Why Facebook and Instagram ads work for personal injury lawyers
Personal injury search keywords are among the most expensive on Google. Facebook offers a cheaper way to build brand recognition and capture people after an accident, especially those who are not yet sure whether they have a case.
The challenge is intake quality. Qualifying questions about when the accident happened, injuries and fault, combined with fast intake follow-up, turn Facebook leads into signed cases.
Legal advertising rules
Meta does not place most legal services in a Special Ad Category, but ads must avoid implying personal attributes (for example, “Were you arrested?”), sensational claims and guarantees of outcomes. State bar advertising rules also apply, and some require disclaimers. I write within both.
Common problems I fix
- Low-quality leads with no viable case
- Implied-attribute copy rejected
- Slow intake response
- Unclear case type targeting
