How Google Ads, Local Services Ads and Facebook ads work together for immigration lawyers

Immigration clients research for a long time, often from outside Canada. Google Search captures people ready to hire for specific cases, Facebook and YouTube build trust with explainers in the languages your team speaks, and Local Services Ads add verified leads where available.

Google Search ads

Case-type campaigns for refusals, appeals, permits and sponsorship, split by country and language.

Local Services Ads

Legal categories, including immigration law, are available for LSA in some Canadian markets.

Facebook & Instagram ads

Explainer videos, language-targeted ads and retargeting of people who read case pages.

Everything else

YouTube explainers and webinars about current programs and policy changes.

Marketing for immigration lawyers

Planning marketing for an immigration practice

Immigration clients often research extensively and ask their community for recommendations. Google Search captures urgent and specific needs, Meta builds trust within language communities, and reviews and referrals shape the final choice.

Policy changes can suddenly change demand for particular programs, so campaigns need to be adjusted quickly when rules change.

Community trust

Meta and referrals within communities.

Urgent search

Google captures refusals and deadlines.

Policy-driven changes

Campaigns adjusted when rules change.

Budget

How to split a immigration law marketing budget

Our suggested starting point for immigration lawyers. After the first month, budget moves to whichever channel produces the cheapest booked jobs.

  • Google Search ads 60%

    Case-type campaigns for refusals, appeals, permits and sponsorship, split by country and language.

  • Local Services Ads 10%

    Legal categories, including immigration law, are available for LSA in some Canadian markets.

  • Facebook & Instagram 30%

    Explainer videos, language-targeted ads and retargeting of people who read case pages.

Suggested starting split, adjusted monthly once real cost-per-lead data comes in.

Tracking

What we track for immigration lawyers

The same lead actions are tracked across Google Ads, Local Services Ads and Meta, so no channel gets credit for another’s work.
