180 leads/month but only 35-40 are qualified
Your agency reports volume but after intake screening, 80% of leads are unqualified. You suspect bots and fake form fills are inflating the numbers — and your agency has no incentive to fix it.
Your Agency Reports 180 Leads/Month. After Intake Screening, 35 Are Qualified. Google Doesn't Know the Difference.
At $85-150 per click, every unqualified lead costs you more than most businesses spend on Google Ads per day. Your agency doesn't use offline conversion tracking, so Google keeps optimizing for form fills — not signed cases worth $45K each.

Sound familiar?
$85-150 per click with no offline conversion data
Google doesn't know which leads became signed cases. Without offline conversion tracking from Clio, the algorithm optimizes for the cheapest form fills — not the $45K cases.
Competitor firms spending $50K-$100K/mo are outbidding you
Larger firms dominate the top spots for 'personal injury lawyer Atlanta.' You can't outspend them, but you can out-optimize them with better conversion data and lead quality scoring.
Cost per signed case is $1,500 — but it should be $1,000
Your $1,500 CPA is acceptable against $45K case values, but you know the waste. If Google learned what a real signed case looks like, you could scale to $40K/mo ad spend without the efficiency dropping.
