This post is for the law firms that: 

  • Don’t know if their marketing is working and want to find answers.
  • Feel like they’re wasting money on ineffective campaigns. 
  • Aren’t able to track their progress from beginning to end. 
  • Seek to make necessary adjustments to their campaigns, e.g., allocate money to another type of digital asset. 
  • Need to justify their marketing budget to stakeholders. 

Let’s start with the basics: 

Your firm’s marketing ROI signals what’s working and what isn’t working. 

For example, if you are placing a significant portion of your marketing budget on one marketing asset, e.g., Facebook ads, while your marketing agency suggests you should also complement this with video.

If you are investing in marketing, you deserve full transparency.
