Well it does work and saves people all kinds of time and money, so there's that......

Cool service, they do have a point tho that .GIF of a repeating % change is pretty unimpressive/scammy looking on first impression.

[u/robfrankel1 → u/dozkaynak]

Heh. I suppose. But it really doesn't seem to have bothered the customers that we do have. In fact every single customer who engaged the service settled his case for more than he ever thought and got paid. We literally have a 100% success rate.

Why not publish that then? I guess it's the "4/5 dentists recommend" logic, where nobody would believe it potentially? Featuring some testimonials could help.

[u/robfrankel1 → u/dozkaynak]

The site has a TON of testimonials. And the obnoxious GIF is pretty much the "4 out of 5 dentists" thing, it's just that instead of making the same claim over and over, we show the settlements. Also, our challenge really isn't customers visiting and leaving. If they come, they file a case. The challenge is getting more customers to visit, which is difficult if only because settling a civil matter is something people want ONLY when they're in that situation. it isn't an elective decision like buying a pair of jeans. People don't go to court every day, but a ton of people do file court claims every year.

Ah when I saw "Reviews" for whatever reason my brain said "oh like media coverage" not testimonials - random suggestion, in the footer of your webpage link to the same page (reviews) but with the text "Testimonials" that way anyone looking thru the site for either keyword will spot it (or CTRL-F will find it for them instantly).
