Website Building is an essential skill
that is required for building a successful massage business. Your massage
business website needs to show up on the first spot on the first page of Google
and all of
the search engines. When people type in 'massage your city' your
site needs to be on the top of the page of results for all of the major search
engines. When it does you will be attracting people
who are already looking for massage! The constant challenge of getting
clients is already half over! Once you get your website there, then the
goal is to get people to click on the listing and call for the appointment.
The way that is done is by having the right
words in your listing first of all so that people will click on it. That
is done by using a specific code in your webpage. After people click on
your site, they want to know "What is in it for me?". They usually want to
know if you will be able to handle whatever condition they have or problem that
they have that made them start looking for a massage therapist in the first
place. It is usually some form of stress or pain.
Since people just searching for a massage
therapist won't know you - the next goal is to build trust with your potential
clients.
You can't really do that in a simple 8
page website that just talks about your rates, services and locations.
What makes the difference in getting people to trust you is writing more
about massage, what massage does, how massage works and putting what you
learned in massage school and working with clients into writing. You
don't have to be a writer but just be able to put down in words the things
that you should be talking to clients about anyway. Putting
these things into a website will also help you in talking with people -
potential clients and current clients.
Getting your site to the top of the search
engine results and getting the client to call and become a regular weekly client is what
(SBI!) the webhost
and business building system that I use and recommend, is all about. (See my
clinic site
www.massageseattle.net.) I have the basic process of
creating a website outlined so
that you can see what is involved.
It is all done by understanding how to use
keywords and how keywords make the internet do what it does best- find
information. It is about learning how to pre-sell or build trust with
clients. It is learning what to say on your pages and learn to write for the
client or potential client.
When you use or hire SBI! you get all that
and more.
You can do it all yourself - step by step and
follow their written and video action guide. It begins with keyword
research to choose the best domain name and to plan and build your website.
If you choose to do it all yourself, yes there will be a learning curve but if
you stay with it you will soon be saying "Sorry I am booked for 3 months".
Anyone can do it if you just have patience and the desire for more clients.
These clients will also - like I said before -will be more likely to be your
ideal clients - the one's who value massage and will most likely to be regular
weekly or monthly clients.
When you purchase an SBI! website through one
of these links on this page - send
me an email so I can send you my Massage Therapists Guide to Using SBI! to
help you get started even faster!
Oh, and they will show you how to use your
website to make extra income with your website. I even have gone on to
develop other sites on massage and only work doing massage 2 days a week and
supplement my income just from my creation and writing on these other sites.
So Let me know if you have any questions, comments or feedback!
