Content & copy
- Medium lift
Google needs content to understand what you do. Under 300 words and it can barely register you. Check yours at wordcounter.net.
- Bigger project
The first thing a visitor reads should reflect what they're going through — not your credentials. "You're looking for a therapist who gets it" beats "Welcome. I'm registered…"
- Bigger project
A bullet list of modalities isn't enough. Clients need to understand what working with you actually feels like, and why your approach fits their situation.
- Bigger project
Credentials matter — but a page that only lists them reads cold. Clients want to know who you are and why you do this work. Aim for 700+ words.
Visibility & SEO basics
- Medium lift
Open an incognito window and search your full name + specialty (e.g. "Jane Smith trauma therapist Toronto"). Your website — not a directory — should be near the top.
- Quick fix
Search your name in Google Maps. No listing? You haven't claimed it. Free to set up, takes about 20 minutes — a must-do for local visibility.
- Quick fix
If yours say "Home" or are blank, that's a missed opportunity. They should include your specialty and location. Check in your website platform's SEO settings.
Conversion & user experience
- Quick fix
If someone has to scroll to find how to reach you, most won't. This should be in your header or hero section on every single page.
- Medium lift
Open your site on your actual phone right now. Readable without zooming? Buttons easy to tap? Most of your prospective clients will see your site on mobile first.
