Key issues and areas of development:
Перед початком роботи ми виділили кілька основних проблем. Ось кілька з них:
A part of the team which became separate from the rest of the company was responsible for sales and ad campaigns. Meanwhile, the rest of the employees didn't have any experience in gaining sales and leads at all. As the result, they weren't able to explain internet-marketing metrics.
In our Adburo team we always focus on making clients understand KPIs and results which we bring. By doing that we dive deeply into the client's business. After that, we agree with the client on improvement ideas and make decisions on further steps to increase performance.
In order to be aligned with the client regarding our ads strategy, we met at the client's office and prepared several reports via Loom. Thus, he could see our screen and what we were doing in his Google Ads account. After that, we decided to prepare regular reports with key results in ad campaigns and explain the principles of Google Ads.

Thus, he could see our screen and what we were doing in his Google Ads account. After that, we decided to prepare regular reports with key results in ad campaigns and explain the principles of Google Ads.
Due to the reasons explained above, our client had his own limited number of clients and a team of lawyers but without any source of new leads. That's why the clients was interested in launching Google Ads as soon as possible.
Since we already had experience with clients in the legal assessment niche, we quickly configured ads for general keywords which generate more conversions.
Since we already had experience with clients in the legal assessment niche, we quickly configured ads for general keywords which generate more conversions.
From our own experience we knew that most of the leads would come from a call. However, the client didn't have a call-tracking tool, so we integrated it in the very beginning.
Before the start the client had only one landing page with some of their services listed. But they provide a much wider list of services, so we decided to create ad groups for different services. This meant separating keywords by groups with different meanings for clients' needs.
For example, our client didn't have separate web pages for services like "military lawyer consultation" or "road accidents' lawyer", etc. The key reasons why such web pages should be available:
For example, our client didn't have separate web pages for services like "military lawyer consultation" or "road accidents' lawyer", etc. The key reasons why such web pages should be available:
- A higher percentage of site visitors conversion into potential customers. This happens because of the fact that a user clicked on the interesting ad and is redirected to a web page describing this service. It means that a user is more possible to leave an application.
- Lower cost per click and lead price in Google. If a web page is relevant for a keyword, this increases the chances of getting a higher quality score and paying less for advertising clicks.
- A higher percentage of conversions into clients. It's similar to the first point but if there it was about a user reaction, here it's means that if a web page is relevant, a client more likely would pay for services.
Goals
- 400 applications per month.
- To motivate potential clients to visit the office for a consultation. As the result, a conversion rate would grow.
- Create a sales funnel to understand suitable cost per lead and conversion.
Tasks
- To launch results tracking.
- To connect dynamic call-tracking.
- To prepare a new website structure.
What has been done?
1. Results tracking was set up: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Google Optimize, dynamic call tracking:
Google Tag Manager & Google Analytics help to analyze users' behavior on the website: how do they enter the web page, which days and hours are the most popular with applications, etc. Moreover, Google Tag Manager helps to divide users into different groups by actions. For example, users which visited a website for 30 seconds, clicked on the needed button or watched a video but didn't send an application. This means that we know all users who were interested in our services but didn't act. It's important to show ads for this audience for the second time as it's more profitable to show it to those who hadn't met your brand before.
Google Optimize enables to conduct A/B-testing. Even if only one phrase on the main web page is changed, ads results can improve up to 20-40%. We conduct A/B-testing to find out the best things which users react on. Please have a look at the example of A/B-testing in another case study: Case Farsh. Increase in sales through website by 254% in 6 months. A/B-testing testing results for that case with lawyers will appear later.
Dynamic call-tracking enables to tracking which ad (campaign, keyword) influenced a call. In most of service-based companies, calls are the most popular way to connect with a company. It's important to connect this tool so as to track sales and ads results.
All settings were conducted according to our own checklist with more than 50 points. Most of the changes are similar at the start. At the start, it's important to integrate Google Analytics and Tag Manager no matter what ads we set up.
In order not to miss any detail in ads settings, we created a big checklist. By adjusting everything with that list we won't miss anything or make any mistakes.

2. General keywords campaigns. We know that general keywords attract more clicks on ads. General keywords mean phrases like: "Lawyers Kyiv" or "Lawyer consultation" which let us know that lawyer help is needed but without service details. Since our client provides many different services, this approach suit to them.
For our convenience we divided general keywords into two key areas "lawyers" and "jurist". It simplifies to create cross negative keywords and facilitates work of the quality indicator. As the result, it decreases cost per click and increases the profitability of advertising.

