The landing pages actually worth stealing from
So you know exactly what to avoid
Burnham Law bought the divorce click and then put a lawyer on the other end of it. The number sits above the form in heavy black type, the lime bar across the top of the page repeats it, and the header repeats it again beside a CALL NOW button. The form itself is headed with a question about the divorce rather than a request for your details. Nothing in the first screen names a price, which is the right call when the person reading it is frightened.
Lead with a bold, category-owning claim ('Colorado's #1 Divorce Lawyer') in massive type on a clean background with the intake form immediately adjacent. The claim is aggressive but the page backs it up with 25 years, 4.5 star reviews, 17 attorneys, and 11 offices.
Your form heading decides what the visitor thinks they are doing. Burnham heads the hero form with a question rather than a request for details, so filling it in feels like asking for help. Change your own heading from Contact Us to the question your customer arrived with.
Attorneys, clients, teammates and years each get a figure and a label in a column beside the copy. Each is something the firm can actually count, which is why they read as facts and not adjectives. Put the count where the adjective used to be.
The page opens on a boast, softens into You will succeed through this chapter, hardens into Win, and move on, then lands on Welcome. To the dream team. Somebody going through a divorce moves through those feelings in a week. Read your own copy out loud.
The stat column names a number and then never shows you a face. Client reviews carry star rows, and the only lawyer names anywhere are the ones clients drop into those reviews. No photo, no title, no bio. Put the faces on and say what each does.
The brightest thing here is a strip carrying the phone number, and the same lime comes back on the form button and the footer headings. It reads as a software launch rather than a law firm. Keep your loud colour for the button you want pressed.
Cordell & Cordell runs a page per city and this is the Washington one, so the city name is the first thing you read and the biggest thing on the screen. That single line of message match is what earns the slot. Then a white box lands on top of the hero and asks whether you want help with divorce or a family law matter, which is the question the ad already answered.
Create city-specific PPC landing pages with the local office team photos, local address with map, and local phone number. Cordell & Cordell runs this template across dozens of cities, each with localized content and team bios that make a national firm feel like a local practice.
Washington, DC sits above the headline, so somebody who typed a city into Google lands on their own city and knows it at a glance. If you run a page per town, put the town where Cordell puts it. a single page for everywhere makes every visitor work it out.
That line names the feeling somebody turned up with, then answers it with people who felt the same. It is a different job from a star average, and in family law it is the job reviews do best. Head your block with the worry. The word Testimonials earns nothing.
A national firm with offices everywhere still puts Meet Your Team on the city page, and every card carries a headshot, a name and a job title. It makes a very large practice feel like the office down the road. Build the team block per location.
It dims the whole page behind it and asks whether you want help with divorce or a family law matter. The ad already answered that, which is why the click happened. When we captured this page the panel hid the band above the button. Neither can your visitor read it.
Nothing we could read names a figure, and the modal sits on the one band of the hero we could not read. Either way, the route to a price is booking the call. Another page in this file prints its retainer tiers. Put a starting figure where nobody hunts.
Only one other page in this file puts money on the screen, and Becker Law Firm is the one that prices the work itself. Each tier carries a retainer, a monthly payment and the sort of case it covers, and all of it is printed before anybody books a call. The design is doing that pricing no favours, but the pricing is why the page is here.
Show three pricing tiers side by side (Tier 1: $1,500 retainer / Tier 2: $2,500 retainer / Tier 3: $5,000+ retainer) with monthly cost ranges for each. In an industry where 'call for a quote' is standard, showing exact pricing eliminates the #1 barrier to contacting a lawyer: fear of finding out it costs more than you can afford.
Cheap and affordable are not the same word, and this page makes sure you read the second one. The pricing arrives as a position on who deserves a lawyer rather than as a discount. If you compete on money, say why you priced it that way first.
The case detail stays folded behind a toggle so the price is the loudest thing on the card. The fear in family law is the bill that never stops, and a monthly figure kills it before the first call. Even a starting range beats making somebody ring to find out.
Charging for the first meeting is printed here, and so is the reasoning: paid advice is advice, and nobody is being sold to. It screens out browsers and tells a serious buyer the hour is worth something. Whatever yours costs, put it on the page.
The white type runs past the bottom edge, so the tail of the g in Privilege drops onto white paper and disappears. Nobody reads that as a design choice. Load your own hero at a normal desktop width and check the headline has room underneath.
You leave knowing exactly what a case costs and nothing about who runs it. No photo, no bio, and the phone number waits until you have scrolled past the pricing, the FAQs and the closing pitch. Put the person under the price.
