How to use the web to attract new patients

This post is for mental health specialists in private practice looking to attract new customers using the web and those who want to share tips for doing so.

Here are two VERY helpful websites that can help you attract patients and improve your search ranking:


1. BLOGGER - Create a free account and blog about some helpful topics related to your area of expertise (i.e. become an expert). Be sure to link to your website if you have one. It builds credibility, will give people an additional way to find you, and will help with your web page's search ranking.

2. MYLOCALSPOT - It's a very easy to use site that's like a MySpace for small businesses and professionals. Create a profile with pictures, list of products/services, description of your business and a link to your site. Very easy to use.



Feel free to keep adding sites to the list...
