Google Ads for Criminal Defense Lawyers

People search for a criminal defense lawyer after an arrest, a summons in the mail or a late-night call from a family member in custody. They are scared, they are often on a phone, and they will call the first firm that looks capable and answers. Google Ads for criminal defense lawyers is about being that firm for the charges and courts you handle, without paying for searches that never become cases.

Key takeaways

  • Defense searches are urgent and costly per click, so campaigns should be split by charge and county.
  • Calls are the main conversion, which makes call tracking and intake speed as important as the ads themselves.
  • State bar advertising rules apply to ads and landing pages, and the firm reviews every line before launch.
01

What Makes Criminal Defense PPC Expensive

Clicks in criminal defense are among the priciest in local search, and much of the waste comes from searchers who will never hire private counsel. Public defender, free lawyer, mugshots, inmate lookup, court records, bail bonds and criminal justice degree searches can all slip in through broad keywords.

The other waste is mismatch. A firm that handles DUI and drug cases in two counties pays for felony searches three counties away or for federal matters it would refer out. A single general ad telling people you handle all criminal cases loses to a competitor whose ad names the exact charge.

02

Our Plan for a Defense Firm's Account

Campaigns are organized by charge: DUI and DWI, drug possession and distribution, assault and domestic violence, theft, weapons charges, sex crimes, white collar and juvenile matters, depending on what you take. Each charge gets ad copy and a landing page that explains your approach, the court process in plain terms and how to reach you right now.

Geography follows the courthouses where you practice. We target the counties you cover and often bid higher near the courthouses and jails where searches start. Ad schedules match your intake: if calls are answered around the clock, ads can run then; if not, we lower bids when nobody can pick up.

Calls are tracked with recordings so you can review lead quality, and qualified consultations are counted separately from all calls. If your intake system logs signed cases, we feed them back. Spanish-language ads are an option where your firm can serve those callers.

03

Included in Criminal Defense Google Ads Management

Here is what the work covers once campaigns are live.

  • Charge-Level Campaigns

    Search ads for each case type you handle, with budgets weighted toward your most valuable matters.

  • Negative Keyword Lists

    Blocks for public defender, records lookup, bail, jobs and other non-client searches.

  • Call Tracking and Recordings

    Every call logged, with qualified calls separated from wrong numbers and solicitors.

  • Bar Rule Review

    Drafts sent to the firm for approval against your state's attorney advertising rules.

  • Intake Feedback

    A monthly call to compare ad leads with what intake heard on the phone.

04

How Paid Search Fits the Rest of Your Firm's Marketing

Ads deliver calls quickly but stop the moment spend stops. SEO for criminal defense lawyers builds lasting visibility for charge and city searches, and website design for criminal defense lawyers makes sure your pages load fast and put the phone number up front, while criminal defense branding is about looking calm and capable. Our criminal defense marketing overview ties these together. For how we handle search accounts in general, see Google Ads management.

05

What It Costs and How Long You Are Committed

Our fee is a monthly plan beginning at $1,000 a month. You are never tied in: the plan rolls month to month and ends on 7 days' written notice. Ad spend is billed separately and goes to Google, not to us, and call tracking software is billed by its provider.

We usually run campaigns from our ad accounts, or inside the firm's account if you prefer. Landing pages, call recordings, lead data and creative belong to the firm. If you only want a second opinion on an account another agency runs, a PPC audit is quoted at a fixed price in writing.
