At a Glance
What this guide helps you decide.
A strong 90-day PI marketing plan starts by establishing measurement and intake baselines, then sequences high-intent demand capture, landing-page and reputation improvements, outcome feedback, and weekly governance around qualified opportunities and signed-case learning.
Three things to retain

- High-intent demand, intake readiness, reviews, landing pages, and attribution must be managed together.
- A weekly decision rhythm is the difference between a plan and a list of tactics.

Shared Definitions
Terms used in this guide
- Lead
- A raw contact created during the plan.
- Qualified opportunity
- A screened contact that deserves a next step.
- Consultation
- A scheduled or completed review step.
- Accepted case
- A matter the firm elects to pursue after review.
- Signed case
- A retained matter under the firm's agreement process.
- Attributed case
- A signed case connected to a source under documented rules.
These terms are operational reporting definitions. They do not determine legal merit, case value, or whether a firm should accept a matter.
Key Decision
Build the plan around the highest-confidence constraint, then use weekly governance to decide what to scale, fix, or stop.
90-Day Roadmap

- Days 51-70 Conversion assets Landing page, reviews, proof, follow-up
- Days 71-90 Learning and governance Decision rhythm and next plan

Decision Tool
| Phase | Primary job | Output | Owner | Primary risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Days 1-15 | Baseline | Source, intake, and outcome inventory | Owner and marketing lead | Starting without measurement |
| Days 16-30 | Tracking and intake | Source IDs, routing, dispositions | Marketing ops and intake | Demand enters a weak handoff |
| Days 31-50 | High-intent demand | LSA/PPC/local search controls | Marketing lead | Testing too many channels |
| Days 51-70 | Conversion assets | Landing page, reviews, proof, follow-up | Marketing and intake | More traffic before page clarity |
| Days 71-90 | Learning and governance | Decision rhythm and next plan | Leadership | No action from reporting |
Use the roadmap to assign owners, define success signals, and keep every phase tied to a decision rather than a tactic list.
Formulae and Caveats
Calculations must keep their denominator attached
90-day operating cadence
Calculation: Weekly review of source, intake, quality, and signed-case learning
Inputs: Dashboard, disposition data, action owner
Exclude: Sensitive case details and unsupported forecasts
Caveat: The plan should create decisions every week, not only a final report.
Priority score
Calculation: Impact, confidence, effort, and risk assessed qualitatively
Inputs: Initiative list, owner estimate, constraint notes
Exclude: Invented ROI forecasts
Caveat: Use qualitative scoring when reliable benchmark data is unavailable.
Make The Baseline Visible
The first phase should document current sources, pages, calls, forms, intake routing, disposition fields, reviews, reporting, and known constraints before new spend changes the picture.
Sequence Demand With Intake Readiness
High-intent channels can create learning quickly, but only if calls, forms, screening, follow-up, and reporting are ready enough to interpret outcomes.
What Changes The Answer
The plan changes when the firm has urgent cash-flow constraints, a new market, multiple offices, limited attorney review capacity, weak review profile, or missing source data.
Legal, Ethics, Privacy, and Data-Quality Note
Marketing reporting is not legal advice.
This guide is written for marketing and operations decisions. It does not provide legal advice, does not determine legal merit or case value, and does not generalize one jurisdiction's rules to every firm. Any use of reviews, testimonials, advertising claims, tracking, or outcome feedback should be checked against applicable rules, platform policies, consent requirements, and the firm's own professional obligations.
What to Remember
The practical memory aid.
- The first 90 days should create reliable learning before large-scale expansion.
- A 90-day plan fails when it starts with disconnected tactics and ends without source clarity, intake learning, or an owner decision cadence.
- Next action: This is a strategic-fit decision, not a single diagnostic.

FAQ
Should a 90-day plan start with SEO, PPC, or LSAs?
Start with the channel and operational fix most likely to produce qualified learning given the firm's market, intake readiness, and current visibility.
Can all marketing problems be fixed in 90 days?
No. A 90-day plan should produce better baselines, sharper decisions, and selected improvements, not pretend every compounding channel is mature.
What should leadership review weekly?
Review source movement, missed contacts, qualified opportunities, consultation movement, signed-case status when available, blockers, and owner actions.
