Understanding the link between effective marketing and your online presence is becoming increasingly more important. This interactive webinar will discuss the fundamental reasons why Google ranks practices the way it does. We will then run a live, real-time assessment of your practice to look at how Google sees your practice compared to your competitors. This will include your Google local ranking for the top-searched keywords, your area reviews rank and an estimate of the current Google Ads per-click price in your area.

With this information in hand, we will discuss solutions to improve your ranking so you can realize the benefits of an effective online presence.
