What Drives Pricing
Four key factors that influence lead costs
Practice Area
Auto accident and personal injury leads cost more because case value and demand are higher.
Lead Type
Exclusive leads cost more than shared leads but reduce competition and usually improve conversion.
Geography
California, Texas, Florida, and New York are typically more competitive markets.
Delivery Method
Live calls often cost more than form leads because prospect intent is higher.
What Is Cost Per Signed Case?
Cost per signed case is the amount a law firm spends to acquire one retained client. It is calculated by dividing total lead spend by the number of signed cases.
Formula
Example
If a firm spends $25,000 on leads and signs 7.5 cases, the cost per signed case is approximately $3,333.
