Remarketing Strategies for Attorneys: Turning Browsers into Clients

For attorneys, one of the biggest challenges in digital marketing is turning website visitors into actual clients. Many potential clients may visit your website, explore your services, and then leave without taking action. This doesn’t mean they’re not interested—it simply means they may need an extra nudge to engage further.

This is where remarketing comes in. Remarketing allows law firms to re-engage users who have interacted with their website or ads but didn’t convert. Using platforms like Google Ads and Meta Ads (Facebook and Instagram), attorneys can deliver tailored messages to these users, keeping their firm top-of-mind and encouraging them to take the next step.

Here’s how law firms can use remarketing to turn browsers into clients—and how Hatch Strategies can help craft effective campaigns.

What is Remarketing?

Remarketing is a digital advertising strategy that targets users who have previously visited your website or engaged with your ads. It works by using cookies or tracking pixels to identify these users and deliver personalized ads as they browse the internet or scroll through social media.

For law firms, remarketing is an invaluable tool for:

• Re-engaging potential clients who didn’t convert on their first visit.
• Delivering tailored messages based on user behavior.
• Building trust and familiarity over time.

Why Remarketing is Crucial for Attorneys

In the legal industry, the decision to hire an attorney often involves research, deliberation, and comparison. Remarketing ensures your firm stays visible during this decision-making process.

Key Benefits of Remarketing for Attorneys:

1. Stay Top-of-Mind: Repeated exposure keeps your firm at the forefront of potential clients’ minds.
2. Encourage Action: Personalized ads can address specific concerns or highlight incentives, encouraging users to take the next step.
3. Cost-Effective Targeting: Remarketing focuses on users who have already expressed interest, making it more efficient than broad targeting.
4. Build Trust: Frequent exposure to your brand helps establish credibility and familiarity, making users more likely to choose your firm.

How Google Ads Remarketing Works for Attorneys

Google Ads offers powerful remarketing tools that allow law firms to target users across millions of websites and apps within the Google Display Network.

Key Features of Google Remarketing:

1. Display Ads: Show visually engaging ads to users as they browse other websites or use apps.
2. Search Remarketing Lists (RLSA): Target users who previously visited your site when they perform new searches on Google.
3. Dynamic Remarketing: Deliver ads tailored to specific pages or services users viewed on your site.

Example Strategy:
A user visits your website and browses your “personal injury services” page but doesn’t schedule a consultation. A Google Display Ad appears later as they read the news online, reminding them about your firm’s expertise in personal injury cases and encouraging them to book a consultation.

How Meta Ads Remarketing Works for Attorneys

Meta (Facebook and Instagram) allows attorneys to re-engage users on social media platforms with highly targeted ads.

Key Features of Meta Remarketing:

1. Custom Audiences: Target users who visited your website, interacted with your social media profiles, or engaged with previous ads.
2. Lookalike Audiences: Expand your reach by targeting users with similar profiles to those who visited your site.
3. Engaging Ad Formats: Use video ads, carousel ads, or lead generation ads to capture attention and drive action.

Example Strategy:
A user visits your website’s blog about “steps to take after a workplace injury” but doesn’t contact you. Later, they see a Meta Ad featuring a carousel of client testimonials about successful workplace injury cases, prompting them to schedule a free consultation.

Best Practices for Remarketing Campaigns for Attorneys

To maximize the effectiveness of your remarketing efforts, follow these best practices:

1. Segment Your Audience

Not all website visitors are the same. Segment your audience based on their behavior, such as:

• Users who visited specific service pages (e.g., family law, criminal defense).
• Users who abandoned a contact form or consultation booking page.
• Users who spent significant time on your site but didn’t take action.

2. Use Personalized Messaging

Tailor your ads to address the specific needs or concerns of each audience segment. For example:

• For users who viewed your personal injury services, highlight your success rate or a free consultation offer.
• For users who visited your blog, promote related content or encourage them to learn more about your services.

3. Set Frequency Caps

Avoid overwhelming potential clients with too many ads. Set frequency caps to ensure your ads remain engaging without becoming intrusive.

4. Include Strong Calls-to-Action (CTAs)

Encourage users to take the next step with clear, compelling CTAs such as:

• “Schedule Your Free Consultation Today.”
• “Contact Us Now for Expert Legal Advice.”
• “Learn How We Can Help—Call Now.”

5. Monitor and Optimize Campaigns

Regularly review performance metrics like click-through rates, conversion rates, and cost-per-click. Use this data to refine your targeting, messaging, and ad formats.
