The Problem
Poor Positioning in a Trust-Driven Market
Website was a basic one-page landing page with minimal credibility signaling.
Messaging failed to communicate expertise, track record, or authority in injury law.
Firm's 20+ year history and $28.6M+ in verdicts were not prominently featured.
~0
High-intent qualified leads from digital channels
No credibility signals.
No authority messaging.
No lead qualification system.
Poor analytics tracking prevented understanding of lead quality or conversion performance.
Online presence didn't reflect the firm's community ties and charitable involvement.

3-Year Google Ads Suspension
The Crisis That Almost Derailed Launch
-
When TJ Branding began onboarding Ohliger Injury Law for paid search campaigns, we discovered a critical obstacle: the firm's Google Ads account had been suspended three years prior due to a payment issue. The account remained flagged and unreachable.
-
Without a functioning Google Ads account, we couldn't drive high-intent traffic to the newly rebuilt website at launch. This threatened the entire campaign strategy and timeline.
Challenge:
Suspended account from 3 years of non-payment and legal status verification issues blocked campaign launch.
Process:
3 weeks of direct Google support engagement, business verification reviews, legal documentation, and account appeals.
Resolution:
Account successfully recovered, reactivated, and optimized with new strategy and website targeting.
Result:
Within 1.5 months post-launch: 5,000+ impressions, 3.8% CTR, 111% increase in qualified case inquiries.

The Strategic Shifts That Unlocked Growth
01.
Authority-First Positioning
From generic legal site to credibility-focused authority hub
By repositioning the brand around 20+ years of experience and $28.6M+ in results, Ohliger transformed from an invisible online presence to a trusted, credible firm. The website now told the story of expertise and results upfront.
02.
Analytics-Driven Optimization
From guessing to measurable lead quality
Implementing GA4 tracking revealed which traffic was qualified, which pages converted, and which inquiries fit the practice. This data-driven approach enabled targeted pre-qualification and meaningful optimization.
03.
Recovered Paid Search
From zero high-intent traffic to 5K+ targeted impressions
Recovering the suspended Google Ads account and launching a strategic paid search campaign created a direct line to high-intent prospective clients. The 3.8% CTR on premium keywords proved strong market demand for qualified representation.
"I hate nothing more than using Google to market my business. I'm beyond grateful for the TJ Branding team and their know how to troubleshoot and solve the complicated issues you don't have time to think about."

Why This Matters for Professional Services Firms
If you're an established legal practice, consulting firm, or professional service business with strong credibility but weak digital presence, this case study proves the opportunity cost of online invisibility. Ohliger Injury Law had 20+ years of excellent results but was competing like a startup online.
The story here isn't about inventing credibility—it's about properly communicating what you've already accomplished. A premium website that tells your story, analytics tracking that measures real performance, and strategic paid search that captures high-intent prospects unlocked substantial lead flow in just 90 days.
