About Us

At SLS Consulting, Inc., we believe in transparency, teamwork, and staying on top of the latest internet marketing trends.

Our Story

In 1999, SLS Consulting, Inc. opened up its doors for business. Founder Susan Ziegler started the company with one goal in mind – to help small and medium-sized law firms level the playing field against larger national firms who were utilizing black-hat marketing strategies to secure clients. Having worked in the legal industry her entire adult life, starting as a receptionist and eventually working her way up to CFO of a national motorcycle firm, Susan left the confines of law firm life to set out on her mission. Today, SLS Consulting, Inc.’s portfolio includes law firm clients nationwide. Known for our white-hat SEO strategies and complete transparency with clients, SLS has grown from a small, family-run business to what it is today. In Susan’s own words – “I am proud of the work we do and the relationships we have built over the years with our clients. Our clients are family.”
