A potential client reads three blog posts about divorce law, downloads a custody guide, visits the practice areas page, and submits a consultation request. Another visitor lands on your homepage and leaves immediately. Engagement rate tells you which prospects are researching seriously, and it helps your firm focus follow-up on qualified leads.
