Meta Ads for Law Firms — Facebook and Instagram Lead Generation
Reach potential clients before they search Google. Meta Ads work for high-volume practice areas — personal injury, family law, and divorce — where emotional triggers drive decisions. LPC-compliant copy. 10% management fee.
Why Meta Ads Work for Certain Practice Areas
Google ads reach people who are actively searching. Meta ads reach people who haven't started searching yet — but match your ideal client profile. For some practice areas, that's where the volume is.
Best practice areas for Meta Ads:
- Personal Injury / RAF claims — high awareness need, broad audience
- Family Law and Divorce — emotional trigger, people seek information before searching
- Criminal Defence — family members searching for help on behalf of someone
- Conveyancing — too transactional, better on Google Search
- Commercial Litigation — B2B, better through LinkedIn or Google
Two Costs — Clearly Separated
Your Ad Budget (to Meta):
You set a daily or monthly budget cap. Meta charges you per click or impression depending on campaign objective. Goes straight from you to Meta — we never handle your ad spend.
Our Management Fee (to us):
10% of your monthly Meta budget. Covers campaign setup, creative direction, audience targeting, A/B testing, and monthly reporting.
Example
R8,000/month Meta budget → R800/month management fee → total R8,800/month
What We Do

LPC Compliance Note
Meta allows a wide range of ad formats and targeting. The LPC restricts what SA law firms can claim. We write all copy to comply — no success rate claims, no outcome guarantees, no prohibited testimonials.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which practice areas work best with Meta Ads?
Personal injury/RAF, family law, and divorce consistently perform well. Criminal defence can work, particularly targeting family members. We'll tell you honestly if Meta isn't the right channel for your practice area before you spend anything.
How is this different from boosting a Facebook post?
Completely different. Boosting a post is unstructured promotion. A proper Meta campaign has defined objectives (leads, calls, website traffic), targeted audiences, A/B tested creative, conversion tracking, and ongoing optimisation. Boosted posts waste budget. We don't boost posts.
Do I need a Facebook/Instagram page?
Yes — Meta ads run from a Facebook Page. If your firm doesn't have one, we'll help you set it up. It needs to be properly set up before we can run ads.
How quickly do Meta Ads generate leads?
Faster than organic SEO — you can see leads within days of launching. But the first 2–4 weeks is the learning phase, where Meta's algorithm is figuring out who converts. Results stabilise and improve from week 4 onwards with consistent optimisation.
