Are your SEO efforts actually doing anything for your practice or are you just guessing and hoping for the best?

In this episode, I’m covering one of the most overlooked but powerful ways therapists can boost their SEO and grow their private practice: backlinks. I walk you through the exact strategies I'm using right now to climb Google rankings, drive traffic to my site, and ultimately attract more ideal clients—without spending thousands on ads or hiring a huge marketing team. Whether you’re brand new to SEO or wondering why your “optimized” site isn’t ranking, this episode will change how you approach your marketing strategy.

I also break down the massive shift in the therapy industry since 2021, and why your approach to marketing, especially community marketing and SEO, has to evolve in 2025 and beyond.
