In the current competitive legal landscape, law firms face increasing pressure to market themselves effectively while still delivering high-quality legal services.
For one midsize law firm, the strain of juggling client work and overseeing the marketing strategy was preventing the managing partner from focusing on what the organization needed most.
That’s when the Systems Process People (SPP) team stepped in, offering a fresh perspective, a data-driven assessment, and a clear pathway to transformation.
The managing partner, a seasoned attorney with deep legal expertise but limited time, found himself increasingly pulled into marketing conversations, managing vendors, and troubleshooting marketing ad campaigns; none of which aligned with his busy schedule or expertise. Marketing results were found to be inconsistent and lacked transparency, leaving the managing partner searching for answers.
Recognizing the need for clarity, the firm brought in our team, Systems Process People (SPP) to review the current marketing efforts with hopes of increasing operational efficiency.
We began by building the A-Team. Specially, we brought in an SEO expert and a Google guru to round out the team. This newly formed taskforce meant we had all the bases covered with seasoned experience across systems. The joint team, led by SPP, conducted a comprehensive audit of the firm’s current data and marketing efforts. We examined key performance indicators, campaign strategies, digital presence, and client acquisition pipelines. With no preconceived notions, the numbers did the talking.
What we uncovered was eye-opening. The numbers highlighted the need to optimize lead management, revealed gaps in ad strategy effectiveness, and showed that existing reporting wasn’t telling the full story.
To ensure we weren’t only identifying the issue and offering a critique, we studied the results and provided solutions. SPP, coupled with our trusted group of marketing professionals, meant there was a team of experts in SEO, content strategy, digital advertising, and legal branding. Together we aligned our focus into one team, working as a cohesive extension of the law firm, crafting a marketing roadmap tailored to the firm’s goals and values.
The transformation from this team included:
A unique part of this story is that the joint team worked together under one umbrella, each focusing on their respective areas of expertise, to provide a united and collaborative strategy without disrupting current business. With SPP leading the management of this team, we streamlined communication with the Managing Partner to a single point of contact, reducing the burden of having to manage all three teams in separate silos.
With the right team and plan in place, the law firm has started to see improvements in targeted engagement. Ads were refined and retargeted to maximize efficiency—reducing overall ad spend by 10-15% while significantly boosting performance across key metrics. Leads increased nearly 40%, bringing in more quality prospects and resulting in a higher client conversion rate. But perhaps the most important outcome? The managing partner was able to find time again to focus fully on leading the firm and delivering exceptional client outcomes.
The firm now has a greater understanding of the current strategy and the actionable and collaborative efforts being executed. Measurable results are being clearly communicated back to the team on a regular and consistent basis. With the clear flow of communication, the managing partner can finally refocus on what he does best—leading the firm, managing client relationships, and steering long-term strategy—without being pulled into day-to-day marketing.
The partnership between the SPP-curated team and the law firm established more than just a marketing solution: it created a foundation for long-term, sustainable growth. By bringing in trusted experts and streamlining execution through a unified approach, the firm gained clarity, efficiency, and momentum.
“Partnering with SPP was a turning point for our firm. Together with their team of seasoned experts, they took the time to understand our challenges and helped bring clarity and solutions to help grow our business. We’re grateful to work with a trusted team who puts our business first.”
