Don't miss Friday's CFPM webinar with Randy Rosler, Podiatry Content Connection
  

How Patients Really Find You in 2021
In this webinar, you will learn the secret to improving prospects’ search experience so that they happily convert into patients. When patients search online for a new podiatrist, their search starts from any number of entry points outside of their website and travels from one stop to another in any order. While you can’t control where patients will go first or next to get information about your practice, you can increase your visibility, provide the kind of information they seek to make their provider decision easier, and lead them to your website to book an appointment. Please join us in discussing the essential components of a web presence, and how to optimize them to increase your visibility, build your reputation, leapfrog over the competition, and win new patients.

Event Details: Friday, April 16, 2021, 1 - 1:45 p.m. EST
