Hi, I'm Dave Kats with Therapist Consultants and I have a tip for you.

I will never forget when I was a young man learning about the internet, I did all the things my coach told me to have a good internet presence and yet I wasn't number one in our area. I said to him, "Why am I not number one? I've done everything that you told me to do." He said, "Well, Dave, it's very hard to get to the top unless you have enough reviews." That message stayed with me forever.
If you find that you're not at the top of your internet game and you need to have more new patients so you need a better internet presence, one of the best things you can do for yourself is simply get reviews.

Hi, this is Dave Kats with Therapist Consultants. I have a tip for you.

Most therapists have no idea where they rank as far as the internet is concerned, but I'll tell you the easy way to find out how you rank with Google. First of all, just go to Google search engine and type in therapist or mental health therapist or a counselor or marriage counselor, whatever you are.

If you click on that "See more," you'll see all the listings of everybody in your area.
If you're from Denton, Texas, and a marriage counselor, you'll see all the people that are ranked for marriage counseling in Denton, Texas. Then you...

Hi, this is David Kats for Therapist Consultants, and I have a tip for you.

Now is a good time of the year to update your social media. Why do I say now is a good time of the year? Here's the answer. Because any time of the year is a good time of the year to update your social media, you have to do it continually. Here's what your assignment should be for this week. Go to Google Plus, go to Facebook for Business, go to Instagram, go to Twitter, and go to LinkedIn, and make sure you're represented on all those social media sites. If you're not, get listed on them. Then if you are already listed, beef up your information on those sites, because that's where people see you, and that's where they're drawn into your website, and that's where they make an appointment.
This week, your assignment is to look at all your social media sites, make sure you're listed, and if you are, then boost yourself a little bit by adding some more information. I think it will really help you in your social...
