Law Firm Marketing Attribution & ROI Tracking
The Moment When the Numbers Don’t Line Up
It usually happens in a partner meeting. Marketing reports show strong lead volume. Ad spend has increased and campaign performance appears solid.
Then someone asks:
“How many of these leads became signed cases?”
“What is our true cost per client?”
“Which campaigns should we scale?”
Google Ads says one thing. Salesforce shows something slightly different. Leads are labeled simply “Google.” Campaign names have changed. Returning visitors lose attribution. No one is fully confident in the answer.
That’s not a campaign issue. It’s an infrastructure issue.
Marketing Attribution at the Case Level
From Click to Signed Case: Structured Attribution
For a law firm, marketing attribution should answer one question clearly:
Which marketing investments are producing signed cases and at what cost?
When structured properly, attribution allows leadership to:
- Identify which campaigns generate qualified cases
- Measure true cost per signed client
- Align Salesforce and ad platform reporting
- Allocate budget with confidence
Without structured attribution, performance discussions rely on incomplete data. And incomplete data leads to misallocation.
Let's Talk About Your Marketing Needs
Why Attribution Breaks as Firms Grow
As digital spend increases, small tracking inconsistencies become meaningful financial blind spots.
A prospective client may:
- Click a paid search ad
- Research your firm
- Return later
- Submit a form
Without multi-session attribution preservation, that lead may be recorded as “Direct” instead of credited to the original campaign. Over time, this distorts ROI calculations and scaling decisions.
If your firm cannot clearly trace marketing spend to signed cases, the infrastructure deserves attention.
Signs Your Tracking May Be Incomplete
- CRM shows “Google” without campaign-level detail
- Google Ads and Salesforce numbers don’t align
- Campaign renaming affects reporting
- Cost per signed case cannot be calculated reliably
- Returning visitors lose original source attribution
These are not uncommon issues. They are structural ones.
