Every therapist wants their clients to be able to find them. SEO (or search engine optimization) is the process of improving the chances that you'll get traffic from search engines like Google, and it helps increase the likelihood that the people searching for help in your area of expertise can find you. To help us understand the basics of using keywords properly for SEO success, I've interviewed Dr. Marie Fang from Private Practice Skills. So whether SEO has been a complete mystery to you or you haven't even heard of it until today, you're going to come away from this episode with practical steps to apply to your own website.
