In 2006 FASTENnetwork.org won a website award by the American Association of Webmasters. This was, in large part, due to Lou Storiale's commitment and dedication to the website from 2003-2007. Lou contributed his website development skills and knowledge, updated our content management system, helped create several databases for tracking and marketing purposes and posted all the Spanish translation sections of the site, as well. Lou's information architecture and usability knowledge is extensive and it helped to fix website design issues that occurred when we outsourced one of the website designs to another company. Lou not only provided sound advice to improve the design, he also worked within the new design to post all the content for centeronfic.org. He conducted his work very professionally, communicating with me and my staff each day about the progress. When Lou had questions, he asked - when we had questions, he was fully informed and was able to provide status information immediately. After Hurricane Katrina occurred, we received a grant to conduct research on Non Government Organization and their relief efforts during Hurricane Katrina. Lou Storiale managed the marketing database, created requirements for the application and managed the programmers to ensure it worked correctly. This database served as center of our research. We were able to mine information gathered from over 150 organizations, cross-reference data across states, organization types, size, training methodologies and more. We were able to develop best practices for non-government organizations during relief efforts because of this data. Lou Storiale was project manager of this project and it completed on time and within budget. " I relied heavily on Lou for his technical expertise, project management skills and website development advice while working with him from 2003-2007 on several website initiatives for Sagamore Institute. Lou Storiale is responsive and careful with assignments and has high standards for quality control, there is no doubt. Lou displayed strong communications skills in training my staff (and others) on the Content Management System for the FASTEN site and on the use of other Web technologies such as HTML training, and search engine optimization. It was particularly refreshing to work with Lou because, despite his technical expertise, he is able to communicate to non-technological people like me. I would recommend Storiale Consulting Group/Lou Storiale very highly. read more

I wanted to take this opportunity to post some reviews we left for Lou Storiale for his work in 2007. We had a lot of trouble getting results from our website strategy, search engine optimization, and online sales until Lou was brought on board in August, 2007. He revolutionized our online strategy, improved every website metric, increase sales by 300% in the first week. We still have the site up and running after over 3 years - previously we changed the site design twice within 12 months. Here are the reviews from our former SEO Director, Designer, and Director of Marketing "Lou did an outstanding job managing the update of our web site in a very short time frame. He used sound methodologies, expertise and best-practices to produce results that exceeded my expectations. His communication throughout the process was extremely effective and provided my team the tools needed to present a seamless transition for our customers. I would highly recommend Lou's work and am grateful for the opportunity I have to work with him in our organization." Brett W., Director, TeleSolutions, Professional Education Institute "Lou does an outstanding job in managing the people and resources to create a successful online product. In his work on CarletonSheets.com, Lou was faced with tight deadlines. He did an excellent job of juggling competing objectives and interests to create a website properly optimized for users and search engines." Phil Ayres, Director of Web Strategy, Professional Education Institute "Lou is defiantly an awesome user experience guru. It was my pleasure working with him on the Carleton sheets website. We both has a vision on making the website a more user friendly site. Working together we made our vision a reality. I would recommend him to for any ones website needs. I look forward to working with him on future projects." Kelly Zimmerman, Freelance Interactive Designer, Creative Circle We loveed the new website and it has served our company well. Thank you so much for your work. read more

Lou Storiale and I have known each other since 1995. He approached me offering some suggestions for my website. I had been online for 6 years and was not getting any rankings. I conceived of my website like a business card, more for validation than for marketing. Lou showed me how inefficient my site was; I couldn't even find my website when I put my own name into Google. After 9 weeks, Lou had my website on Google's first page and ranking well for many keywords important to my profession. At Lou's suggestion, we decided that we needed an even better strategy. We changed the site to a WordPress Design. While keeping costs low, Lou created a remarkable number of additional pages of content -- not only to educate visitors about our company's services, but also to extend our reach online. The new site launched successfully as ETSInvestigate.com at the end of December; we anticipate even better search results in the coming weeks. I will be updating this review again in February to let others know about the great job Lou Storiale is doing to quickly produce results and bring ETS into the 21st century with regard to online marketing. read more

Clearly the best marketing company in Chicago. Lou treated me and my window tinting company like we were a fortune 500 company. My site is on Google's first page for over 22 different keyword phrases, so his search engine optimization is excellent. I didn't have anything in my budget for a custom website design, but Lou created a site anyway. I now have over 36 reviews on Google, a great blue collar website, and people compliment my business all the time. They choose me because I listed to Lou and did what he told me to back in March. He knows his business. Lou also helped me earn an extra $30,000 using pay per click ads. i didn't know anything about them, but Storiale Consulting took the reigns and I began making money on day 1. I couldn't be happier with the work Lou and his team did. My business is back on its feet today - and only after 6 months after Lou began working on my site and marketing online. read more

Finally!!! A marketing group that actually does exactly what they claim they can do! When I met Lou I thought he was just like one of the many internet marketing people that contact me everyday. His offer sounded too good to be true so I took him up on it without any risk to me. Within weeks I saw my rankings rise dramatically and the hits on my site went out the roof. My business has increased and most of it is through internet contact with clients. I would highly recommend Storiale consulting group for all your internet marketing needs! read more

I met Lou through LinkedIn when I needed help setting up my blog. Lou is a professional whose knowledge of the web far exceeds others that I have met. Unlike many other internet marketing folks, he is very knowledgeable and is very willing to share his knowledge with you. Lou also has the knack of explaining technical aspects in layman's terms. Lou also is not afraid that he may not know something, but he will get back to you with an answer. read more

Without question Lou delivered more than I expected. I asked him to do a relatively small, simple project for a finance blog I started at https://signalee.com and he came back with not only what I asked him to do but also pointed out a number of amateur SEO errors I was making with my wordpress settings. Will definitely use him again. read more
