1. Start with the visitor’s first explanation
Video Intake is designed for the moment when a potential client reaches your website but is not ready to write a detailed narrative or pick up the phone. Bosseo describes CLIONT as a guided video survey that lives on a law-firm website. The visitor answers one question at a time, with the path built around the firm’s practice areas. That changes the first interaction from an open text box into a more directed explanation of the matter. For an Exeter firm, the useful question is not how many people live in Exeter. The useful question is which visitors you intend to serve from Exeter and Rockingham County, and what information they need to provide before someone on your team can respond responsibly.
Recommended approach
List the practice areas and geographic boundaries your firm actually accepts. Then review whether a visitor can identify the relevant path without guessing. Keep the intake focused on information your team will use to assess fit, urgency and next action; do not treat the town population as proof that any particular matter type is in demand.
