Have you tried using SEO (Search Engine Optimization) on your private practice website, but you’re still wondering why people still can’t find you on Google?

 

Or perhaps you’re just getting started on building your website and wondering, “what do I need to do to make sure that clients can find me in search engines?”

 

In this episode of the Private Practice Elevation Podcast, we’re going to talk about the five most common SEO mistakes I see therapists make.

 

Most private practice owners agree that organic traffic to their website can be a great stream of referrals into the business.

 

However, many people fail to see the results they want from their SEO efforts.

 

They’ve got a website - maybe even a great looking one - but the analytics show that not many people are visiting the website or using it to take the next step toward becoming a client.

 

I’ve consulted with scores of therapists over the years and have reviewed many websites.

 

And time and again I see these top 5 mistakes holding folks back from getting momentum with their SEO strategy.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• The first thing you need to do before investing time and money in your SEO strategy

• What content you’ll want on your website to get more traffic from search engines

• How to find the right keywords - the ones that your clients are using - to get more traffic and clients from your private practice website

• How long should you expect it to take to see improvements in your website traffic 

• The 4 main categories of search engine optimization that you’ll need to focus on to build a solid SEO strategy
