The Challenge

Flat Performance on Bankruptcy Keywords

Winterbotham Parham Teeple, a bankruptcy law firm, was generating leads through Google Ads but at an unsustainable cost per conversion of $86+. Conversion volume was flat and the campaign structure lacked the optimization needed to improve efficiency in a highly competitive legal advertising market.

The Strategy

Market-Specific Campaign Restructuring

We restructured the campaigns into four focused segments: a general bankruptcy campaign, a Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 specific campaign, and a dedicated Orange County-only campaign to test geo-specific performance. Budget was reallocated toward the highest-converting markets and keywords, while underperforming segments were paused or restructured. Orange County emerged as the clear winner.

Cost Per Bankruptcy Lead

With average bankruptcy case fees ranging from $1,500 to $4,000, a $50.29 cost per lead represents a potential 30-80x return on every closed case. The Orange County campaign emerged as the standout performer, with higher conversion rates and conversion volume growth. The client reported consistent weekly call quality and expressed satisfaction with lead volume throughout the engagement.
