- You want Super Lawyers, content and social media in one program.
- You want a managed program with an account manager, priced to your firm.
- You want PPC on Bing and Yahoo as well as Google.
Synetix SmartSite is not for you when
- Your site gets fewer than 1,000 visitors a month. SmartSite needs that traffic to finish a test in a useful time, so we do not sell it below that.
- You need a month-to-month site. SmartSite has a 12-month term.
- You want one agency for every channel, including video and social media.
