Investment fraud searches have no "near me." National strategy needs a different agency.
We run paid media exclusively for legal firms — and we've spent two years specifically in investment fraud, securities, and stockbroker misconduct. PPC built to clear Google's securities review, broker-name targeting that other agencies can't operate, and attribution all the way to retainer signed.

Investment fraud isn't "another legal vertical."
It's a national practice with a small intent pool, a high-AOV case mix, and a Google ads category that gets aggressively flagged. Generic legal-marketing agencies run it like personal injury — and burn your spend learning that it isn't.
Securities ad disapprovals.
"Recover your money" language gets your ads flagged. "Sue your broker" gets you suspended. Most agencies don't know what's allowed in the Financial Products & Services category — and your campaign sits in review while spend bleeds.
National strategy, local thinking.
Investment fraud is searched nationally — but agencies still try to bid on "stockbroker fraud attorney near me." Wrong. The CPL math is different, the audience pool is smaller, the conversion windows are longer. You need someone who's done it before.
No case-value intelligence.
A $50K loss prospect and a $4M loss prospect cost about the same to acquire — and yet your agency reports them as identical "leads." Without intake-grade scoring tied to loss thresholds, you're optimizing for volume in a vertical that lives on AOV.
14 months. 3 campaign types.
One firm that keeps scaling with us.
Patil Law signed in early 2025 on a discounted fee. In March 2026, they renewed at full price.
That's the trust signal. No 12-month lock-in held them — Chetan kept going because the numbers kept improving. CPL dropped from $205 in January to $109 by May. The investment-fraud-attorney keyword campaign now converts at 21.5%, more than double the legal-vertical benchmark.
What's running: a core investment fraud campaign, a brokerage-fraud campaign, and broker-name campaigns built for specific actors (Tunink, Cohen, others) — each with its own dedicated landing page, lead form qualification tied to loss thresholds, and signed-case feedback flowing back into HubSpot.
When Patil's website got hit with a malware injection in January, we caught it before it impacted ad serving. When his credit card declined on Google in April, we sorted it before campaigns paused. That's the day-to-day. The numbers are downstream of the relationship.

PPC + Meta, built for securities-grade intent.
Investment fraud doesn't run on LSA at scale (the categories are too narrow). PPC carries the volume, Meta surfaces the unaware prospect, and the whole thing has to clear Google's securities ad review on day one — or you're not advertising at all.
Six layers, tuned specifically for IF. Same architecture across every client; the parameters are what change.
Securities-compliant ad copy from day one
We know what gets approved and what gets your account flagged. Years of running campaigns in Google's Financial Products & Services category means we ship ads that clear review on the first submission — not the fifth.
Broker-name & case-specific campaigns
One core campaign isn't enough. We build dedicated structures for stockbroker fraud, brokerage fraud, FINRA arbitration, Ponzi recovery, and individual broker-name targeting when there's news demand. Each gets its own ad copy, landing page, and lead form.
Loss-threshold lead qualification
Your $50K-loss prospect and your $4M-loss prospect look identical in Google Analytics. Not to us. We score leads against loss amount, broker involved, jurisdiction, and case viability — and feed only the high-AOV qualified leads back to Google for bid optimization.
Meta surface + conditional lead forms
Most IF prospects don't search Google first — they scroll Facebook after seeing a news story about their broker. Our Meta lead forms screen by case type (stockbroker, Ponzi, crypto fraud), verify contact info, and route only contactable leads to your CRM.
Call tracking & retainer-stage attribution
CallRail dynamic numbers across every campaign. Lead lifecycle in HubSpot from inquiry → consultation → retainer signed → settlement. You'll know which keyword produced your last $4M case — not just "high-quality lead, source: Google."
Weekly written briefs, monthly strategy
Every week, a real person writes you a paragraph explaining what moved and why. Every month, we look at campaign-level case attribution and decide what to scale, what to pause, and what new broker or fraud type to test next. You'll always know what we'd do with another $5K.
Numbers from actual IF accounts.
Not stock screenshots.
From live or recently-active investment fraud accounts. National practices, mid-five to high-six figure monthly spends, all tracked back to consultation and retainer wherever the firm's intake supports it.

If you run an IF firm — these will sound familiar.

Will Google approve our ads?
Yes — and that's not a guess. We've shipped securities ads for IF firms continuously for two years. The Financial Products & Services category has specific language constraints; we know what triggers an automatic flag and what survives manual review. If something does get disapproved, we appeal and rewrite — typically resolved within 24–48 hours. We don't blame Google. We just navigate it.
What budget do we need to see real movement?
$5K/month is the operational minimum for a single PPC campaign — below that, Google's algorithm doesn't have enough data to optimize. For IF specifically, we see meaningful signal at $7.5K–$10K per campaign, with the most predictable results in the $15K–$30K/month range across 2–3 campaign types (core IF + brokerage fraud + a broker-name campaign when news warrants).
Can you target specific brokers by name?
Yes — and we do it regularly. When a broker hits the news (FINRA action, fraud charges, recent settlement), we can have a dedicated campaign live within 48 hours: keyword targeting on the broker's name and firm, custom landing page explaining the situation, lead form qualifying for affected investors. We've done this with multiple specific actors. The blog post connecting it on your site matters; we'll coordinate with your content team or web developer.
How do you handle loss-amount qualification?
Loss threshold is part of every lead form. We disqualify or route low-AOV leads (under your firm's minimum, typically $100K–$250K for traditional IF) before they hit your intake team. Higher-loss leads get fast-tracked — confirmation email, scheduling link, call routing all happen automatically. The result: your team doesn't waste time on inquiries below your case viability threshold.
What about crypto fraud cases?
Mixed. Crypto fraud searches have high volume but typically lower per-case viability (jurisdiction issues, asset recovery challenges, hourly-billing requirements many firms don't want). We've worked with clients who pivoted away from crypto to traditional IF because the unit economics were better. If you want to run crypto, we'll segment it into its own campaign with hourly-billing disclosure baked into the lead form — so you're not closing crypto leads expecting contingency.
I'm already running with another agency. How does the transition work?
30 days' notice to your current vendor. During that window we take ownership of your Google Ads, GA4, GTM, HubSpot, and CallRail accounts (always in your name from day one going forward), audit existing campaign structure (usually rebuilt from scratch — securities ad fluency is rare), and stage new campaigns. Day 31, we go live. No double-spend month. We've migrated several firms off ineffective agencies.
How long until I see signed retainers?
First qualified leads: typically week 2 once campaigns clear review. First signed retainer: highly variable in IF because your sales cycle from inquiry to retainer can run weeks (statements review, FINRA check, fee agreement). We start optimizing on signed-retainer attribution at month 2–3 when there's enough data. The CPL improvement compounds month over month — Patil Law's CPL dropped 47% across the first 5 months.
Who exactly will I be working with?
You'll meet Davor (founder) on the intro call, and he stays on every account. Day-to-day you'll work with him plus a senior media buyer on your campaigns. Total team you'll interact with: 2–3 people, same every week. No account manager rotation.
Let's see if your numbers look anything like Patil's.
30 minutes with the founder. No deck. We'll look at your last 90 days of spend, your campaign structure, your loss-threshold mix, and your retainer pipeline — and tell you, honestly, what we'd run differently and whether we'd take you on.
