482. $1,000 Cost Per Case on ChatGPT Ads: How Rankings.io's Beta Tests Beat Google PPC
Sep 17, 202623 min
PI firms are paying thousands per signed case on traditional paid search. Rankings.io’s early ChatGPT Ads tests have already produced an auto case at roughly $1,000—showing the unique economics of this new channel. Jessica Ford is Director of Paid Ads at Rankings.io, where she leads a team of legal-specialized advertisers and oversees paid advertising strategy across channels. With more than nine years of experience in digital advertising, she specializes in lead generation and helping businesses turn paid media into measurable growth. Her team began testing ChatGPT Ads for PI firms during OpenAI's early legal pilot, months before the platform formally updated its policy to allow legal advertising on a case-by-case basis. In this episode, Jessica joins Chris Dreyer to share what those early tests reveal about ChatGPT Ads for personal injury firms. They examine targeting controls, compliance problems, educational landing pages that convert above 5%, and the enormous range they see in cost per signed case. Jessica also compares ChatGPT's contextual ad model with Google's AI Max—and explains why one currently has a much stronger case for your next experimental ad dollar. You'll learn: What early ChatGPT Ads cost-per-case data reveals for personal injury firms. The targeting and bidding controls available inside ChatGPT's emerging ad platform. Which legal landing page formats reach 5%+ lead conversion rates. What keeps PI ads from spending—and the compliance issues triggering disapprovals. Where ChatGPT Ads and Google's AI Max fit into a PI firm's paid search budget.

481. 7 Red Flags Your Marketing Agency Is Wasting Your Budget (And 5 Signs They're Not)
Sep 16, 202621 min
You write a $10K, $20K, maybe $50K check to your agency every month. Do those dollars produce signed cases, or just better-looking reports? In this solo episode, Chris Dreyer, CEO of Rankings.io, breaks down the red and green flags hiding inside your agency calls, reports, contracts, and strategy. He gets into the difference between metrics that predict performance and metrics that distract from it, why an agency needs visibility into your CRM and intake process, and what transparency looks like when results don't go according to plan. He also explains when impressions actually are the right metric and why the answer depends on whether you create demand or capture it. You'll learn: Which law firm marketing metrics should connect agency performance to signed cases and case value. The questions PI firm owners should ask when rankings improve but quality cases don't follow. When impressions and engagement are meaningful KPIs—and when they can distract from return on investment. Why understanding intake capacity and wanted conversion rates is a green flag when evaluating a marketing agency.

Kelley founded and owns The Spinal Cord Injury Law Firm, a D.C.-based practice representing people with catastrophic injuries nationwide.

Sep 8, 202626 min
Winning your client $10 million doesn't necessarily mean you delivered $10 million in value. In certain taxable settlements, an overlooked tax issue can leave a plaintiff writing a seven-figure check to the IRS after the case closes—and by then, the opportunity to address it may disappear. Rachel Sampsell is Chief Trust Officer and Industry Educator at Eastern Point Trust Company, which has administered more than $25 billion in recoveries across more than 6,000 trusts. She has made educating plaintiff attorneys about the attorney fee double-tax issue a major focus of her work, speaking about settlement planning at events including MTMP and Trial Lawyers University. In this episode, Rachel joins Chris Dreyer to examine what happens between winning the case and getting the recovery safely into your client's hands. They discuss Qualified Settlement Funds, the tax implications of certain non-physical injury settlements, why timing changes the options available to a plaintiff, and how paralegals can become early issue spotters before the parties finalize settlement documents. You'll learn: When a Qualified Settlement Fund can help PI firms manage disbursements, liens, and post-settlement administration. Which taxable settlement components should prompt attorneys to bring in a tax or settlement planning expert. The critical timing difference between setting up a QSF and addressing the plaintiff attorney fee double-tax issue. How paralegals can flag settlement tax issues before the firm loses the opportunity to address them. Where settlement planning can preserve client value beyond the dollar amount negotiated in the case. Head over to Rankings.io to see for yourself how we can help take your business to the next level.

Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
