Where the two differ
Focus. 4LegalLeads is a multi-practice lead company. Its site lists many categories, from bankruptcy and family law to auto accidents and workers' comp, and it has been generating online leads since 2001. Augment Leads does two things: motor vehicle accident leads and workers' comp leads. Every screening question, field and campaign is built for those two practice areas.
Lead formats. 4LegalLeads says every category is available as web leads and as live calls. Augment Leads delivers web form leads in real time, into your CRM by webhook, LeadDocket, Litify or GoHighLevel, or by email, SMS alert, a lead distribution platform or a Google Sheet, routed by office or case type.
Proof on every lead. Augment Leads attaches a TrustedForm certificate to every lead, a third-party record of the form session, and verifies every phone number by SMS. 4LegalLeads says it uses third-party verification services. Its public pages don't say which ones, or whether a consent certificate comes with each lead. Ask them. If consent records matter to your firm, read TrustedForm and lead verification.
Getting started. 4LegalLeads runs on a funded account: you add funds, and leads draw down the balance. Augment Leads starts with a strategy call, where we agree your states, case types, screening and a written replacement policy, then you place a first paid order.
Who each fits
4LegalLeads may fit firms that:
- Practice in several areas beyond injury and want one account for all of them
- Want live calls as well as web leads
- Prefer a self-serve, funded account
Augment Leads may fit firms that:
- Focus on motor vehicle accidents, workers' comp or both
- Want a TrustedForm certificate and an SMS-verified phone on every lead
- Want screening built from their own criteria, with leads that fail it not sent
- Want a written replacement policy agreed before the first order
- Want to order a single accident type, such as truck or bicycle leads only
Questions to ask any lead vendor
- Does each lead go to one firm only? Is it ever resold, recycled or moved to an aged-lead pool? See exclusive vs shared PI leads.
- Where do the leads come from: your own ads and forms, or partners?
- Does every lead come with a consent record I can open, such as a TrustedForm certificate?
- How is the phone number verified?
- What counts as a bad lead, how do I flag it, and is that in writing?
- What are the terms to start, pause and stop?
