About The Customer
Avvo is an online legal marketplace that connects consumers with lawyers and legal advice, and offers lawyers a platform to reach consumers through editable profiles and tools to manage leads. The site has detailed profiles and ratings for 95% of the U.S. board certified lawyers, searchable legal advice from lawyers across the U.S., and a forum where people can ask specific legal questions. Avvo changed the landscape for consumer legal services by giving people access to lawyers and legal advice, and offering lawyers a platform to reach consumers.
The Challenge
Avvo, an online legal marketplace that connects consumers with lawyers and legal advice, was facing a disconnect between the pricing of sponsored advertising and the customer value it offered. The pricing was based on feeling rather than fact, making it difficult for the sales team to prove value to new prospects or implement demand-based price adjustments on existing accounts. The team needed to understand the number of impressions and clicks on sponsored advertising positions by region and legal specialty. If consumers in a particular region spent more time exploring content or clicking on ads for a particular specialty, then the value of advertising for that service in that region should be higher—and the price should be increased accordingly.
The Solution
To understand performance and site usage patterns, Avvo and its Google Analytics 360 authorized reseller, Analytics Pros, used Google Analytics 360 to collect the right data. They used Google Tag Manager 360 to add and update website tags. Setting up event tracking enabled them to measure impressions, ad clicks and click-through rates for on-site advertisements. Implementing Tag Manager 360 allowed Avvo to track a variety of visitor-level data elements, including the type of devices users were searching with, lawyer profile ID, lawyer ratings and more. Once these solutions were deployed, Avvo turned to the data import functionality in Analytics 360 to incorporate regional and specialty information into their reporting.

SET Creative Ditches Google Vault for Datto Backupify
When Kienholz first started at SET, the staff was using Microsoft Outlook for email with no form of data backup. It became apparent that something needed to change as the staff was often burdened with trying to recover emails from departed employees. Kienholz transitioned the team to Google’s Gmail and implemented Google Vault for backup purposes. While SET employees quickly adjusted to Gmail, which many use for personal email, the same could not be said for Google Vault. “Unlike most Google products, Vault was not user friendly at all. It’s very hard to search for items. We never really figured out how to do a restore either,” explained Kienholz. Due to SET’s work with high-profile brands, projects often go through many rounds of revisions right down to the eleventh hour. This means that every bit of information - especially data living in project managers’ emails - is crucial to delivering clients a polished design at deadline.

Sawback IT and Datto Save Client From a Costly Mistake
Ballistic Echo, a software development house, faced a critical challenge when human error led to the deletion of thousands of lines of unique code. This incident occurred before the code was pushed to source control, resulting in significant loss of time, revenue, and work. The previous file-level backup solution they used was slow and inefficient, making it nearly impossible to manually recreate the lost work. The need for a more reliable and efficient business continuity solution became evident to avoid such disasters in the future.

Pipeline Insight Case Study: YARCDATA
YarcData faced challenges in determining the conversion rates of prospects into customers through various marketing efforts and identifying the source of its leads. They wanted to know the percentage of opportunities in the sales pipeline that came from different marketing events, web downloads, or self-sourced sales opportunities. Additionally, they needed the ability to drill down into the data to guide where to allocate more marketing dollars based on the success of previous efforts. Previously, YarcData relied heavily on spreadsheets and Salesforce.com reports, which made it difficult to extract the exact information they needed. This reliance on spreadsheets represented about 70% of their data presentation.
