The conversation centers on how niching down transformed both a law firm and a marketing agency into a highly scalable, efficient business. Anthony Karls, president of Rocket Clicks, explains that instead of serving “everyone,” they chose a very specific market: family law firms. That extreme focus gave them major advantages—clearer messaging, streamlined operations, easier hiring, and stronger culture. Rather than being a generalist agency working with all kinds of businesses, Rocket Clicks focuses almost entirely on helping family law practices grow.
Anthony shares the origin story: their law firm originally launched as a general practice and grew quickly, but the results were mediocre. Customer service scores were average, the team didn’t feel proud of the impact they were making, and the business felt scattered. Surprisingly, even in that transition year, revenue stayed at around $1.3M. After that, the power of the niche kicked in: the firm grew to roughly $3M, then $6M, then $9M in subsequent years, simply by getting very good at one thing and repeating the same playbook in more territories.
From a marketing standpoint, Anthony emphasizes starting with organic traffic rather than jumping straight into paid ads. For a typical $2M family law firm living off referrals, he would first focus on local search: making sure the firm shows up in Google Maps and top organic listings. That starts with getting listed correctly in key data aggregators and building consistent NAP citations across the web.Once the organic foundation is solid and the intake team knows how to handle non-referral leads, then it makes sense to layer on paid ads.
When it comes to paid advertising, Anthony says the real power comes from data feedback. Most firms only track phone calls and web form submissions, which produces a lot of junk leads and wasted spend. Rocket Clicks instead tracks leads all the way through the funnel to the “quote” or similar high-value stage, then sends that conversion data back to Google and Meta. That allows the ad platforms’ AI to optimize toward the right kind of client, not just anyone who fills out a form.
Finally, Anthony highlights two big underused levers: artificial intelligence and website performance. On the law firm side, they use AI agents to handle unanswered calls, collect intake details, and assist attorneys with inbox management. Fixing speed and mobile usability alone can significantly boost leads. Overall, the message is clear: niche down, build systems, respect your data, and treat your website and marketing as strategic assets if you want to grow from “just a job” into a scalable, valuable business.
