As SEO consultants, Russ and I are often asked "What do I post on my website"?  It's simple, your content should be educational.  Your content should teach your patients whether it's on a website, YouTube, or social media platform such as Facebook.  Educational content does more than just each your patient, too.  Use this same content to boost website rankings, improve your brand as an authority and improve clinic flow and approval ratings.

HTTPS means your website is safe.  Converting your website to HTTPS means your site can be trusted, your visitors' information is safe and the content on your site is legitimate.  HTTPS requires obtaining an SSL certificate for you site.  The SSL is website specific, can not be transferred and must be purchased yearly.  Regardless if you sell goods online, everyone needs an SSL - it has been "required" for SEO rankings and soon, sites without an SSL will be flagged as an "Unsecure Site."
