My co-worker, David Benowitz, is one of the leading attorneys in DC and has been for years. My goal is to grow and rank as well as he does to help the firm bring in even more leads. BluShark Digital has helped me reach the top rankings for criminal keywords.

How did you select BluShark Digital LLC?

My firm, Price Benowitz, was already working with them on personal injury cases. After their process was successful in those practice areas it was an easy transition to include my work.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

They manage all aspects of my digital portfolio - website, ads, socials, link building, etc. They even help me find local events to donate time at that I'm personally invested in! One of the biggest projects though is content, for both my site and other platforms. They are always sending updated content my way for final reviews.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Very effective, with the one point of contact communication is seamless.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Their ability to finish projects in a timely manor, or work on last minute projects thrown at them. There have been a handful of high-profile cases we have worked recently that BluShark was able to work on immediately and get the most out of it.

Are there any areas for improvement?

DC is a competitive market, but the goal is to be in the local three pack across the board. And I think they can do it.

I have a direct accounts lead that funnels all projects from their entire team to me, and vice versa.

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Richmond, while smaller than the DMV area, is difficult to do well in because there are so many lawyers and law firms around the capital. BluShark has helped me open strategic offices to help improve my Google search rankings and bring in more client leads.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Because there is one point of contact, everything runs smoothly. I am able to reach out to one person who can answer, or get answers, to any question I have.
