Hello. My name is Sachin Bhatia and I manage the product team at Avvo. I’d like to welcome you to the new Avvo Blog—thoughts, announcements, and explanations of the world of Avvo.

 

The reintroduction of the Avvo Blog is centered on our desire to have a dialogue about the products of Avvo. This blog hasn’t received much attention over the past few months; instead, we were actively pursuing conversations via webinars, Twitter, Facebook , and LinkedIn. We will remain active on those venues, as well as continuing to blog about consumer legal issues on NakedLaw, and the business side of the law on Lawyernomics.

 

With all of those existing channels, why keep this alive? It’s simple—while we are always working to improve our product, often times we’re not getting the word out. I’m constantly running into attorneys and clients who don’t realize that we already have the feature they wish we had. So the sweet spot for this blog is talking about the products we’re building: the what, the why, and even the how.

 

In the coming weeks, expect to see employees of Avvo talking about features and enhancements. We’ll also bring in customers of Avvo explaining how they use our products. I encourage you to bookmark this page and subscribe to our feed.

 

We promise to make it worth your while.

We’re going to use this blog to talk about our products — not only the what, but the how we approach the problems and the people behind it all.

Avvo is a blessing especially when someone does not know where to go or what to do. Avvo gave me right direction and, fortunately, my problems were solved. So, I did not need an attorney. But, if I need one, i sure will use one from Avvo.

Sachin: Thanks for the update. What are the new products you expect to blog about? Avvo Ignite? Bidding for legal services? What else? I am preparing for an interview with Josh King in March. Will the new blog be limited to discussions about Avvo products?

Thanks for your help. Richard Rizk

Richard-
Thanks for stopping by. Yes, we’ll be talking about Avvo Ignite and a few Avvo.com features that are in beta right now which allow clients to connect to lawyers in new ways (hint- it’s not “bidding”). One of the things I hope to talk about soon is our new branding & navigation and our move away from health. And, we’ll likely give updates on how the site is being used (I love data). I don’t think we’ll intentionally limit the discussion to just Avvo products — we’ll try to talk about products that are generally useful for both clients and attorneys.

Hey Sachin,

I’d love to see some data from Ignite (i.e. lead cycles, conversion rates, etc).

Gyi-

I know you would! It’s on our list. I’ll likely put out pieces of general data (infographic-like) this summer. Right now, we’re still in data collection mode.