Star badges for Google and Avvo sit in the header, beside a phone number you can read across a room. Naming the rating body is the part worth copying, because Avvo is somewhere a stranger can go and check you and a padlock icon is not. The case evaluation form then fills the right of the hero, so a free evaluation, a phone number and the form all land in the first screen together, which almost nothing else in this file manages.
Show a team photo or video above the fold with 'Nebraska's Premier Divorce Attorneys' positioning, then immediately follow with three trust stats (dollar sign + 1,000+ cases + 60+ years combined experience). This page does everything a PPC divorce page should do: establishes authority, shows the team, explains the process, and offers a free evaluation.
Uncontested, litigated, mediated and collaborative each carry an icon and a plain sentence. Somebody who does not know which kind of divorce they are having can find themselves in that grid. List the versions of your service in the words a customer would use.
Free evaluation, then the consultation, then case management, each numbered and each with a sentence saying what happens inside it. People put off ringing a lawyer because they do not know what ringing a lawyer starts. Draw your own opening steps on the page.
REQUEST A FREE CASE EVALUATION turns up after the divorce services, after the client process and after the reviews. Only the colour moves. It never softens into Learn More or Contact Us. The form's own submit reads GET FREE CASE EVALUATION. Write your ask once.
Nobody reaches the button without writing an essay about the worst thing happening in their life. The confidentiality note is a good touch and it does not fix the ask. Make the story box optional, take the name and the number, and get the rest on the phone.
A full row of gold stars, the platform named, and that is the lot. No score, no review count, nothing to click through to. Named client reviews with stars sit further down the page, which makes the empty badge stranger. Print the count and link the badge.
This one is a marketplace rather than a firm, and it sells on money where the law firms sell on trust. The hero asks for a city or a ZIP code and nothing else, the line above the box promises a free consultation, and the white band under the hero carries the fee range, the time it takes to get connected and the payment plans. Legal help you can afford is a different promise from the best lawyer in the state, and the page never wobbles off it.
Lead with the price comparison: 'Exposed: Why Legal Help Does NOT Have To Cost $5,000 - $10,000' directly above a zip code search form. This instantly reframes the visitor's expectation from 'can I afford a lawyer' to 'I can definitely afford THIS.'
One adjective sits in the headline itself, with the fee range banded under the hero in plain sight. Most people searching for a family lawyer have already decided they cannot afford one. If your price beats what they imagine, put it where they cannot miss it.
No name, no email, no phone, just the box and an arrow. A national service reads as a local one the moment it asks for your town first. If you need contact details, take them on the next screen, after the visitor has committed to something small.
Faces, a count and a start date land where somebody decides whether to type. Press logos follow. Neither is a review, and both answer what a review answers. Put your client count beside your form rather than on your About page.
Past the steps, the press logos, the service cards and the video, the page turns into joint custody, decision-making rights and what a court weighs up, finishing on a Read more link. It serves a researcher, and your ad brought a buyer. Move it to a blog post.
The only button on the first screen is a square with an arrow in it. Every other button down the page says Find a Lawyer Now, so the one people reach first says the least. An arrow tells somebody the box works. It says nothing about what happens next.
Blood Law puts a score and a row of gold stars in a white strip directly under the hero, which is rare in this file and is what earned the slot. The phone number sits top right in white type you could read across a room, and the hero repeats it as a button with a Text Us button beside it. Then a chat panel opens on arrival, parks over the right third of the page they paid to send people to, and cuts the end off their own review count.
Use the '/lpai/' (landing page AI) approach to generate city-specific PPC pages with a consistent template: hero with firm name + CTA form, 3-step process visualization, why-choose-us section, and FAQ. The URL path suggests this page is programmatically generated, allowing the firm to scale across cities.
Call Today and the number sit top right in white type you could read across a room, and the hero repeats the number as a button with a text option beside it. Family law is a phone purchase for most people. Small and grey in a corner is a decision.
A white strip directly beneath carries them with the review count beside, and that is the trust argument made before anybody scrolls. Then their own chat panel lands on the strip and cuts the count off mid-word. Move your reviews up, then check nothing sits on them.
Every one shows the Google mark in a corner, with a date, gold stars and the reviewer's full name. A wall of unattributed praise asks to be believed. A card with a name and a source can be checked. Pull yours from the platform they were left on.
