Client Profile
A UK-based family law firm operating on a "no-win-no-fee" model. Prior to partnering with Ascendia Prime, the firm had established a solid client base but faced limitations in reaching new markets and maximizing conversions online.
Key Challenges
Stagnating Growth: Revenue and client volume had plateaued despite consistent investment in PPC and press advertising.
Generic Strategies: The firm's digital tactics didn’t reflect the emotional, highly personal nature of family law clients.
Fragmented Funnel Experience: Marketing and website follow-through were disconnected, causing drop-offs in lead conversion.
Insufficient Technical Expertise: Lack of internal resources to implement advanced tracking, automation, or creative testing.
Ascendia’s Tailored Strategy
1. Intent-Driven Targeting & Messaging
Built empathetic buyer personas such as “recent divorcees exploring options” and “parents in custody disputes.”
Used Ascendia’s Intent Scoring Algorithm to focus on long-tail search terms like “no-win-no-fee custody lawyer”—critical in law firm growth
2. Technical Integration & Conversion Tracking
Implemented full-funnel tracking: click → website behaviour → consultation booking.
Launched chatbots for instant engagement with emotionally charged, fee-sensitive audiences.
3. Multichannel Campaign Optimization
A/B tested landing pages addressing specific family law scenarios.
Activated Affinity-based affiliates and contextually relevant publishers.
Deployed retargeting for visitors who didn’t convert on first visit.
4. Weekly Agile Review
Weekly stand-up calls reviewed campaign performance and emotional hooks.
Continuous creative iteration led to more resonant messaging with reflecting real use cases.
