Your legal ads are bleeding money. Let's stop that.
Bordeaux law firms lose €400+ monthly to poor ad targeting. We fix that in 90 days.
📍 Bordeaux Market Insight: Bordeaux's ~32,000 SMBs create intense competition for local legal services, yet most law firms run unfocused Google Ads with CPCs above €12. The market is shifting toward local search intent—potential clients search for 'avocat spécialisé' or 'cabinet juridique' in precise districts like Saint-Pierre. Law firms that combine paid search with local SEO dominate; those running generic campaigns haemorrhage budget. Your competitors are already here.

Recognise Any of These?
These are the most common digital marketing challenges we see in Bordeaux's law firms sector — and the hidden costs most businesses don't realise they're paying.
“You rank below competitors in Google Ads for local legal searches, even though you bid aggressively.”
Your ad copy and landing pages don't match searcher intent; you're bidding on broad terms instead of high-intent long-tail keywords specific to your practise areas and location.
You waste €300–€600 monthly on clicks from unqualified prospects, pushing your cost-per-qualified-lead above €180.
“Leads come in, but very few convert into cases or retainers.”
Your website landing pages are generic and built for brand awareness, not case enquiries. They don't address the specific legal problem or build urgency.
Your conversion rate sits at 0.8%, meaning you're paying €200+ per actual client instruction instead of €85.
“Your monthly Google Ads bill keeps growing, but revenue stays flat.”
You're not using audience segmentation, bid adjustments, or conversion tracking. Your campaigns are broad-brush and reactive, not strategic.
You're losing an estimated €400–€500 monthly to ad waste and inefficient targeting—money that should fund case acquisition or firm growth.
How We Get You Results
No mystery. No black box. Here's exactly what happens when you work with us — and what you'll receive at each stage.
Audit & Strategy
Week 1–2We review your current paid campaigns, website, and competitor landscape. We identify which legal practise areas (family law, corporate, employment) have the highest search demand in Bordeaux, and where your ads are underperforming.
20-page audit report with prioritised recommendations, competitor teardown, and keyword opportunity map
Landing Page Rebuild
Week 3–4We redesign your landing pages to convert enquiries, not just clicks. Each page targets a specific legal service (e.g., 'Divorce Law in Bordeaux') and includes clear CTAs, client testimonials, and pricing transparency.
2–3 conversion-optimised landing pages, A/B test plan, and copy brief
Campaign Restructure
Week 4–5We rebuild your Google Ads account with intent-based keyword groups, audience segmentation (by geography, intent, and device), and smart bid strategies. We separate high-margin practise areas from low-ROI campaigns.
New campaign structure, keyword lists, ad copy variants, and bid strategy documentation
Tracking & Optimisation
Week 5–8We install conversion tracking, set up call tracking (if phone enquiries are primary), and create a dashboard. We then run weekly optimisations—pausing underperforming ads, increasing bids on high-converters, and testing new copy.
Conversion tracking setup, weekly optimisation reports, and client dashboard access
Growth & Scale
Month 3 onwardsOnce we've optimised your cost-per-lead to below €100, we scale budget to high-performing campaigns. We also layer in LinkedIn Ads for corporate clients and local SEO to reduce reliance on paid-only channels.
Monthly performance reports, quarterly strategy reviews, and growth roadmap
Within 90 days, you'll have a predictable, measurable paid marketing system that brings in qualified case enquiries at a fraction of your current cost. You'll know exactly where each euro goes and what ROI it generates.
Bordeaux Law Firms Success Stories
A Bordeaux-based family law practice with 4 partners, 2 years in business, averaging €8k/month in retainers.
Google Ads cost-per-lead was €210; only 12% of leads converted to cases. The firm was spending €4,200/month on ads but generating just 2–3 new cases monthly. Website was generic and didn't differentiate them from larger competitors.
- →Rebuilt landing pages around high-intent keywords: 'divorce lawyer Bordeaux', 'family law Bordeaux Saint-Pierre', with client testimonials and transparent fee structures
- →Restructured campaigns to separate divorce, custody, and mediation services; paused broad 'legal advice' keywords and reallocated budget to practise-area-specific terms
- →Implemented call tracking and conversion pixel; set up weekly bid adjustments based on conversion data
“We thought we needed to spend more on ads. Turns out we just needed to spend smarter. Omakaase forced us to get serious about conversion tracking and intent-based targeting. Now we're actually profitable on paid ads—something we didn't think was possible in family law.”
A Bordeaux corporate/commercial law firm with 6 lawyers, targeting mid-market clients and SMBs in tech and real estate sectors.
LinkedIn Ads and Google Ads were running in parallel with no coordination; budget was €3,200/month but generating only 8–10 qualified enquiries. Website was lawyer-centric, not client-problem-centric. No tracking of which leads actually closed.
- →Audited competitor LinkedIn and Google presence; identified that competitors were bidding on 'legal counsel for tech startups' and 'commercial contracts Bordeaux'—high-intent terms the firm was ignoring
- →Rebuilt homepage and service pages to address specific client industries and legal problems (e.g., 'IP protection for Bordeaux SaaS companies', 'M&A advisory for real estate firms'); added case studies and ROI-focused CTAs
- →Unified ad strategy: Google Ads for high-intent search, LinkedIn for relationship-building and brand authority; set up conversion tracking linking ads to retainer agreements
“Our problem wasn't budget—it was strategy. We were running ads everywhere and nowhere. Omakaase got us focused on our best client profiles (tech founders, real estate developers) and showed us we could afford to be selective. Quality of enquiries went up, and our close rate doubled. That's the difference between marketing spend and marketing investment.”
