Is your website actually pushing clients away?

Nicole Holovach was wondering the same thing when she booked a free marketing review with me.

Nicole is a dietitian in private practice who reached out for a second opinion on why she wasn’t booking as many consults and clients as she expected — even with a polished website and Google Ads running.

She thought it might be the site design.
It wasn’t.

She was told the problem was her niche wasn’t narrow enough.
It wasn’t that either… and in fact, being a generalist is a niche too.

What it was is something we uncovered during our review. It’s a surprisingly common and often overlooked issue.

And the fix? Much simpler than most practice owners think.

In this episode, we walk through:
 ✔ Why her message wasn’t converting
 ✔ What Nicole should change on her homepage
 ✔ Simple ways to help ideal clients say “That’s me” and reach out
 ✔ A few key tips when ads are bringing traffic but no one is booking

If you’ve ever felt like your website should be performing better and wondering how to make that happen… this episode is for you.

🎧 Hit play and learn what Nicole changed so you can take these same steps in your private practice.

Sometimes the best way to understand what’s not working in when marketing your private practice is to see how others have fixed it.

In this episode of Marketing Your Private Practice, Kathy shares the before and after of three real-life messaging makeovers from a dietitian, a therapist and a coach  - all service providers - who refined what they say and how they say it. These examples -  from vague intros to clear, confident elevator pitches -  show you exactly what changes made their marketing more effective and attract more clients. 

If you’ve ever wondered how to talk about your services in a way that connects with the clients you want to help without listing off every certification or overloading people with options ... you’ll take away valuable ideas from these transformations.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What made each “before” message confusing or forgettable
• How clearer intros and elevator pitches made conversations easier
• Ways to describe what you do so ideal clients recognize themselves
• Why simplifying services can actually help you stand out
• What happens when your message finally feels like you

If you learn best by example, this is the episode to listen to. You’ll walk away with inspiration and insights you can apply to your own practice right away.

🎧 Hit play to learn from messaging that works and how to make yours stronger, too.

If you've ever found yourself rambling through an intro, freezing on a consult call, or second-guessing what to say to people about “What you do,” … you're not alone. 

Most service providers and private practice owners were never taught how to talk about their business in a way that connects with the audience and gets a yes.

In this episode, I’m sharing the 4 Core Marketing Messages that every business owner needs to have ready to go so you can confidently share what you do, wherever and whenever the opportunity comes up. And you will learn where to share these in your marketing - website content, emails, blogs, social media and yes, even when talking to people face to face at networking events. 

Hit play on this episode to learn:

• How winging it with your message can cost you referrals and clients
• The 4 types of messages you need to have written and practiced to use anytime, anywhere
• The ONE element your message needs to help people say yes faster

If you’re tired of rewriting BIOs, fumbling through elevator pitches, or wasting time on marketing that doesn’t get results, this episode will help you build a messaging toolkit that actually works.

Listen now and learn what to say so people understand what you do, who you help and how so they know exactly who your ideal client is - whether it is them or someone they know. People wanting to work with you is the key step in booking more clients!

You’ll also hear some examples of messaging gone wrong.

This episode will help you learn what to do to have a clear message and help you finally stop over-explaining what you do.

You can have a steady stream of clients, even from referrals, and still be invisible online - even from people who live in the same area. That’s the hidden trap many service providers fall into - and it’s exactly what we unpack in this special video edition of the podcast.

Kathy C sits down with Mary Beaton to conduct a live marketing review of Mary’s website and Google Business Profile. Mary runs a successful payroll service business, Performance Payroll, but she wasn’t showing up in search results, especially for local people - and wanted to know why.

Here's the thing... your website is like a storefront on a busy street. It has one main job - to convert walkers going by the store into clients. The same as website vistiors should be converting into clients.  

But if the sign on your store is vague, the door is hard to find, and the hours aren’t listed, how will anyone know to walk in? Mary’s online presence was missing the basics - and that was quietly costing her client opportunities.

In this episode, which is also available on YouTube with the video showing what we were checking... Kathy reveals the simple fixes every local service business needs: clear messaging, SEO foundations, and the tools that help your website actually work.

Listen in to learn:
• The 3 backend website mistakes most service businesses make
• Tips to optimize your Google Business Profile to get found locally
• Why messaging clarity matters more than ever
• What payroll and private practice websites have in common

• Why wasted time is the real barrier to growing your practice

If you want to spend less time feeling behind and more time attracting clients, this episode is for you.
