"Our law firm was spending $12,000/month on Google Ads with a $1,200 cost per new client. After 90 days with Cactus, we started getting 10–15 qualified inquiries per month from people who said 'I asked ChatGPT and it recommended your firm.' Those clients retained at 70% — our Google Ads clients retained at 35%."
Result: 10–15 AI-referred client inquiries/month within 90 days. 70% retention rate vs. 35% from paid ads. Google Ads spend cut by 40%.
