Scaling organic lead flow in Los Angeles

The challenge

Personal injury law in Los Angeles is one of the toughest paid search markets anywhere. Click costs are high, competitors outspend you, and the firms that win build durable organic visibility alongside their paid programs.

RTM Law needed a marketing engine where SEO, paid, content and brand reinforced each other, and every dollar was traced back to a signed case.

The approach

I built one integrated program where every channel supported the others:

• Comprehensive strategy to grow brand awareness and client acquisition.
• Multi-channel campaigns across SEO, SEM, social and email working as one funnel.
• Content alignment with a brand voice that speaks to people in distress.
• Competitive intelligence to find gaps in competitor strategies.

Execution

SEO and content

• Built topical authority around personal injury practice areas.
• Optimized for high-intent local searches.
• Created educational content that ranked and converted.

Paid media

• Managed and optimized Google Ads across Search and Performance Max.
• Built negative keyword libraries to control wasted spend.
• A/B tested landing pages matched to ad groups.

Lead generation and funnel

• Built call tracking and form attribution across every channel.
• Nurtured prospects through the funnel.
• Tightened consultation-to-retainer conversion.

Operations and reporting

• Tracked KPIs and adjusted strategy to hit goals.
• Allocated budget to maximize ROI.
• Coordinated internal teams and outside agencies on one message.

“In legal marketing, the firms that win aren't always the ones who spend the most. They're the ones who build trust before the prospect ever needs a lawyer.”

Results

• Expanded brand awareness across the Los Angeles legal market.
• Built organic visibility that reduced reliance on expensive paid clicks.
• Marketing spend tied directly to case sign-ups and retainers.
