In this insightful episode, Jerry Kennedy dives deep into the important topic of chiropractic website ownership versus renting. Learn about the pros, cons, and misconceptions surrounding website management to make the best decision for your chiropractic practice.

Key Points Discussed: 1. The Catalyst for This Discussion

• Jerry shares his experience with seeing a social media ad discouraging chiropractors from renting websites, advocating instead for ownership.

   

• Highlights the misleading aspects of this marketing approach.

2. The True Purpose of Your Chiropractic Website

• Your website should clearly represent your practice and communicate your value to potential patients.

• It should create an immediate feeling of reassurance and relief for your ideal patients, helping them know they've found the right chiropractor.

3. Common Misconceptions About Renting vs. Owning

• Owning a website does not eliminate ongoing costs (hosting, domain renewal, plugins, maintenance).

• Renting doesn't inherently mean you're throwing away money; it could offer consistent value and peace of mind.

Website Management Options Explored: Option 1: DIY (Do It Yourself)

• Pros: Cheapest initial cost; complete control.

• Cons: Time-consuming, requires technical and design skills, full responsibility for problems.

Option 2: DIY with Professional Help (Hybrid Model)

• Pros: Professional initial setup, saves significant time, good initial functionality and appearance.

• Cons: High upfront costs, ongoing technical maintenance responsibilities, potential hidden SEO and functional flaws.

Option 3: Full Website Service

• Pros: Professional management, design, and SEO optimization; ongoing support and updates; leveraging expert experience.

• Cons: Higher ongoing monthly cost; less direct control for those who prefer hands-on management.

Key Recommendations: Financial Considerations

• Avoid making website decisions based purely on cost savings. Prioritize overall return on investment and functionality.

Practical Tips for Control

• Maintain control of your domain (URL).

• Maintain control of your business email setup independently (e.g., Google Workspace).

Warning Signs

• Be cautious of marketing scare tactics.

• Ensure the website solution you choose genuinely enhances your online presence and patient conversion.
