    The Evolution of SEO as we shift to Gemini

    Ready to grow your practice without seeing more clients? Discover the hiring system behind a 55-therapist practice in my FREE Masterclass: The Hiring Method → https://mccancemethod.com/the-hiring-method-behind-a-55-therapist-practice/  In this episode, I sit down with SEO expert Chris Morin to talk about how AI is completely changing the way therapists need to think about SEO. We unpack what it takes to stand out in the Gemini era, why your website has to prove you’re real, and how to make sure your online presence builds trust with both search engines and potential clients. Make sure to bring your paper and pen because this episode is full of actionable tips! Here are some key points in this episode: [03:13] Why content alone is no longer enough for SEO. [06:08] How to prove your therapy practice is real online. [07:22] Why endorsements matter more than ever. [09:23] How to strengthen your bio page for AI SEO. [19:07] Why AI search responds faster than Google. [31:02] Whether blogs still matter for SEO. Links From The Episode: Work with Moonraker, book a strategy call here - https://moonraker.ai/free-strategy-call/      More About Chris: Before marketing, I was a massage therapist for over 15 years, providing chair massage to local businesses. That work connected me to countless wellness providers and I had the opportunity to experience firsthand their deep desire to be of service in a world that desperately needs healing. I also witnessed how so many amazing practitioners struggle to connect with the clients who need their services the most. A highly intuitive group, many feel that digital marketing is overwhelming, causing them to avoid the necessary steps to establish an online presence. My goal is to help therapists and wellness providers boost their online visibility and connect with their ideal clients so they can build the practice of their dreams." Want to Connect with Chris?

Check it out here on YouTube: https://youtu.be/rdz1Crf3ZHs In this episode, I sit down with Daniel King from Fireside Strategic to talk about what buyers are really looking for when it comes to purchasing a group therapy practice. As an investor in outpatient practices and someone who also represents practice owners looking to sell, Daniel brings a unique perspective on both sides of the transaction. We unpack what makes a practice attractive, what to focus on now if you want to sell in the future, and the biggest things that can increase your value along the way.

More about Daniel: Daniel began his career in M&A law at a large firm and then went to the deal team of a Shark on the TV show, drafting contracts and due diligence.  He saw many small companies grow so quickly their people burned out, inspiring a passion for the human side of business. He left law to train as an executive coach and built a few companies in the coaching industry, failing once, and then selling another (which served the legal industry). At Fireside, he leverages his experience with M&A and org psych to build a mental health business without burnout. Daniel studied Law at McGill University and Psychology at Columbia University (Teacher’s College). He is a world traveler and veteran of 2 extreme auto races, driving a Fiat from London to Mongolia and a rickshaw the length of India. Want to Connect With Daniel?
