7x cheaper than Google Search for legal leads
—————————————
Legal leads on Facebook cost $18.17—7 times cheaper than Google Search at $131.63. The 10.53% CVR proves intent exists despite the social context. This represents the largest arbitrage opportunity in digital advertising: most law firms ignore Facebook because they're comfortable with Search, leaving massive efficiency gains on the table. The tradeoff is lead quality—social leads may need more nurturing than Search leads. But 7x cost difference justifies the additional work.
Test Facebook Lead Ads immediately—7x cost savings is too large to ignore. Use Lead Gen Forms for the 10.53% CVR (higher than Google). Implement qualification questions to filter low-intent leads. Build nurture sequences since social leads may need more warming than Search leads.
