The partner

Larin & Partners is a legal-services practice working across Kropyvnytskyi and Kyiv. Legal intent is spiky and high-stakes: people search when they urgently need help, competition on those terms is fierce, and the cost of a wasted click is high. The firm needed a system that caught that demand the moment it appeared — and turned it into booked consultations at a sane cost.

Goals

  • Capture urgent, high-intent legal queries the moment they happen.
  • Bring the cost per qualified inquiry down and keep it there.
  • Expand from a single city into a second market without losing efficiency.
  • Track every call and form as a conversion so bidding optimizes to real cases.
  • Grow lead volume steadily, quarter over quarter.

Strategy

We built the account around legal intent: defend the practice's name, own the high-value practice-area searches, and let Performance Max — including a local variant — extend reach around each office. Measurement came first so bidding always chased real inquiries.

  1. 01

    Structured by practice area and city

    Separate high-intent Search campaigns for the core legal services, split cleanly between Kropyvnytskyi and Kyiv, so each market got its own budget, messaging and bids.

  2. 02

    Made every inquiry countable

    Calls and form submissions tracked as conversions from day one — the reason cost per lead could be driven down deliberately rather than by luck.

  3. 03

    Local Performance Max around each office

    A local PMax variant carried the firm into Maps, Discover and YouTube in its catchment areas, adding low-friction inquiries the pure-search setup couldn't reach.

  4. 04

    Ruthless negative-keyword hygiene

    Legal search is full of information-seekers who never hire. Tight query control kept spend on people ready to retain a lawyer.

  5. 05

    Weekly optimization, compounding results

    Bids, budgets and assets tuned every week. Lead flow climbed from a near-standing start to roughly eight times the launch quarter at peak — while cost per lead fell.

Results

From a launch quarter of almost nothing, quarterly lead volume climbed to roughly eight times as high at peak, and settled into a sustained higher band — all while the cost of each lead dropped by more than three-quarters.