3. Non-target leads and decrease of number of appeals. Soon after the start we received a feedback from client that applications were targeted as their questions were suit to their services. But some leads came from other regions of Ukraine. It's possible to work with them but their conversion rate is much lower. That's why we decided to change the way we targeted locations.
It's possible to change locations on a campaign level. Firstly we decided to focus on people who are located in needed area and are interested in it. This enables to get more impressions and is efficient for most of the campaigns.
However, it didn't work for our client, so we decided to show ads for people located in Kyiv and the closest towns and villages.

However, it didn't work for our client, so we decided to show ads for people located in Kyiv and the closest towns and villages.
And it actually worked! All applications started to come from Kyiv and Kyiv region. According to the client's feedback, applications' quality increased but the number of them decreased. It's shown on the screenshot below with data on weekly basis.
In order to increase the number of applications, we regularly checked the search query report, updated negative keywords and ordinary keywords. Also, developed the quality indicator by changing keywords ad groups segmentation, changed advertisements. As the result, we increased the nmuber of applications which is shown on screenshot with the last week below.

4. Increasing the number of applications, and expanding the list of keywords. While working on improving the launched advertising campaigns, we noticed that the popularity of military lawyers has grown. It's obvious due to the war in Ukraine. Also, we decided that lawyers in road accidents could be popular as well since traffic lights aren't working on the roads. After that, we suggested our client increase the budget for these two areas and he accepted it.
In the screenshot below you can see the results of ad campaigns targeted on keywords with military agenda. On the first day after the launch ad campaign brought 10 applications with an average cost $1.49 (56 UAH).

Advertising launch in 2 days only
Due to the issues listed above, our client wanted to start running ads as soon as possible, so we did our best. In the screenshot below you can see "changes history" in Google Ads account. The first change was done on 19th September at 10:37 am:
And on 20th September first 15 applications were received:
Incoming calls' tracking via dynamic call-tracking system
We recommended our client to use a dynamic call-tracking system since our first meeting. There are plenty of different companies which provide these services.
This system enables you to track the exact ad which influenced a user to call your company.
The principle of work is as follows: we rent several different numbers. For example, 5 is enough. When there will be 5 users visiting the website simultaneously, each of them will see different phone numbers. If someone calls a company, in analytics you will see from which advertising the visitor switched.
As I mentioned above, most service-based companies generate applications through phone calls. That's why it's so important to track them.
As for this project, we noticed that phone calls generated 40% of all applications during the first month. Or 150 applications in total.
We assume that the conversion rate and percentage ratio between calls and other applications will grow after we develop a new website for the client.

Result
In spite of us starting working in September, we present results for October only due to two key reasons: it's the first full month and we started tracking all results since the end of September including call-tracking.
We have shot 92% of the KPI during the first month: the goal was to generate 400 applications. But it's shown on the screen that there weren't any applications for 2 days at all. The reason was that the client didn't top up the ad account. Otherwise, there would be more applications.
We have been working with this client since September until the present. That's why we haven't reached all the goals and this case study would be updated.

What could have happened if we hadn't enabled a call-tracking system? - we wouldn't be able to track even half of all applications. As the result, it could lead to us making wrong decisions. For example, in that case, we could have excluded some of the keywords or even the whole ad campaign due to the absence of results. However, results could have been generated through phone calls but we weren't able to track them.
Conclusions and recommendations for the legal services niche
- Set up ad campaigns for 2 languages: Ukrainian and Russian. In spite of the fact that 70% of Ukrainians consider Ukrainian as their mother tongue, most search queries are in Russian. But the percentage of Ukrainian searches has been rising for the last months. As the result, given the fact that there're still lots of people searching on Google in Russian, we need to create campaigns and keywords in that language. But so as not to lose a big amount of Ukrainian demand, we need to add Ukrainian keywords to separate ad campaigns as well. We recommend creating different ad campaigns with different languages instead of ad groups because it's easier to manage and optimize them.
- Always enable call tracking. Most of the service-based companies' applications come from phone calls. In order not to miss any data, lose budget and potential clients and make correct decisions, it's highly recommended to use dynamic call-tracking services.
- If client's company provides a wide range of services, try to focus on creating general keywords. They generate a lot of clicks and can indicate popular types of other services.
- Always be aware of trends. Keep tracking events, new laws, or anything else that might encourage people to use your client's services. In our case, it happened with lawyers specialized in military and road accidents.
