Average CPC
USD 9.21

US legal search CPC sits at $9.21, the highest of any vertical. Personal injury, family law, immigration, and business litigation — every paid click is more expensive and less profitable each year. RSF audits which firms AI engines surface for high-intent legal queries in your jurisdiction, then implements the schema, entity, and authority work that puts your firm in the AI-generated short-list.
