Revenue & Lead Economics
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Client value | Settlement: $20k–$100k |
| Contingency (33%) | $6,600–$33,000/case |
| High-value (truck/malpractice) | $100k–$1M+. |
| CPL | $100–$400 Google (highest CPCs). $30–$80 Meta. 'Car accident lawyer' CPCs reach $200–$500/click. |
Platform & Format Strategy
Best platform: Google (highest intent, most expensive). YouTube pre-roll. Meta for brand awareness at lower CPCs. Local TV being replaced by video ads.. Format: Testimonial (client outcomes), Brand Story (fighting-for-you narrative), Process Steps (what to do after accident).
Compliance & Legal
State bar rules vary: some prohibit settlement amounts in ads. ABA: no outcome guarantees, attorney ID required. Many states require 'advertisement' disclaimer. Waiting periods in some states.
The Core Challenge
Most expensive/competitive digital category. CPCs so high that 1% conversion improvement = $50k+ annual savings. Video must pre-qualify (real injury, at-fault party, within statute).
What Works
Settlement showcases (where allowed). 'What to do after car accident' educational content. '24/7 free consultation.' Spanish-language in Hispanic markets. Click-to-call from video.
Seasonal Calendar
Holiday weekends (July 4, Labor Day) spike auto accidents. Ice/snow season (Dec–Feb). Motorcycle spring (Mar–May). No true off-season for PI.
FluxNote Workflow
Accident-type-specific ads (car, slip-and-fall, malpractice, truck) — each targets different keywords at different CPCs. Medical malpractice: highest case value.
