What is Video Intake?+
Bosseo describes it as a guided video survey embedded on a law firm’s website. A visitor answers questions one at a time, with the flow organized around practice areas and intended to qualify an inquiry by factors such as case type, urgency and fit.
How is it different from a contact form?+
A contact form generally leaves the visitor with a blank field for a case description. Bosseo’s public description presents Video Intake as a guided, video-led path that asks structured questions and delivers the completed answers to the firm. Your firm should still decide which information belongs in an online intake.
Can a Clute firm use different paths for different practice areas?+
Bosseo says each practice area can have its own qualification path. During a consultation, ask how your actual categories, geographic rules and escalation decisions would be represented. Clute’s inclusion in Brazoria County does not by itself determine which areas your firm should serve.
Where do completed intakes go?+
Bosseo’s public product text says completed inquiries can arrive with answers attached and describes delivery, tagging and routing. Ask the consultation team to confirm the proposed destination and ownership for your firm rather than assuming a particular inbox, CRM or case-management setup.
Can the intake decide whether someone has a legal case?+
No automated intake should be treated as a substitute for your firm’s legal review. Video Intake can support structured screening based on the rules you choose, but your firm must define when a person reviews an answer, checks conflicts and decides whether to proceed.
What should we measure before choosing it?+
Review your existing inquiry path if one exists: starts, submissions, incomplete forms, response ownership, scheduling actions and later firm-defined outcomes. Compare those measures with the outcomes you want from a guided intake. Do not use Clute’s population estimate as a forecast of website demand or signed matters.
