In this episode, you’re going to learn 6 things that may be killing your website’s page speed and how to fix them.

The goal of your private practice website is to reach your ideal clients and get them the information they need to (hopefully) choose to work with you for therapy.

But when your website isn’t performing well and provides those potential clients with a slow and frustrating experience, chances are they will leave your website without taking the next step.

And Google has also let us know that page speed is one of the top ranking factors for websites.

So if your website is slow, it could mean an impact on your SEO and a loss in organic traffic from search engines.

How can you tell whether your website loads slowly (aside from just looking at it) and what the main issues are that are impacting your page speed?

Let’s discuss 6 things that may slow your website down and how to fix them.

This week on The Private Practice Elevation Podcast, we’re talking all about how to use podcast appearances to market your private practice.

If you’ve been listening to the podcast for some time, you’ve likely heard that I’m a big fan of being featured on other podcasts as a way to market your business.

And for many reasons.

The first is that it is a way to reach your ideal audience in a way that you couldn’t on your own.

It’s also a way to get high-quality links from other websites that link back to yours, which has a HUGE impact on your SEO (search engine optimization).

Not to mention, it makes you look like an expert in your potential client's eyes.

But it can be pretty daunting to put yourself out there and try to book an interview on a podcast you’d like to be a guest on.

And so many private practice owners don’t do it and miss out on the marketing opportunities that go along with podcasting.

To help you overcome these hurdles and get started using podcast appearances in your marketing, we’re talking to Lisa Mustard.

Lisa Mustard is an LMFT and Coach in South Carolina and the host of a podcast called The Therapy Show with Lisa Mustard - a convenient and fun way for Talk Therapists to earn Continuing Education contact hours.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

The most important thing to do before you reach out to a podcast host about being featured on their podcast

How to find the right podcasts to be featured on that will help you reach more of your ideal audience

Tips for reaching out to podcast hosts so that you can be interviewed on their podcast

How to get the most out of your podcast features and use them in your marketing to drive traffic, improve SEO, and increase your authority

How being featured on podcasts can improve your conversion rates by increasing your like, know, and trust factor

Tips for when you feel like interviews maybe didn’t go as great as you had hoped and how to keep working at it

In this episode of The Private Practice Elevation Podcast, we’re going to talk about the most important things you need to know before you start a faith-based therapy practice.

I know many therapists that want to integrate their faith into the work that they do - both clinically and in how they run their practice.

My wife happens to be one of them!

But one thing that can be a challenge is understanding how to position your practice from a faith-based perspective without excluding other clients that don’t adhere to a certain faith.

You may want to bring faith into the work you do, but you may be afraid it will turn other clients off.

So how can you create a practice that stays true to who you are and the faith that’s important to you in such a way that will help you grow your business?

Today we’re speaking with my friend, Whitney Owens, all about building a faith-based private practice.

She’s sharing her wisdom about what she’s learned both firsthand from building her own practice as well as the business owners she consults with.

There are a few key decisions and questions you can answer before starting your own faith-based therapy practice, and Whitney is here to help us unpack them.

In this episode of The Private Practice Elevation Podcast, you’re going to learn 4 simple steps that will help you validate that course topic idea you’ve got swimming around in your head.

With the power of simple online platforms like Teachable and Kajabi, it’s no wonder why so many entrepreneurs and private practice owners are shifting their energy toward creating courses.

It’s a great way to reach more people with your expertise and generate income for something that you’re passionate about.

But one of the biggest challenges to creating a course is nailing down a topic that you’re confident will actually sell.

Because no one wants to pour time, money, sweat, and tears into building an online course just to have it fall flat and have no one buy it.

Validating your course topic is the best way to ensure you’re on the right track toward a course that sells.

James Marland from Course Creation Studio joins me to share 4 steps you can take to validate your profitable course idea.

James is on a mission to support therapists in creating life-changing and profitable online courses. And he believes each therapist has at least one course within them.

In this episode of the Private Practice Elevation Podcast, you’ll learn about an exciting new platform enabling therapists to help more people by helping their clients pay less.

Many therapists in private practice avoid insurance panels like the plague.

It’s a lot to manage and a headache to handle the forms, check the client’s benefits, and keep up with them.

But marketing your mental health services strictly private-pay-only therapy could likely mean many potential clients passing you by just because they’ve deemed your fee too high.

Zaya Health is looking to change that.

They believe “Therapists shouldn't have to choose between running a successful practice and providing accessible care.”

So how can you attract more private-pay clients by saving them money through out-of-network reimbursement? And how can you do it with no extra work on your end?

Our guest today is Christine Li, founder of Zaya Health, and she’s here to answer that very question.

The 4 Mountains are the main pillars or categories that make up a holistic SEO (search engine optimization) strategy for your website.

But there’s actually much more that can and should be done in order to make sure your SEO efforts are truly effective.

It’s when all 4 Mountains are working together that we see exponential growth in organic traffic, bringing more of your ideal clients to your website.