It opens by itself across the right third, with a second row of Text, Call, Email and Chat buttons pinned under it. On our capture it covered the end of the headline and the subhead. Set your widget to start collapsed and keep it off the top.
It asks a first name, a last name, a phone, an email, an address, whether you are a new client and what you need, before anybody has spoken to you. It is the only page here asking a street, about a divorce. Take the name and the number.
Pages that break the playbook in interesting ways
Replace your traditional intake form with a chat interface that lets visitors type their question and get matched with a lawyer immediately. AskALawyerOnCall positions the entire experience as 'Chat with a Family Lawyer for personalized help' - the conversion mechanism IS the value proposition.
'Chat with a Family Lawyer for personalized help' positions the service as conversational and immediate rather than formal and delayed - this appeals to the large segment of divorce-seekers who want quick answers before committing to a consultation
Feature grid ('Unlimited questions, anytime', 'With our Legal Experts', 'Whatever you need') uses consumer-tech UX patterns that feel familiar to visitors used to messaging apps
'When you can't afford to be wrong' section addresses the core fear of DIY divorce - making an irreversible mistake - and positions lawyer access as insurance against costly errors
The chat interface above the fold may confuse visitors who expect a traditional law firm page - 'is this a chatbot or a real lawyer?' is not immediately clear
Stock photography of diverse professionals and legal settings feels generic - no specific attorneys or firm identity is established
Embed a full-length consultation video as the hero element, with a video transcript below. This page bets everything on the attorney's on-camera presence and expertise to build trust. If the attorney is compelling on video, this approach may convert better than any amount of text.
A 'Free Consultation With a Divorce Attorney in Florida' video as the hero element lets visitors evaluate the attorney's personality, expertise, and communication style before making a call - this is the closest thing to meeting the lawyer without actually visiting the office
Full video transcript below the embed serves dual purpose: accessibility for visitors who cannot play video, and SEO value for the page's organic ranking
If the video does not autoplay or the visitor cannot watch it (at work, on mute, slow connection), the page has almost nothing else - no text-based value proposition, no form, no pricing
The page puts all its conversion eggs in one basket - the video. If a visitor does not watch the video, they get a transcript and some sidebar links but no compelling reason to call
The same questions asked of every winner, so you can find the page that matches the traffic you are already buying.

Read the keyword before you read the row. Somebody typing a firm name and a town is already choosing, so they want a phone number, a person and a price. Somebody typing divorce lawyer near me is still working out whether they can afford this at all, and the pages that answer the money question first are the ones they stay on. You paid the same for both clicks, and they each need a different row.
Lines lifted word for word from the pages above. We tell you whose page each one came from, and one click copies it.

3 pages burning ad spend with fundamental issues
Every click to these pages costs real money. We found missing reviews, pages that don't match the search, weak CTAs, and messaging that ignores what the searcher actually typed. Here is what to avoid.
This page targets 'good lawyers for divorce' (SV: 2,400) but sends visitors to a full-website service page with top navigation, sidebar, footer links, and dense paragraphs of text about divorce law concepts. The 'Our Practice Areas' section includes links to 8 other services. At divorce attorney CPCs ($25-50), every click that navigates to 'Child Custody' or 'Business Law' instead of converting is wasted spend.
Full website navigation with links to 8+ other practice areas bleeds paid traffic to non-converting pages
Dense paragraphs of legal text above the fold read like a blog post, not a conversion page - visitors searching for 'good lawyers for divorce' want to find and contact a good lawyer, not read about what divorce entails
The first visible CTA is buried below multiple paragraphs of text - by the time a visitor reaches it, they have either left or navigated elsewhere
The ad targets 'divorce in the state of virginia' but the landing page is a 2,000+ word blog article titled 'Everything You Need to Know Before Getting Divorced in Virginia.' The page has no form, no pricing, no CTA above the fold. Visitors who are ready to start their divorce (the paid search intent) get an encyclopedia article instead. The HelloDivorce platform has actual product pages with pricing and checkout - this blog post should not be receiving paid traffic.
This is a blog post, not a landing page - full site navigation, sidebar content links, and nothing above the fold that asks the visitor to act
The page is optimized for SEO (long-form content, internal links, keyword density) but terrible for PPC (no form, no pricing, no reason to act now)
The HelloDivorce brand promise (fast, affordable online divorce) is invisible - a visitor would not know this company sells a product rather than publishing legal advice
This page targets 'divorce attorneys in OKC' (SV: 3,600) but presents a 2005-era website design with dark red borders, clip art of a gavel, and walls of text about 'uncontested grounds of divorce' and 'irreconcilable differences.' The sidebar shows attorney headshots but they are small and buried. At OKC divorce CPCs ($20-35), this page is losing to every modern competitor in the SERP.
