Scroll down to the box to "Calculate Your Budget" and enter:
- Your client's zip code
- 1 Lead Per Month
- Their Practice Area
Once you receive the price range, do the following:
- Determine the Average Price (Between the High and Low Number)
- Take that Number times 3 to determine the Minimum Weekly Budget
- Take that number times 4 to determine the Minimum Monthly Budget
If the Minimum Monthly Budget is Greater than the Minimum spend level for the LCP level your client selected, inform them that their LSA spend should increase to support this total.
EXAMPLE:
Zip: 85251
Practice Area: Personal Injury
Average Price Per Lead: $188 [(150 + 225) / 2]
Total Monthly Minimum LSA Spend: $2,256 (188 x 3 x 4)
If they Bought LSA GOLD, which has a base LSA spend of $1K/mo., they should add $1,256 to their monthly budget to meet the minimum weekly spend levels in Google ($2,256 - $1K)
