At $131.63 CPL and 20% close rate, each client costs $658 to acquire. A single personal injury case might settle for $50,000+ (with 33% contingency = $16,500 fee). Even with 1-2 cases per month from ads, ROI is strong. For hourly billing practices (family, corporate), calculate based on average case value vs. acquisition cost.
