It would be great if putting a new website online will result in an immediate boost in new business for your counselling or therapy practice. Sadly this is almost never the case as you’ll be up against other well established websites. It takes time to build a site that achieves decent rankings on search engines that generate lots of traffic from relevant visitors.

If you don’t market your website it’s like having a lovely shop in the middle of a wilderness. However good your products or services, business will be hard without customers or clients.

Make the most of the investment in your counsellor business and website by marketing it well, gaining visitors and turning them into customers or clients.