The design is at least 15 years old - dark red borders, gradient backgrounds, small fonts, and clip art communicate 'we have not updated our marketing since 2005'
Dense paragraphs about legal concepts (grounds for divorce, dissolution procedures) read like a law textbook, not a conversion page for someone looking to hire an attorney
The contact form in the sidebar competes with the content and is easy to miss - it is not visually differentiated from the surrounding content
The strongest pages show exact dollar amounts: thelawinmemphis.com lists three tiers ($1,500/$2,500/$5,000+ retainer with monthly costs), and burnhamlaw.com anchors with a bold 'Colorado's #1 Divorce Lawyer' claim paired with a visible phone number. Divorce clients are price-shopping because they know it will be expensive but not how expensive. Hiding pricing behind a 'free consultation' creates the suspicion that the consultation is really a sales pitch to lock you into an open-ended retainer.
hellodivorce.com, askalawyeroncall.com, and family.unbundledlegalhelp.com all offer alternatives to full-service representation: DIY divorce packages, pay-per-question lawyer chats, and unbundled (task-based) legal help. These platforms are bidding on the same divorce keywords as traditional firms but converting at lower price points ($500-$1,500 vs $5,000-$15,000). They are winning the 'affordable divorce' segment that traditional firms ignore.
burnhamlaw.com/divorce-lawyer-ppc and law.cordellcordell.com/ppc/ both use dedicated, navigation-stripped landing pages with intake forms above the fold. These convert better than pages like hopelawfirm.com and egllaw.com that send paid traffic to full-website service pages with top navigation, sidebars, and links to other practice areas. Every navigation link on a paid landing page is a leak in the conversion funnel.
Every winning page shows at least one named attorney with a real photo. The Cordell & Cordell pages show entire local teams (3-4 attorneys per office). blood-law.com and law.nebraskalegalgroup.com both show team photos with credentials. For a decision as personal as choosing a divorce attorney, visitors need to see who they will be working with before they will pick up the phone.
Winners use dedicated PPC landing pages stripped of navigation, with intake forms or phone numbers above the fold, named attorneys with photos, and either transparent pricing or a clearly valuable free first step (case evaluation, not 'consultation'). Losers send paid traffic to blog posts about legal concepts, full-website service pages with navigation menus and links to other practice areas, or pages with no visible conversion path above the fold.
Two fears turn up on every one of these pages: what will this cost me, and who am I actually handing my family to. The winners answer at least one of them in the first screen. The losers answer neither and ask for your details instead.
Put a figure on the page, even a range. Most of this file will not tell you what a divorce costs. Becker Law Firm prints a retainer and a monthly payment on every tier card. Unbundled Legal Help bands a starting range under its hero, in a strip you cannot miss. Everybody else leaves you guessing. Your prospect is not deciding between you and the firm across town. They are deciding whether they can afford a lawyer at all, and silence reads as expensive.
Name a rating body somebody can go and check. A security seal says your connection is encrypted. Google, Avvo and a state bar admission say somebody outside your building has checked you. Nebraska Legal Group names Google and Avvo in its header. Cordell & Cordell lists the states each attorney is admitted in, down in the footer disclaimer. Hardly anybody else does either, so the ground is cheap and almost nobody is standing on it.
Get the pop-up and the chat box out of the hero. A couple of these pages cover their own first screen the moment it loads, a qualifier box on top of the hero here and a chat panel over the right third there. We sat with the screenshots and still could not read what either hero promises. Your visitor will not work around it. They will go back to the search results, and you paid for that click.
Cut the form to what a callback needs. Becker Law Firm takes a name, an email and a message, and asks for nothing else. Blood Law asks for a street address before anybody has spoken to a human, on a page about a divorce. A street address narrows nothing your intake team cannot ask for on the phone, and asking for it is the moment a nervous visitor closes the tab.
Every line below came off a screenshot somebody sat and counted. Open your own page beside it and tick what it already does.
thelawinmemphis.com is one of the 6 winners here, and it prints the retainer right on the page: $1,500, $2,500, $5,000+. Your page probably still says free consultation, so the money question stays open until the call. And a divorce click costs you $25-50. Postclick reads your page the way a first-time visitor reads it, and names what's stopping the call. Then it designs new versions as real images and builds the one you pick.
