How do law firms compare Display and TV to search advertising?
Search ads bill per click and legal keywords often cluster near $9.87 in published benchmarks, which exhausts budget fast on tire-kickers. Mobile web display plus TV spreads reach across households researching firms over weeks. You still capture high-intent search elsewhere, but Waverunner adds affordable top-of-funnel presence that search-only plans skip.
Industry search medians are planning aids; your market may differ. Waverunner reports first-party form fills, not platform-inflated lead counts.
Performance reportingCan each practice area run its own message and budget?
Personas separate personal injury, family law, estate planning, and criminal defense into distinct creative tracks. A PI persona emphasizes free consultations and contingency language, while estate ads focus on trust and clarity. Budget splits keep family mediation campaigns from starving PI prospecting during seasonal spikes in accident filings and holiday intake slowdowns.
Each persona inherits firm credentials but overrides headlines, disclaimers, and channel mix independently.

Free case reviewWhat timeline should a law firm expect for ad results?
Legal decisions rarely convert on the first click. Most firms need roughly sixty days of consistent Mobile web and TV spend before intake forms show stable patterns. Early weeks build TV recall and Google or Meta delivery; later weeks reveal which practice-area personas produce qualified consults. Pause anytime, but judge performance after a full learning window.
The performance dashboard shows daily form fills and cost per consult so you can compare personas without waiting on a monthly deck.

Flat-fee wills and trusts with transparent timelines. Evening appointments for working families.
Book consultationWhy do attorneys add TV to Mobile web prospecting?
Clients often shortlist firms they recognize from streaming TV before they ever click an ad. A sober spot highlighting verdict history, community roots, and attorney faces makes your Mobile web and Google ads feel trustworthy instead of intrusive. Personal injury and criminal defense especially benefit when prospects compare three firms under stress on short deadlines.
Launch-pack TV output shares messaging with Mobile web static units so compliance review happens once.

How long before a law firm ad campaign shows stable leads?
Plan for roughly sixty days of consistent spend. Legal shoppers compare firms over weeks, especially for PI and criminal defense.
Can one firm run separate ads for family and PI cases?

How are consult form fills tracked?

Can I geo-limit ads to states where I am licensed?
Yes. Use state, radius, or DMA targeting so campaigns respect bar admission boundaries.
Do TV ads require bar compliance review?
You approve every creative before launch. Edit copy in the ad library if your jurisdiction requires specific disclaimers.
