Legal Leads for Networks and Agencies: FAQ

 

The following FAQ is designed for other lead platforms, agencies, and national attorney network websites. Browse answers to our most common questions below.  However, to begin you will want to create an attorney account and then contact us via the backoffice or at Support@4legalleads.com with your desired legal categories and geographical expectations.  We will setup your custom targeting. Even better, if you can accept ping/post, we can ping you with the zipcode/categories for different areas of law and you can buy the leads based on your real-time coverage.  We will need your system specs to integrate this.

01

Are your legal leads exclusive?

 

We are unique among the majority of our competitors in that all leads are sold only once.  We check all new leads the moment they come in against all former leads which we hold on file for at least 30 days and any lead with a matching email/phone number is marked as a duplicate and ineligible for sale or distribution.  Keep in this in mind when comparing to other companies with both higher pricing who are ALSO selling your leads to 3 or more buyers.

02

Are your legal leads real-time?

 

95% of our leads are distributed real-time within milliseconds with about 5% held for continual quality review spot checks.  We do not store leads for resale.  Nor do we EVER manually distribute leads.  This means that when a lead comes in, it is immediately sent to the next available buyer in line who can help the prospect in that state.  This is why its critical to have your account funded 24/7 as if your balance can not cover a lead, it moves on to a competing law firm in your area instead.

03

What type of legal leads do you offer?

 

We have legal leads for nearly every single category of law in the legal industry. All of these are prospects seeking legal help and designed to be purchased by any size law firm.  You can target a single area of law or multiple areas of law all with different pricing depending on the category.

04

Do you filter for quality?

 

Our quality begins first with our initial ads.  We refuse to use words like "free" "pro bono" "legal aid" and other terms that lower quality.  We also use our credit return system to monitor for patterns of low qualilty to tackle those issues immediately, improving quality ongoing. We also use a 3rd party verification service which makes sure the prefix / area code are possible combinations in the US phone system.  In addition, we replace all VERIFIABLE wrong numbers, wrong legal categories, wrong locations, etc.

05

How are your legal leads generated?

 

We generate the majority of leads through our own internal campaigns since 2001 and are considered a wholesaler for some of the largest networks in the country.  This means we can insure quality from start to finish.  In the last couple years, we have also partnered with dozens of powerful lead providers and sem specialists.  When funding your account for 20+ leads, we introduce your offer to many of these partners for robust legal lead campaigns.  All prospects come to us, all request information without incentivization, and all are extremely targeted to needing legal help for current and future issues. Keep in mind our system is blind and impartial.  It takes the highest paying buyer for each geographical location and category and sells the leads exclusively in rotation.  It is for that reason that using the most updated lead prices is important to lead volume.

06

How can we pay for leads?

 

We will accept all major credit cards. Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express. In the backoffice you can add funds at any time. For larger law firms or national networks who establish who are buying huge volumes of lead, we will often move to wiring or ach once a relationship is established. We allow pro-rated refunds for your account for balance not yet used. We HIGHLY recommend taking your average cost per lead and adding enough funds to cover twenty leads.  By keeping your account funded well in advance, you assure your lead volume grows without interruption.

07

How do you deliver your leads?

 

The primary delivery method for other platforms is to ping you the zipcode/category.  If you have coverage, you send us a "Yes" response.  We then post the full lead data and deduct that cost from your account. The backoffice also allows downloading of all leads and orders in excel,cvs, and pdf file formats. Lastly, we can post to any system's database if you provide us with specs and are a major client.

08

How much funding do we have to add?

 

We recommend you take your cost per lead and times it by 20 for a trial. Fund this amount to begin and try to keep your account funded enough to always cover the next ten leads.  This allows us to announce your campaigns in our bi-weekly newsletter to all of our powerful partners and take time to add you to our internal advertising campaigns. Once a relationship is established, you will want to cover a month's worth of leads at all times.

