Hi Carrie,
Enjoyed listening to your podcast. Very informational.
Would you be willing to share the name and contact information of your web designer?

Google Analytics has, by far, the best way to track visitors to your website and where they find you. It’s free!

Hello Carrie,

Congratulations on your success with your website and online marketing!

I have developed a group website, am listed in psychotherapy locator services (e.g., Psychology Today, 4-therapy.com), and I have developed an AdWord campaign. I am still in the start-up process of tweaking my website and AdWord campaign, and haven’t yet had the returns in referrals that you are enjoying.

Could you give us a ball-park idea of how much of an investment it takes to bring in those 20 referrals per month? And how do you split your investment between AdWords and locator services? Do you find one source better than the other?

Thanks very much for sharing your experience.

Thanks for these recordings!

I am in private practice in Sydney, Australia, which is of course a very different market than the US market, however, I am now getting 95% + referrals a month from my website and at least 3-4 new inquiries a week.

However, I do believe it is important to diversify your marketing efforts and community marketing is still important as an overall strategy for building your private practice.

The most beneficial features of my website have been an online appointment scheduler, my newsletter/blog and testimonials. These are the aspects that I get the most positive feedback from clients.

I also think it is essential that you offer a free product so that you encourage clients to join your email list. This is the first point of contact where you can start building a relationship with potential clients.

I have had a similar learning process to Carrie’s and similar experiences except for website traffic. I am still unclear how to find out the daily level of traffic to my website. How does one do this?
