Writing is one of the best ways to market your practice. It costs nothing (except your time) and can attract the kinds of people that you like to work with. Through your writing, you can build a strong online presence that will boost your ranking in Google and other search engines.



In this web conference, private practice mental health clinicians will learn how to decide what to write about and where to find reliable, authoritative content. The webinar will describe how to structure your writing, in both content and layout, to attract online audiences so that they read it and pass it on to others. In order to build a strong internet presence, everything you write must include three key elements. Find out what these are and where to distribute your work for maximum exposure.

  1. Explain at least two best-practices principles of Search Engine Optimization (SEO).

  3. List three key elements for SEO writing.