 

You are also going to get a much better average of your conversion rate and law of average over the delivery of 10 to 20 leads.  However, since leads for legal categories can range from $20 to $150/lead depending on the category, nearly all law firm clients fund at least five hundred to two thousand dollars.  Clients with large geographical coverage or needing huge lead flow will fund into the thousands so we can allot resources and build advertising campaigns to support all their lead flow demands.  This allows us to setup the campaigns to match your areas of law and geographical requirements.  National campaigns will deliver far faster than more localized targeting.  

 

Keep in mind when funding your account, we always allow pro-rated refunds of any remaining balance in your account if you give us 24 hour notice.  We are probably one of the most fair and risk free lead matching services in the legal industry.  We also don't require auto billing and let our clients keep their accounts well funded manually for priority.

09

Can I target specific locations?

 

If you can accept ping/post with a system advanced enough to identify your buyers in real-time, then you can technically take pings for all locations for the categories you desire.  You only need send a success responses for the areas you have coverage for.  Otherwise, you can use the standard attorney targeting methods.

 

Of course national lead campaigns deliver fastest, but if you are limited to certain states, all attorneys can select the states they want leads in.  The larger the area you can practice in, the faster you will receive leads.  For this reason we recommend you select your entire state.  If you can't handle the entire state, we have zip code targeting radius allowing you to choose a mile radius from your local zip code which you should make as wide as possible to allow for commuters etc. This can radius can be limited to state lines, so no worries there.  Lastly, you can also give us a full list of counties for your target locations.

10

Can I target specific areas of law?

 

You can choose from a variety of areas in the legal industry that you wish to receive leads from.  These are areas of law that the prospect themselves label their issue as.  Keep in mind that the more areas of law you can handle and select, the more leads you will receive due to a larger net in matching leads to you.  After setting up your account, contact us at Support@4LegalLeads.com with your desired categories.  You can have different geographical setups for each category.  Once we have setup your location for each area of law and you've funded your account, leads will flow automatically.

11

Can I get credit for bad leads?

 

All leads are sold as is since we can't resell a lead if its not real-time.  However, we will replace verifiable wrong numbers and leads obviously outside their category or location by looking at the lead's description.  To request a replacement, simply use the link in the back office which will allow us to verify the lead and often issue a credit to your account balance within 48 hours. It is an ABSOLUTE REQUIREMENT that you use your backoffice to submit any bad leads within the 5 day window before the credit option expires for each lead.  Our verification department will double confirm the reasons stated in all requests.

12

How long does it take to get my leads?

 

You can "Create Attorney Account" in the top right of the corner of the website instantly.  Then email us at sales@4legalleads.com your desired areas of law and the widest geography for each.  We usually can have everything setup within 24 hours.  Then fund your account after or before we confirm targeting is setup.  Lead flow increases as you continue as a client and we add even more supportive ad campaigns. While leads CAN start within 24 hours, allow at least a week for your campaign to make transaction and keep in mind we send out a bi-weekly newsletter for well-funded clients to increase your lead flow.

 

13

Is buying legal leads ethical for attorneys?

 

Online lead generation has existed for years. Companies who have entered the legal lead generation business have already blazed a trail through many of the challenges. The result is a green light for lead generation companies who operate ethically and comply with various states rules on attorney advertisements. 4LegalLeads.com advertises on a group model, which is both legal and ethical. In general, lawyer advertisements (including group advertisements) cannot be misleading. ABA Model Rule 7.1. Since our business model is not a referral service and we are not endorsing or recommending any particular attorney, we do not violate rules on referral services. ABA Model Rule 7.2. Lawyers participating in 4LegalLeads group advertising model pay a fixed fee for their participation. Costs are based on the delivery of prospects, in no way do we ever get payed based on the collection of fees or other contingencies. In other words, there are no fee splitting issues to worry about.

14

Are you buying legal leads or accepting partners?

 

We are highly selective due to quality restrictions, but always considering new lead generation partners. Simply email us at Sales@4LegalLeads.com with the categories you generate, estimated lead flow, quality, and technology capabilities.
