture, and dedicated landing pages for each violation type.

The Outcome

Conversion rate jumped from 1.81% to 12.88%. Cost per lead dropped 25%. Total conversions up 149% — nearly triple the previous volume.

Founded by PPC Veterans Who Still Run Accounts

Bark was founded by Richard Kliskey and Jake Young — two senior Google Ads strategists with over 18 years of combined experience and hundreds of accounts managed across legal, ecommerce, and lead gen.

After years inside agencies where junior staff ran senior accounts and clients paid for overhead instead of results, we built something different.

Bark delivers high-performance Google Ads management powered by custom automation and senior-level strategy — without the inflated retainers, long contracts, or account managers who've never run a campaign.

Common Questions About PPC Advertising for Attorneys

It depends on your practice area and market. Criminal defense and personal injury keywords can cost $50-$500+ per click, while family law tends to be lower. Most attorneys we work with invest $4,000-$50,000/month. The key isn't how much you spend — it's how efficiently that budget converts to signed retainers. We help you find the right budget for your specific goals and market.
Most agencies spread themselves thin across dozens of industries. We specialize in high-CPC verticals like legal. That means we already know which keywords convert, which ad copy resonates with potential clients, and how to structure campaigns that deliver consultations — not just clicks. Plus, your account is managed by senior strategists, not juniors learning on your dime.
Not necessarily. We audit your current website and landing pages as part of onboarding. If your site converts well, we'll send traffic straight there. If there are issues, we'll recommend specific improvements. If you need dedicated landing pages built and optimized for PPC conversions, that's available as an optional add-on.
PPC is the fastest channel for generating case inquiries. Your ads can be live within 7 days of signing up. Most attorneys start receiving consultation requests within the first two weeks. From there, we optimize continuously — expect meaningful improvements in cost per lead and conversion rates within 60-90 days.
No. We work on a month-to-month basis. We keep clients because we deliver results, not because they're locked in. That said, PPC is an investment — it typically takes 2-3 months to fully optimize campaigns, so we recommend committing for at least 90 days to see the full picture.
We manage PPC campaigns for all major practice areas including criminal defense, personal injury, family law (divorce, custody), estate planning, business law, immigration, workers' compensation, real estate law, bankruptcy, and more. If people are searching Google for your type of attorney, we can build campaigns around it.

Our fees are significantly lower than traditional agencies because we've cut the overhead — no account managers, no bloated teams, no office costs passed on to you. You pay for strategy, automation, and results.

For context: Most agencies charge $1,500–$5,000/month for the same service. We charge less because our model is built on automation and senior expertise — not layers of staff and overhead.

We work differently from traditional agencies — and that's by design. Instead of billing you for weekly status calls and account manager overhead, we put that budget into what actually moves the needle: campaign optimization, automation, and results.

Here's how it works:

  • Your campaigns are managed by senior strategists using custom-built automation that monitors performance continuously — not once a week.
  • You get a transparent dashboard with real-time access to your campaign data and monthly performance reports.
  • Email support is included — you can reach us any time with questions or requests.
  • Monthly strategy calls are available as an add-on if you want regular face-to-face check-ins.

This model keeps our fees significantly lower than traditional agencies while delivering better results — because you're paying for performance, not meetings.
