Check Your Online Presence

Hi, this is Dave Kats with Therapist Consultants, and I have a tip for you. Now is the time to recheck your online presence. I hope that, every so often, you go online and see what other people see about you. Now is time to do that. Go online.

Here's how you start. Go to all the major search engines, which would be Google, Bing, Yelp, and Yahoo, and see if you're listed. If you're not listed, or you're listed but there's very little information about you, you need to claim your listing and make that listing live. If you're already live, you need to make sure that all the information on that listing is right. You will go to Google, and you'll Google yourself, and you'll see if the information is right.

Then you'll go to Bing and use the Bing search engine to make sure your information on Bing is correct. Then you'll go to Yahoo, and do the same thing, and so on. The first thing you do is, with the big four; Google, Bing, Yelp, and Yahoo, we want you to check your internet presence and make sure all your information is correct. You know how sometimes you go through your website and then you haven't been there for a while and you notice, "There's a lot of information that isn't correct here"? Well, the same is going to be true of your search engines. There's going to be information that grew old that isn't correct. If you want to lose your ranking fast, just get a bunch of incorrect information on there, and you'll start to lose your ranking.

Then once you've checked all your search engines, now it's time to go to your social media sites, especially those sites like Instagram or like Facebook, and make sure that all the information listed on your Facebook page and all the information listed on Instagram is correct about you, because you need to have it correct so people can contact you, and so the search engines will rank you higher.

Here's your assignment. Go to all the search engines, make sure your information is correct. Go to all the social media sites, make sure your information is correct. That'll take you a week, and then I'll see you next week. Are you ready to take your practice to new heights? Visit www.TherapistConsultants.com to get started today!
