1. Define what a Briar Chapel lead means before comparing channels
The public ROI Dashboard description says contacts can be classified as Potential New Client, Current Client or Other, then tagged by case type. That distinction matters when a firm serves a defined place such as Briar Chapel in Chatham County. A call from an existing client is not equivalent to a new inquiry, and a new inquiry is not automatically a signed matter. The population estimate for Briar Chapel cannot supply those missing business definitions. Decide whether the dashboard should distinguish inquiries mentioning Briar Chapel, inquiries from elsewhere in Chatham County, and contacts outside the firm’s intended service area. Also decide how staff should handle duplicates, vendors, spam, referrals and people seeking a practice area the firm does not handle.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to walk through the classification rules using your firm’s own case types and intake language. Record what counts as a lead, what disqualifies a contact, and when a lead becomes a matter. Do not use the Briar Chapel population estimate as a conversion denominator unless you have a separate, defensible measurement plan.
