Where Custody Intake Leaks
The four reasons a strong custody case still sits without a signed retainer.
Being great in a custody hearing doesn't fill March's consult calendar by itself. These are the four gaps that quietly cost firms cases.
-
Grandparents and non-parents don't see themselves on your site
Third-party and grandparent visitation cases are real, filed under state statutes that followed Troxel v.
-
You're invisible the night an exchange goes wrong
A parent who didn't get their kid back at the agreed pickup time, or just learned the other parent filed to move out of state, searches and calls within the hour.
-
Interstate and relocation cases go to firms that show they know the UCCJEA
When a co-parent moves out of state, jurisdiction itself becomes the fight.
-
Modification and enforcement inquiries never turn into signed retainers
A parent who thinks they have grounds for a modification — a job change, a move, a violated order — fills out a form and waits.

These are representative searches, not guarantees — actual keyword targeting depends on your city, caseload, and local competition, and both rankings and AI-answer visibility build gradually.
Email Marketing
Follow-up that outlasts the first phone tag. Stay top of mind through a slow decision.
Most parents call two or three firms before picking one, and a custody decision can sit for weeks while they figure out timing and cost.
- Automated nurture sequence for parents still comparing firms
- Text and email reminders that keep consult slots filled
- Re-engagement outreach when a past client's situation changes

Review Request
Proof, not promises
See what actually turns into a signed retainer.
One dashboard ties every ad, page, and phone call to whether it became a client — and exactly what that client cost to acquire.
Lead & Case Tracking From the first ring to a signed retainer
Every inquiry — site form, ad click, phone call, or live chat — gets logged, tagged to its source, and put into an automatic follow-up sequence, so the parent still deciding on day one doesn't drift to whichever firm calls back within the hour.
Know exactly which keyword called
See whether “custody modification lawyer” or “emergency custody order” actually produced the inquiry, down to the individual ad.
Follow-up that doesn't rely on memory
A parent who calls but doesn't book gets a text and email sequence automatically, so a busy front desk isn't the only thing standing between a call and a signed case.
ROI Tracking See what a new client actually costs
Every signed retainer gets traced back to the ad, page, or referral that produced it, so you can see your real cost per client.
Cost per client, updated live
Ad spend, intake calls, form fills, and signed retainers sit in one view, so you can watch your cost-per-client number move month to month instead of guessing at year-end.
ROI by matter type
First-time custody filings, modifications, relocations, and grandparent-visitation cases are tracked as separate buckets, so you can see which one is actually worth the ad spend.
Call Analysis Never lose a caller to voicemail
Most parents pick up the phone before they ever fill out a form — and a call that rings through to voicemail during a custody emergency goes straight to the next name on their list.
Recorded, scored, reviewable
Every inbound call is recorded and scored against whether it converted, so you can hear exactly where a promising custody inquiry stalled and coach your intake staff with the real conversation.
Instant text-back on missed calls
A call that goes unanswered after hours triggers an automatic text within seconds, so a parent dealing with a Friday-night custody dispute hears from your firm before they call the next one in the search results.
Review Generation The rating a scared parent scrolls to first
Parents comparing custody attorneys almost always check reviews before dialing.
Requests timed to the right moment
Once a custody matter resolves or a modification is finalized, the client gets a single, well-timed request for a Google review.
One inbox for every new review
Reviews across Google and the other sites parents check land in a single feed, so you can respond quickly and keep the public record of your firm accurate.

Straight answers
Marketing for child custody lawyers, without the mystery
Pricing is public, not hidden behind a call. Google Ads management runs 10% of your monthly ad budget with a $600/month floor, and 100% of your ad budget goes straight to Google — we don't mark it up. SEO is priced per page at $50/month, with a 10-page minimum. A custom website is a one-time build between $1,500 and $20,000+, based on scope (full breakdown at /websites). No setup fee, no contract, cancel anytime — ask for a proposal and we'll have real numbers back to you within one business day.
If your consult calendar has open slots most weeks, your Google Ads spend isn't converting into retainers, or you genuinely can't say which channel brought in last month's clients, an agency earns its fee. We take the site, the ads, the local rankings, and the review pipeline off your plate so your time goes to parenting-time hearings and client meetings, not marketing spreadsheets. If your docket is already full with the cases you want, you may not need one yet.
Everything that turns a search into a signed retainer: the website and its intake flow, Google Ads for custody and modification searches, local SEO for your courthouse and county, AI-search visibility, and the review requests that build trust before anyone calls. One team runs all of it and answers for the results — not five separate vendors pointing at each other.
Ask three things: do they understand the bar advertising limits on family-law claims, can they show you which keyword or ad produced each signed case (not just each lead), and do you keep the ad account, the website files, and the client data if you ever leave? A generalist that treats your firm like a plumber's Google listing usually fails all three.
Google Ads can start putting your firm in front of parents within the first couple of weeks — which matters when someone's dealing with a violated order or a relocation notice with a filing deadline attached. SEO, AI-search visibility, and reviews build more slowly, usually becoming a steady source of clients over 3 to 6 months. Running both from day one gets you fast cases now and cheaper ones later.
We run your website, ads, SEO, AI search, email, and reviews as one system with one point of accountability, instead of stitching together separate vendors. Every ad is written inside bar rules, every call and form is tracked back to what produced it, and our pricing is posted, not quoted after a sales call. No contract — you own the site, the ad account, and every client record.
Signed cases. A form fill with no follow-up is worthless to a firm — we build the automated intake follow-up and the reporting that shows which campaigns actually turn into retainers, so your budget goes toward what's producing clients, not what's producing inbox noise.
Yes. Custody advertising sits under the same restrictions as the rest of family law — no outcome guarantees, no misleading claims about a case's likely result, careful handling of any testimonials. Every ad, landing page, and review request we build is written with those limits in mind, so your marketing doesn't create a bar complaint alongside new clients.
Yes. Every call and form is tagged to the campaign and keyword that produced it from day one, so you can see your real cost per signed case broken out by matter type — whether that's a first-time custody filing, a modification, or a relocation dispute.
Yes. Call tracking, web forms, and campaign data feed into your existing intake workflow or legal CRM — Clio, Lawmatics, MyCase, or whatever you already run — so new inquiries land where your intake staff can act on them fast, with no separate inbox to check.
You do, fully. Nothing sits on a proprietary platform we control — the site, the domain, the ad accounts, and every piece of client data belong to your firm from day one. If you ever want to switch agencies, you walk away with everything intact.
Most custody sites — covering legal and physical custody, modifications, relocation, and grandparent or third-party visitation — go live in roughly 2 to 4 weeks. The pace mostly comes down to how quickly we get your attorney bios, case-type details, and feedback on drafts back and forth.
