The moment you have been waiting for has arrived: you started a new therapy practice, it is exciting, this is a dream come true moment for you. But after sometime, and the reality kicks in: so what now? How do you go about getting your first few clients & growing your clients base. Most therapists aren\u2019t taught marketing in school and the online world can seem overwhelming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t need fancy ads or big budgets for this. We are compiling a set of articles with steps & guides(that are mostly<\/em> free) to help new clients discover you naturally<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s start with Part 1: Your Google Business Profile<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

What is Google Business Profile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you only do one thing from this list, do this first. A Google Business Profile<\/a><\/strong> helps your practice appear when someone nearby searches for \u201ctherapy near me\u201d or \u201ccounseling in [my city].\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can take a few minutes to hours to register there, but once your profile is active, clients can find your profile, contact info, location, and opening hours instantly.

Most of people use google\/maps to search for anything, and this ensures that when people search for therapy near me(or a similar query), your profile shows up in the list

Collect Google Reviews<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once it\u2019s live, you’ll receive an email notification & your business will be live on Google Maps. Encourage happy clients to leave a review on your google profile. Centers and therapists with more positive reviews appear higher in local results, which means more potential clients will see your name first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Start with one step at a time, set up Google Business first, then move on to your website and content. Within a few months, you\u2019ll start seeing more inquiries without spending a cent on ads.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
