Chiropractic Website Marketing with Killer SEO Strategies

By Matthew Loop

Are you one of those chiropractors that has purchased an expensive website and hired a costly Search Engine Optimization (SEO) firm to do the marketing and promotion for you? If so, odds are you're getting "bent over" because of how little you know about internet marketing and optimization.

What would you think if you were told that you could bank nearly 70% of what you're spending now by doing the SEO yourself, utilizing special outlets that come to you at no charge? The reality is that what you're spending to market your practice is actually destroying your practice.

Search engine optimization (SEO) is basically the method of improving the volume, popularity, and quality of visitors to your chiropractic website from search engines like Google, Yahoo, and MSN, via natural search results. Typically, the higher a site is shown in the search results, or the better it ranks, the more people will stumble upon that site. SEO can also zero-in on different types of searches, including image searches, local searches, and niche-specific searches.

If you want to be wildly successful at SEO, you don't need to do it all by yourself. In fact, you can completely outsource this job to other employees. You're going to be saving a ton of money doing this, without dealing with some expensive firm. You're also going to see a great increase in new buzz and new patients walking through your doors.

When learning the basics of SEO for your chiropractic marketing online, you want to incorporate things like video submissions, article submissions, social bookmarking sites, blogs, blog comments, forum posts, press releases, and back-links for specific keywords. Having a blueprint and combining all of these together regularly will sky-rocket your presence on the search engines and ensure your spot for the long-term.

It's time we all figured out that paying a huge fortune to make a fancy website doesn't mean a thing, because you need to find ways for people to know that expensive site exists! This is why so many chiropractors are throwing their money down the drain and not seeing any new patients walking through the door. If you're not successfully marketing your website, you're not going to see any return in profits.

If you're looking to establish a massive presence online and to get new patients from the internet, study someone that's already been really successful. Learning the basics of effective SEO can lower your marketing costs substantially and turn a portion of your practice on autopilot. For example, videos that you put out are gaining views 24 hours a day so they continue to work while you sleep.

Once people begin to know you and your practice, you're going to see consistently more patients walking through your doors needing assistance for what you're trained to do. Not only do you have to know about SEO and modern marketing, you also have to know how to implement these skills correctly to succeed.
