How We Score Your Digital Presence

Our methodology benchmarks you against the top performers in your market — not arbitrary standards.

1

What We Measure

We evaluate 7 factors that determine how visible you are to potential clients — in both traditional search and AI-powered search. Each factor is weighted based on its impact on client acquisition; we adjust these weights periodically as search behavior evolves.

How We Identify Your Peers

We score every firm in your city and practice area using our 7-factor methodology. The top 5 performers become your peer set — these are the firms competing for the same clients you want.

Overall Score

We combine your 7 scores — weighted by their importance to client acquisition — into a single overall score from 0 to 100. A score of 50 means you're exactly at the market average.
