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

Personal injury is one of the most expensive Google Ads categories in Canada, and most signed cases still start with a search. Google Search carries the budget, Local Services Ads add verified calls where legal categories are open, and Facebook and Instagram build recognition through short explainer videos.

Google Search ads

Case-type campaigns (car accidents, slip and fall, long-term disability) with strict negative keywords.

Local Services Ads

Legal categories are available for LSA in some Canadian markets; verified calls are billed per lead.

Facebook & Instagram ads

Explainer videos from the lawyers and retargeting of people who read case pages.

Everything else

YouTube explainers and Microsoft Ads, which often cost less per click for legal searches.

Planning marketing for a personal injury firm

Personal injury clients usually contact a few firms and choose the one that responds fastest and seems most trustworthy. Google Search captures people actively looking, Local Services Ads provide pay-per-lead options where available, and Meta builds awareness among people who don’t yet know they have a claim.

Intake speed and quality are as important as ads. We track response times and signed cases by channel so marketing spend follows real cases.

Fast intake

The first firm to respond often wins.

LSA where available

Pay-per-lead options for legal services.

Cases by channel

Spend follows signed cases.

Budget

How to split a personal injury marketing budget

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

  • Google Search ads 65%

    Case-type campaigns (car accidents, slip and fall, long-term disability) with strict negative keywords.

  • Local Services Ads 15%

    Legal categories are available for LSA in some Canadian markets; verified calls are billed per lead.

  • Facebook & Instagram 20%

    Explainer videos from the lawyers 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 personal injury lawyers

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