A couple of pieces of information that can really help get your listing on page 1 of Google are:-

• Listing your hours of business
• Include properly tagged photos.

What a day it was yesterday and I’m sorry you were disappointed.

I created a FREE Video walk through of how Google Local Business works and how you absolutely must me in there to be in the best spot for attracting new clients.

The video was then uploaded to our Amazon S3 account.

The blog page was created for the video and published.

Our team (including yours truly) tested that everything worked and then the blog page was published.

So far so good.

So the next thing was to let my subscribers know about this FREE Video.

We tested the email (before I sent it to my subscribers) to ensure that the links to the video worked, which they did.

At this point when everything was aligned we pressed the button and the emails went out.

For the first couple of hours everything was running fine with hundreds of people clicking on the link in their email and then watching the video.

And then ………………….

MY PAGE DISAPPEARED !!!!!!!!!!

That’s right, the blog page completely disappeared and anyone who clicked on the link from the email I sent them got a page not found 404 error.

Now her’s the weird thing.

I went to my blog admin and looked for the page that was not supposed to be there.

The page was there in the administration area of my blog and when I updated the page it still would not display.

After a lot of checking and rechecking it turned out to be the permalink structure, though god knows how that became corrupt.

Anyway, I just wanted to say sorry to all you folks who tried to watch the FREE video but did not get the chance.

Now the good news is that the page is back up and you can Watch the FREE Video called Therapists – Get In Google Local Search Today by clicking on the link.

Do you know what the Google Local Search Results are?

Over the past few days I’ve been surveying my readers to find out if they knew anything about the Google Local Search.

Many of you did not know what I was on about, so that got me to thinking that I should create a video to show you what its all about and how it’s vital that you get your therapy practice in there.

The Google Local Search results are the 7 companies or organizations that appear at the top of the Google search results when you do a popular search in Google. i.e. when you do a search for “New York Therapist” then you’ll see that a map of New York appears and along side that map are the 7 Local  organizations or individuals that Google believes to be the most relevant to that search term.

Do you use the Google Keywords Tool?

So you come up with a good idea for a great blog post.

You research your idea and then sit down to write your post.

When you do your research do you check to see which keywords people are using to find the topic that you are writing about?

If you don’t then you are really limiting the number of people who will be able to find your new post.

It’s vital that you research your keywords so as to ensure that you will attract new visitors.

I actually did a video on this very subject that shows how to use the Google Keywords Tool.

The blog post and video is called Keyword finder how to video

The keywords tool shows you the number of people who are searching for a keyword both locally and globally.

i.e. at the time of writing (Sept 23rd 09) if you typed into the keywords tool the phrase Google Keywords Tool then you would see that there were 5,400 searches for this phrase in the month of August 09.

Having this kind of intelligence allows you to create a post around a phrase or topic  safe in the knowledge that people are searching for this type of information.

Other keywords that came up in the search for Google Keywords Tool were Google Adwords Keyword Tool, Google keyword suggestion tool and Google keyword tool search.

It’s also a good idea to sprinkle throughout your blog post the associated keywords that google will display along with your original search request.

You should also use these search terms in your tags fo your post.

If you take a look at the video I mention above, all will be revealed.

Just taking a little time to use this free tool can have a dramatic effect on the visibility of your blog post and the number of visitors you will subsequently get.

I first used Google Chrome about a year ago and I found it really fast compared to Firefox.

The main stumbling block with Google Chrome was that I was not able to include the plugins normally found in Firefox.

Anyway, in the last couple of weeks I’ve been trying Google Chrome again having accepted the fact that at this time I can’t install the plugins that I’m used to.

I must say that it’s really fast and very easy to navigate.

Have a look below at what others are saying.

There’s little or no chance of anybody finding you if you’re on page 62 of Google!

What you need to do is to create a program to ensure on a week to week basis that you are allocating and deploying time for your marketing efforts.

Now marketing ‘On Line’ is much easier than offline if you know what to do.

Learning how to market yourself online is not really that hard once you learn the basics.

The rewards for applying those techniques on a regular basis will really pay dividends for your therapy practice.

In a short period of time if you apply what you’ll learn you will achieve incredible results GUARANTEE.

In my opinion every therapist should allocate a minimum of at least 1 hour per week to marketing their therapy business online.

The more structured time you spend marketing your therapy practice, the quicker the results will come.

Now in order to test drive the membership system before we roll it to the thousands of therapists who are wanting to become members, I’m making available just 50 Charter Memberships available at a ridiculously discounted price. So if you want to be the #1 Therapist in your area GUARANTEED then the next thing that you need to do is to fill in your name and email address in the box below and I will let you have the details of the program.
