How do potential clients contact us once they have found our firm in the directory?
There are a few ways in which clients may contact you or your firm. The most direct way is by phone. Your phone number will be listed in your office profile. Visitors are not required to fill out any forms to see your phone number. Usually, when a potential client calls you on the phone, this would be the most valuable type of lead. If you are concerned about your ROI with respect to advertising expenses for your directory listing, it would be a good idea for you to assign a dedicated phone number to your listing. This would make it easy to track your responses. If you are unable to assign a dedicated phone line, then the next best thing is to use some kind of internal tracking system in your office to keep track of your responses.
Potential clients may opt to contact you via email. Your profile will have a secure email link that takes visitors to a contact form. Your email address will not be exposed to spam bots. It will remain secure. You will receive a form submission with all the details at the email address you provide.
Visitors who find you in the directory may also click the link to your website and contact you from there.
