What is speed-to-lead and why does it matter for law firms?

Speed-to-lead is the time between a prospective client submitting an inquiry and your firm making first contact. Law firms that respond within 5 minutes are significantly more likely to convert that lead than firms responding in 30 minutes or more. Bay Legal achieves sub-5-minute speed-to-lead using Lawmatics automation configured by XPRTS.

How does XPRTS set up intake automation for a law firm?

XPRTS configures Lawmatics to automatically respond to new leads, qualify them through a structured pipeline, schedule consultations, and send follow-up sequences — all without requiring attorney involvement until a qualified consultation is booked. The result is a system that works 24/7.

Can XPRTS help with law firm marketing beyond intake automation?

Yes. XPRTS builds lead attribution dashboards that show which marketing channels produce retained clients, not just leads. This allows you to cut underperforming ad spend and double down on what converts.

The Real Problem

You Need Infrastructure, Not More Ads

Law firm owners spending money on marketing but struggling with inconsistent intake, slow response times, and no visibility into what's actually converting share one thing in common: they're sending traffic to a leaky bucket.

Research shows firms that respond to an inquiry within 5 minutes are 100x more likely to convert that lead than firms that respond in 30 minutes. Most law firms respond in hours — or not at all. That's not a marketing problem. That's an infrastructure problem.

Common Questions

About Marketing & Growth Infrastructure

Do you run ads or manage social media?+

No. XPRTS does not run ads, manage social media, or produce marketing content. We build the infrastructure that makes your existing marketing convert — the pipeline, the automation, the speed-to-lead, the attribution. You're in charge of where the traffic comes from. We're in charge of what happens when it arrives.

We already use Lawmatics but it's not converting. Can you fix it?+

Yes — this is one of our most common engagements. Most firms have Lawmatics partially configured. We conduct a full intake audit as part of the Strategy Review, identify exactly where leads are dropping off, and rebuild the configuration. We don't start from scratch if what you have is salvageable.

What if we don't have Lawmatics yet?+

We'll recommend the right CRM for your firm's size and practice area — usually Lawmatics for firms serious about intake automation, or Clio Grow for firms already on the Clio platform. We then configure whichever you select from scratch, including all intake pipelines, automations, and integrations.

How do you measure success for this engagement?+

The primary metrics we track: speed-to-lead (time from inquiry to first automated response), intake conversion rate (inquiry to booked consultation, consultation to signed engagement), lead source attribution (what percentage of leads can be traced to a specific source), and pipeline value (total value of leads currently in the funnel). We establish baselines at the start and measure against them at the 30-day review.
