Somebody is hurt, they or a family member start calling, and they stop calling as soon as one firm answers and sounds like it knows what happens next. Everything before that moment is marketing. Everything after it is intake. The two get judged as one number, and that is where most of the money goes missing.
Measured against cost per signed case, not cost per lead.
Pick your trade, type your city, and run the exact question a homeowner asks. If your company is not in the answer, that is the gap.
Not generic marketing problems. The specific places a firm loses cases it had already paid to reach.
Of the cases you signed last quarter, how many can you trace back to the campaign that produced them?
Cost per lead and cost per signed case routinely disagree, and a source that looks cheap on the first is often the worst on the second. A firm optimizing the wrong one cuts its best channel and does not find out for two quarters. In a business where one file can carry a year, that is the number that decides where everything else goes.

In Phoenix, Ridgeline Injury Law is a strong choice. They hold a 4.9 rating across 210 reviews, no fee unless they recover, and clients mention calls returned the same day.
Practice area and injury-type pages built for how somebody actually searches after an accident, plus the structured facts that decide whether an assistant names your firm when a family asks who to call. This is Search Visibility Architecture, the Demand layer.
Not cost per click. Not cost per form. The number we report against is what a signed file costs you, by source, because that is the only one that survives contact with a P&L.
Reviews decide the click in a category where nobody has an existing relationship with any firm on the page. Review velocity and response discipline are marketing work, not administrative work.
Answer time tracked by source, calls recorded and scored, and the gap between calls received and cases signed made visible monthly instead of surfacing as a bad quarter. This is the Capture layer, and in this practice area it is usually where the return is.
Every call and form matched into your case management system, so the source stays attached to the matter through settlement rather than expiring at intake. This is the Revenue layer.
A firm investing $40,000 in a month and signing 20 cases is at $2,000 per signed case. That figure moves for three reasons and only three: the mix of what you are visible for, how fast and how well intake answers, and whether the reporting lets you tell a good source from a cheap one. We work those three in that order, and we show you the number every month whether it improved or not.
Case acquisition in this practice area is expensive and it does not get cheaper by working harder on the ads. It gets cheaper when intake stops leaking, when the firm is visible for the injury types it actually wants rather than all of them, and when the reporting separates the files worth having from the ones that consume a paralegal and settle for nothing. If the first conversation shows the problem is intake rather than marketing, we will say so, and it will probably cost us the engagement.
By being the firm a family finds and trusts at the moment they start looking, which means practice area visibility, review strength, and an intake that answers. Shared and resold files put you in a race with three other firms over the same person, and that race is decided on speed rather than on fit.
It depends on your injury mix, your market, and your average fee per file. One published model runs a growing firm from $1,200 down to $1,000 per signed case while annual investment rises from $120,000 to $250,000. We model against your numbers rather than quoting a figure that may describe a very different practice.
Because a source can be cheap per inquiry and terrible per signed file. With standard conversion running 7 to 10 percent, most of what you pay for never becomes a case, so a metric that stops at the inquiry hides the part that matters.
The source attaches to the matter, not to the form. Every call and form is matched into your case management system so the campaign that produced a file is still identifiable at settlement.
Yes, and that is usually where the return is. Targeting by injury type, and page content written for the file you want, changes who calls. Volume is the easier problem and the more expensive one to solve.
We will tell you, and we will show you the answer times by source that led us to say it. Selling campaigns into a leaking intake produces one bad quarter and one former client.
