Clio partners with Birdeye to help law firms grow

Today, Birdeye formally announces its partnership with Clio, the leader in cloud-based legal practice management. With this new integration option with Birdeye, Clio customers will have the ability to automatically send review requests to clients when legal work is completed.

Customer reviews shape a law firm’s online profile and ultimately impacts search results. According to The National Law Review, 96% of people seeking legal advice use a search engine like Google and 62% of legal searches are non-branded (e.g. “lawyer in San Francisco”). Before this integration, lawyers using Clio would have to manually encourage clients to write reviews. For a busy law firm where lawyers are wearing many hats, this critical piece of the business can often get overlooked or forgotten.

With the Birdeye integration, lawyers can now automatically send review requests to their clients when matters are closed within Clio. Birdeye automatically sends customizable review requests via email or SMS based on the preferences set within the Birdeye dashboard. With customizable timing, branding, and content, Clio lawyers will be able to get new reviews and improve ratings on sites like Google and Avvo without lifting a finger.

'We're thrilled to partner with Clio to help lawyers build trust with current and prospective clients,' said David Tulkin, Director of Business Development at Birdeye. 'Together, Clio and Birdeye are giving law firms the resources they need to control their online presence and automatically grow their practice so they can focus on what really matters, providing excellent client experience.'

“At Clio, we look for integration partners who align with our goals of helping legal practitioners be more efficient and effective,” said Jack Newton, CEO and Co-founder of Clio. “Birdeye exemplifies the ways lawyers can use technology to their advantage. Through the 2017 Legal Trends Report, we found that administrative tasks take up 48% of a legal professional’s day. It’s clear lawyers need help automating business development and Birdeye is one solution that helps solve this problem.”
