Legal Services.
Paid-search costs in competitive legal markets vary materially by location, query, match type and date; use current account data for planning. Durable content and authority can complement paid acquisition, but channel mix and results vary. A stronger organic channel may change the paid-media mix; it does not guarantee that paid spend can be eliminated. Work must be scoped to the firm's practice areas, jurisdictions, advertising rules, and current demand data.
