A new online experts register is to be launched imminently by X-Pro. With core features including reduced fees for experts,
innovative search options and a high Google ranking, many see the new site as breath of fresh air for the industry.
Spokesman Andy David commented, "X-Pro News has been running for a year and has almost universally been well received by the expert witness and legal communities. As part of that process we've received numerous contributions from experts about existing online registers. Many experts seemed concerned about the relatively high fees charged to experts in return for, at least in some cases, very little by way of innovation or exposure. To keep your expert year in year out we felt that you had to not only be successful in marketing them but be seen to be working hard on their behalf, rather than just providing a list"
The lawyers behind X-Pro News did their research and came up with the idea of a new online register that had essential core values and features:
- Firstly, the site had to present a clean, business-like interface, free from distracting advertisements.
- The fees charged to experts must be reasonable, with free search access to the public.
- Crucially, experts would be allowed secure access to their own profile via username & password, ensuring their details are right up to date. The expert is then able to easily upload other items direct to the profile, such as articles, without interference.
- Experts can view hits on their own profile so they know whether or not the site is working for them.
- The search parameters must go beyond the usual 'keyword' & 'category' fields and include other options too.
- Sound and video options - probably the first experts register worldwide to offer both.
- The option to include contact details for lawyer testimonials - attorneys value recommendations from fellow professionals.
- Investment in Google Ads to ensure a high ranking on expert witness searches.
Mr David continues, "The eight core values of the site were non-negotiable and the site reflects that. We really believe that the X-Pro Register has more features than any of the competition at a fraction of the cost. Only time will tell as to whether the experts and the attorneys that use the site agree - but we are very excited by the launch."
The site is not 'live' as yet but will be published soon so that experts can take a look at what's on offer.
The next stage involves an expert recruiting drive, probably within the next few weeks.
