Web Client Testimonials

Just wanted to thank you for all of your help. I am moving up quickly in the atlanta ga car accident attorney searches  and I don't think that anyone in Atlanta is doing the kind of blogging that I am. Thanks again for all your help.

Mikeschaferlaw.com launched after I got back from The Great Legal Marketing Super Conference. I believe it was on 6-25-08. As you are aware I had no web presence prior to you and the rest of the gang at Foster Web Marketing designing my site.
 
Since my return I hired my wife and English major, Yulee, to help me with all of my marketing. We have posted a blog a day for the last 2 weeks, following what you and Mischele Davis taught on the Sunday after the Super Conference. The results have been unbelievable. Yesterday, July 15, I received a call on a premises liability case. When asked how he found me the response was that he had done a google search, found me, liked the web site and called. I don’t know if I will be taking the case as my potential client is coming in Friday. But that doesn’t really matter. The point is after being on the web for less than 3 weeks I got a call.
 
After I got this call I started doing some of my own google searches. I typed in phrases like “Louisville truck accident Lawyer”, Jefferson County car wreck attorney”, etc.

I couldn’t believe it. The first 2 searches I showed up on the top of the 2nd page of google. On one search I had 2 entries on the 2nd page. Several of the searches I was on page 3. I was rarely beyond page 5. In fact Yulee did a search and I showed up 3rd on the 1st page.
 
I can definitely see results from our activity. Ben’s system is working. Yours and Mischele’s guidance on blogging have lead to great results. The web site you designed is making some web noise. I can’t wait for another 3 weeks to pass to see where I am. I have just purchased the video equipment I needed and should be on you tube in the next 10-14 days (Thanks to Mischele’s Kick Start CD).
 
Gretchen thanks for all your help in designing the site and answering my frequent stupid questions. You are awesome!!!

Three days after launching, our new website was number one on Google for “Newfoundland Injury Lawyer” and “Newfoundland Class Action Lawyer”, but second for “Newfoundland Accident Lawyer”. Number one for that search term was a law firm in Newfoundland, New Jersey (our jurisdiction is Newfoundland, a province of Canada). Oh well, Google isn’t perfect. Vaulting straight from page four to the top was exactly what I was aiming for, and thanks for your assistance in achieving it.

Dear Ben, Tom and Rem,

There are some who can create, a few who can implement and a tiny minority who can teach. You three managed to do all three! Your great presentations and materials had true synergy for a group of like minded attorneys! Not only would I recommend this seminar, I would strongly caution those who might make the fatal mistake of missing the practice and life changing concepts that you present.

Kindest regards,
VdeK

"Foster Consulting was instrumental to my practice when I needed help most – right after Hurricane Katrina…"

Jay Foster
Biloxi, Mississippi Attorney

On August 30th, 2005, the day after Hurricane Katrina destroyed my hometown of Biloxi, Mississippi, and changed much of the Gulf Coast region forever, the first thing I did was contact my insurance company. I initiated my claim for the extensive damages and losses Katrina had caused to my family’s home and personal possessions.

Relatively speaking, the claims process wasn’t so bad for me, but I knew that was because I am a plaintiff lawyer who has worked with (or against) the bad faith practices of insurance carriers everyday for seventeen years. I realized that for the hundreds of thousands of newly displaced and homeless people of the Gulf, the responsive help they so sorely needed from their insurance companies would come neither quickly nor in full. I knew that in the wake of this disaster, my fellow Mississippians would need an attorney on their side who had lived through the crisis with them, and understood their dilemmas first-hand. But how could I best reach them? That was the big question.

To help me answer it, I turned to Foster Consulting, a company in Virginia that I’ve relied on since 2003 to help me establish an effective Internet presence for my website on the major search engines. After providing a few brief instructions to the team at Foster Consulting about what I needed to do, within two days they had a web page prepared for me that skillfully conveyed the exact message I wanted to deliver to my neighbors:

"Are you facing delays or denials from your insurance company in your Hurricane Katrina Insurance Claim? Don’t despair. You aren’t alone. Contact my office today and I will help you."

Within a week of posting the information on my web site, I was on page 1 of Google, MSN and Yahoo for a variety of keywords related to Hurricane Katrina insurance claims. Throughout the fall of 2005, these prominent listings for my site helped triple my web site traffic flow. More importantly, their work on my site facilitated contact with hundreds of property owners struggling with the bad faith practices of their insurance companies.

Foster Consulting helped me make a positive difference in the communities of the Gulf Coast during the most critical time in the region’s history. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Foster Consulting for any attorneys seeking to use their websites to expand the business they obtain through the Internet.

Hi Tom. We had a salesman in the office from FindLaw yesterday who wanted to sign us up. I explained to him that we already had in place most of what he was offering and we checked the search engines together. Of course, he was thinking that he would make his sale because the web sites wouldn’t come up in the top 5 or 10 or whatever, but sure enough, there we were, consistently in first or second position. He looked at the websites as well and said, “well, your guy has done a really good job for you.” Just wanted to let you know that your work is appreciated. Thanks.

From Attorney Ben Glass (http://www.vamedmal.com)

I am convinced that today’s Internet consumer starts their search for an attorney by typing phrases into a search engine, not by going to an “attorney directory” that no one has ever heard of.

Attorney websites need to do two things:

• Rank highly on popular search engines for relevant search engine terms.
• Have compelling and interesting copy which establishes you as the “obvious choice” to be their attorney.

Foster Web Marketing has made it brain dead easy for lawyers to achieve both goals. Either by using their revolutionary DSS system (and doing it themselves, as I do) or subscribing to the Content Management Program, attorneys can exploit the advantages of the web as a critical marketing medium. Small to medium firms who don’t take control of their web sites using one of these two methods are just throwing money out the window.

I have been using DSS for years and our site consistently ranks highly and, more importantly, lures qualified potential clients to our firm. If your website isn’t making your e-mail “ding”, call Foster today.
