Client since October 2000
Wingate, Russotti, Shapiro, Moses & Halperin, LLP, has been with SLS since the beginning and is our longest-standing client. In 2011, Google rolled out its first Panda update, which narrowed in on website content. As a personal injury firm in ultra-competitive New York City, WRSMH was hit hard. Overnight, their website fell off the rankings for its most important terms. But SLS Consulting, Inc. was on their side. We dove into SEO research and reworked their website, from layout to content to links, to show Google’s algorithm what it needed to see in order to rank WRSMH at the top once more. A decade later, Wingate, Russotti, Shapiro, Moses & Halperin, LLP, received an Award of Excellence in the Communicator Awards for the improvements SLS made to their website.
Before the Google penalty, WRSMH’s website was in compliance with SEO best practices at the time, but one algorithm update later and everything changed. We needed to research and rework the website. We needed to get WRSMH back to page one so their clients could easily find them.
Experimentation became our go-to method. Since Google does not share how its algorithm works, we had to review all the available articles and industry sources, then conduct extensive testing to find out what was holding WRSMH back. We removed outdated website pages, rewrote the rest of the content to comply with Google’s brand-new standards, and got rid of several mini-sites that were in vogue at the time. It took time, but it worked, and WRSMH once again enjoys a top ranking in New York.
WRSMH is a premier firm in NYC, but its attorneys are approachable. To convey this, we showcased video of the firm’s partners on the homepage, alongside huge verdicts and media coverage from major news sources. Because of the sheer volume of cases WRSMH wins, we had to create a custom feed to organize them. We paid attention to results and personality, because that’s what sets WRSMH apart from everyone else.

Her innovative strategies and techniques have our telephones ringing and our internet mailboxes overflowing.
