Measuring Your Success with Online Lawyer MarketingMy marketing and business background tells me that any expenditure you make on marketing should be analyzed by its Return on Investment (ROI).

Clearly, you want to keep close tabs on how this investment is doing for you. All FindLaw attorney Web sites include a reporting system, powered by industry leader WebSideStory. This state-of-the-art online traffic reporting system enables you to track the number of people who have come to your site and how they arrived there. This information is available to you 24/7. Additionally, as your law firm marketing consultant, I prepare custom reports for my clients—monthly, quarterly, whatever frequency makes the most sense for you. I can tell you:
