Win more cases from the clients who search in Spanish

For firms whose lawyers or staff already serve clients in Spanish, or offer translation. Your clients search, ask AI, and read reviews in their own language. As your Fractional CMO, I build the Spanish pages, video, and ads that bring them to your firm, and measure every one to the signed client.

Of 18 injury firms we checked, only 4 said "Spanish" on the homepage itself.

/ What firms serving Spanish speakers are up against

Your clients ask in Spanish, and few firms answer them there

Spanish-speaking clients search in Spanish, often mixing in English, as in abogados de accidentes near me. They put their questions to Google and ChatGPT in Spanish and get answers in Spanish. A firm that serves them well in person but markets only in English leaves those answers to other people's pages.

The answers

Asked in Spanish, Google and ChatGPT answer in Spanish

Ask Google or ChatGPT about a legal problem in Spanish and the answer comes back in Spanish, and when it names firms, it names the ones whose pages say, in Spanish, what they handle.

The websites

Few of the injury firms we checked say "Spanish" on the homepage

Some of the firms we checked had Spanish pages further in, behind a homepage that never mentioned them. A client who searches in Spanish, or an AI answering one, can't tell your firm speaks Spanish if the site doesn't say it up front.

The phone

Unreturned calls top the complaints, in Spanish too

In the Spanish reviews we read, people said the same two things English-speaking clients say most: nobody answers or calls back, and the case gets dropped. Spanish marketing works only when someone at the firm answers in Spanish and keeps the client informed.

Spanish pages, video, and ads that help your clients find you

  1. Spanish pages for the situations you handle

    One page for each situation your firm handles and wants more of, written in Spanish for the person in it and paired with its English version. These are the pages Google's AI and ChatGPT can draw on when someone asks in Spanish.

    Blogs and situation pagesAI search optimization
  2. Spanish video and social

    Short videos with your lawyers or your Spanish-speaking staff, with Spanish captions, and posts in Spanish, each pointing to a guide the viewer can take with them.

    Video marketingSocial media marketing
  3. Spanish ads and follow-up

    Google and Meta ads in Spanish that offer something useful first, Spanish landing pages, and follow-up emails in Spanish while the person decides.

    Facebook and Instagram adsGoogle Ads
  4. Measurement by signed client

    Spanish campaigns are counted the same way as the rest of your marketing, by the clients who sign and what each one costs, so you can see what the Spanish work returns.

    What your firm brings: lawyers or staff who can answer calls and messages in Spanish, or a translator. Your lawyers run the consultations. If qualified leads are slipping away between the first call and the signed engagement, I find where, and train your intake and sales team to sign more of them. → Intake consulting and training

/ Where Spanish is strongest

Spanish injury searches are real, the ads are crowded, and the answers are open

What injured people search. Spanish injury searches add up to as many as 65,000 a month in the US. abogados de accidentes near me alone gets about 22,200, abogado de accidentes about 6,600, and abogados de accidentes de trabajo about 1,900. Bids run about the same as in English, and work injuries are a bigger share of the Spanish searches than of the English ones.¹

What firms run. One Spanish injury search in Meta's ad library returned about 1,100 results, from firms and lead-style pages alike.² The ads lean on reassurance about immigration status, chat and WhatsApp, and work injuries, and some come from persona brands or lead-style pages that don't read as law firms.

What Google and ChatGPT answered. Asked in Spanish about a crash in New York and an insurer that wouldn't pay, Google's AI answered in Spanish and cited a bar association's and a legal directory's Spanish pages, without naming a firm. ChatGPT answered in Spanish and named no Spanish-speaking lawyer. Asked which Los Angeles malpractice lawyer speaks Spanish, for a baby with cerebral palsy, Google named 4 firms, and each had a Spanish page for that exact injury. ChatGPT also named 4 firms, each for its Spanish service. Spanish-language malpractice searches are small, about 3,800 a month across all their wordings, so here I'd put the AI answers ahead of the ads.¹

What it means for a PI firm that serves Spanish-speaking families: Spanish pages for the injuries you handle, work injuries and third-party claims among them; Spanish video; ads that offer something useful first; and a team that answers and keeps clients informed in Spanish. → Personal injury marketing · Catastrophic and medical injury cases

/ Solid searches, lower bids

Steady Spanish family searches, at about half the English bids

abogado de familia gets about 8,100 searches a month in the US, abogado de divorcio about 5,400, and abogados de familia cerca de mi about 3,600. The top bids run about half of English, roughly $10 to $20 against $30 to $39.¹ For a family firm that serves Spanish-speaking clients, that means Spanish guides and pages for the situations families face, Spanish ads that offer them first, and follow-up in Spanish while the family decides.

Other practices

  • Business law

    Spanish business searches are small: registro de marca gets about 320 a month, como abrir una llc about 260, and abogado de negocios about 210.¹ For a firm that serves Spanish-speaking business owners, a few Spanish pages on forming a company and registering a trademark are the place to start.

    Business law marketing
  • Estate planning

    Also small, led by poder notarial at about 590 a month and abogado de herencias at about 320.¹ Spanish pages on powers of attorney and inheritances come first.

    Estate planning marketing
  • Elder law

    Spanish elder-law searches are near zero, so the Spanish work here is a page or two for the families you already serve.

FAQ

Will this work for my practice area?

The system is based on best practices that work across industries, so it adapts to any practice area with customized resources and messaging for your specific clients.

Who writes and checks the Spanish?

Aquila writes it for the person reading it, and every page, ad, and email is reviewed for natural, native Spanish before it runs. You approve each piece before it goes live.

Do we need bilingual lawyers, or is translation enough?

Either can work. What counts is that a Spanish-speaking client who calls, messages, or comes in can be helped in Spanish and kept informed. Before we build Spanish marketing, we'll look at who at your firm can answer.

Spanish pages on our site, or a separate Spanish site?

Either can work. It depends on your firm's situation and strategy: how many of your clients speak Spanish, which practices you want to grow in Spanish, and how your firm serves those clients today. We'll look at that in your assessment and decide together.

Can our intake keep up?

That's the first thing to check, because every call and message a Spanish ad brings has to be answered in Spanish. I'll find where qualified leads are being lost and train your intake team to sign more of them.

Intake consulting and training
What does it cost?
