How is a Marketing Engineer different from a traditional agency?

A traditional agency often focuses on a single service such as SEO, PPC or web development. I look at how those services connect to intake, CRM, automation and signed cases, so the goal is finding where the whole acquisition system underperforms, not just adding more marketing activity.

Do I need to replace my current marketing agency?

No. I can replace an underperforming agency, oversee your existing vendors, or work alongside your internal team. The right structure depends on what you already have and where the gaps are.

Do you work with small personal injury firms?

Yes. I work with small and growing firms as well as larger firms that need specialized marketing-engineering support. What matters is your growth goals, your resources, and whether there is a real opportunity to improve marketing and intake.

How long does it take to see results?

It depends on the problem. Intake, tracking and conversion fixes can show measurable change sooner than SEO or brand building. I generally suggest three to six months to evaluate a real strategy, and I do not require a long-term contract.

What metrics do you use to measure success?

Signed cases are the primary outcome. I also track qualified leads, consultation rates, intake conversion, cost per qualified lead and cost per signed case. For brand and AI-search work I measure visibility and authority rather than treating every channel as direct response.

The opportunity

More traffic isn't always the answer

Personal injury is one of the most competitive areas of legal marketing. Firms compete for high-value cases across Google, Local Services Ads, local search, and increasingly AI-powered search. Advertising costs can be substantial, and every missed call or poorly handled lead can be a lost case.

Yet many firms keep investing in more traffic without understanding what happens after someone contacts the firm. The agency reports clicks and leads. Intake reports that the leads are poor. The managing partner is left wondering why spend keeps rising while signed cases stay flat.

The opportunity is to connect the whole system. Before spending more to acquire another lead, find out whether the firm is converting the opportunities it already has.

Why it's different

Why personal injury marketing is different

Personal injury marketing is not simply about generating inquiries. It is about reaching the right person at the right moment, establishing trust quickly, and moving a potential client through a time-sensitive intake process.

Traditional reporting Clicks → leads

4,700 clicks, 74 leads, and the report stops there. A campaign can look successful with zero signed cases counted.

Case-acquisition reporting Leads → signed cases

Every inquiry traced through qualified lead, consultation and signed case, so you see exactly where cases are lost.

The difference is not whether traffic matters. It is whether you can trace it all the way to signed cases.

What I do

How I help your firm grow

I don't bring every firm the same package. I look at your existing marketing, technology and intake process to understand what is working, what is not, and where I can make the greatest impact.

SEO & AI search visibility

Practice-area and local strategies that put your firm where clients research legal help, including AI-powered search.

Paid media & Local Services Ads

PPC and LSA evaluation focused on qualified opportunities and signed cases, not just clicks.

Websites & conversion

Sites and landing pages that show credibility, answer questions, and make contacting you easy.

Intake & CRM optimization

A look at how calls, qualification, scheduling and follow-up work, and where cases get lost.

AI & marketing automation

Connected tools and AI-assisted workflows that cut manual work and speed up follow-up.

Data, attribution & accountability

Marketing tied to intake and case outcomes, so you know which channels produce signed cases.

How I work

How I work with your firm

I work directly with a small number of firms so each engagement gets real attention. Depending on your situation, I can work alongside your marketing team, oversee existing vendors, or take responsibility for the work myself.

1

I learn your business

Practice areas, target markets, growth goals, existing marketing, intake process and performance data.
2

I find what's holding growth back

An analysis of the funnel to find where visibility, lead quality, conversion, intake or follow-up limits results.
3

I make the right improvements

The SEO, paid media, website, CRM, intake and automation work needed to fix those problems.
4

I measure and refine

Performance tracked beyond traffic and leads, signed-case outcomes evaluated, the system improved on the data.

Proof

More cases without buying more leads

One firm was generating about 2,000 leads a month but signing fewer than 1% of them. By improving intake monitoring and automating parts of the process, signed-case conversion rose to roughly 5-6%. The largest opportunity was not more traffic. It was improving what happened after the lead arrived.

Before ~20

signed cases per month from ~2,000 leads, under 1% conversion.

After 100-120+

signed cases per month at 5-6% conversion, without buying more traffic.

Results from a previous law-firm engagement. Individual results vary based on lead quality, intake operations, market conditions and implementation.
