Arrests happen at night and on weekends. Call-only and call-focused ads, scheduled to match when your phones are answered, make it easy for a worried family member to reach you right away.
Charge-specific campaigns
DUI, drug charges, assault and white-collar matters each get their own keywords and ads, so a person searching for a DUI lawyer sees a DUI-focused message.
Courthouse-area targeting
We target the counties and courts where you practice and exclude areas you don’t serve, so every call is a potential client you can actually represent.

Frequently asked questions
Can you run ads at night?
Yes, if you or an answering service can take calls.

Yes. Each charge type can have its own campaign.
Do you require a long-term contract?
No. Paid ads (Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, paid social and ChatGPT Ads) are month to month with no long-term contracts. SEO has a 3-month minimum because organic results take time to build.
