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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
