How do law firms improve their lead-to-client conversion rate?
According to 2026 benchmarks, the median law firm website converts at just 6.3%. But the best firms — those with structured intake, instant response, and smart follow-up — convert 30-50% of leads into signed clients. The difference isn't marketing spend. It's intake infrastructure.
