The independent alternative

Agency-reported dashboards vs. independent accountability.

Marketing agencies and lead generators report on the metrics they manage — and they're the same party being paid. RetainProof is the independent alternative: we reconcile what your firm spends, what vendors report, and the cases you actually retain, from a neutral vantage point.

RetainProof is not a marketing agency and does not replace the vendors already supporting your firm. It provides an independent layer of analysis between marketing activity and firm leadership.

How we stay independent

We don't replace your vendors — we sit between them and your leadership.

No vendor relationships

We don't sell ads, run campaigns, or accept referral fees from the vendors we review. Nothing about our findings changes what we're paid.

Your data, your vantage point

We reconcile the numbers your firm already owns — spend, invoices, calls and retained matters — rather than a dashboard the paid vendor built.

A one-time engagement

An assessment is a fixed-scope review, not a subscription. Your vendors keep doing their work; we simply give leadership a neutral read on it.
