A Google search for the term “medical malpractice attorneys near me” will result in “Sponsored” results at the top of the search results. What are Sponsored results? Google’s AI response to that question is telling: “Google sponsored results are paid advertisements that appear on the Google Search Engine Results Page (SERP). Sponsored results are usually labeled as “Sponsored” or “Ad” and appear at the top or bottom of the SERP. They may also have a shaded background to differentiate them from organic results. Advertisers bid on the placement of their ads through an auction system. The highest bidder gets a higher ad position. Google takes money each time someone clicks on an advertiser’s link. There are several types of sponsored results, including shopping ads, image ads, and video ads.”
There is nothing wrong with paid advertising – the largest companies pay millions every year for advertising; they would not pay if the ads were not effective in drawing traffic to their websites. However, anyone can advertise on Google’s search engine – if you have the money, you can “sponsor” (pay) for an ad.
One of the most expensive categories of Google Ads is for medical malpractice lawyers. If you click on the first listed sponsored medical malpractice lawyer ad, that medical malpractice lawyer is likely being charged hundreds of dollars for your click, whether you hire that lawyer or not, whether that lawyer has the experience and knowledge you are looking for or not, whether that lawyer is a specialized “medical malpractice lawyer” or a jack-of-all-trades, or whether that lawyer is appropriate to represent you in your medical malpractice case or not.
Would you hire a surgeon to perform delicate surgery on you or a loved one based solely on a Google Sponsored ad? Your answer is most likely “no.” Likewise, a medical malpractice lawyer (or a medical malpractice law firm) who pays the highest price for a Google Ad may not be the lawyer you want to handle your claim.
