Client Overview The client, a UK-based legal firm specializing in speeding ticket cases, sought to improve their online presence and generate high-quality leads through Google Ads. Operating in a highly competitive legal industry, the firm aimed to dominate search results for generic legal queries related to speeding tickets. Their focus was on leveraging Google Ads campaigns to attract relevant traffic, enhance visibility, and improve cost-efficiency in Google Ads lead generation.
