Does your website get results?
Posted by Julie Onofrio on 05 May 2008 at 11:18 am | Tagged as: Websites for Massage therapists
No other webhosting company helps you create a website that gets results - gets the site to the top of the search engines and gets the reader to make the ‘most wanted response’ -whether it is to click on an ad, buy an ebook, buy an affiliate product or sell your services.
Site Build it! is different and the focus is all about results. They even keep track of what SBI! sites are getting results and have a running list of sites that are in the top 1%. This year I made it to that list with my site www.massagetherapycareers.com !
My clinic site is also moving up quickly in the search engines since I started working on it more a few months ago when I became more committed to getting out of working with insurance companies. There is a guy who I know locally who always was in the top listings who was a programmer in his past career and now my site is right up there on the first page of google results. I am also writing more content for that site to help educate readers about just what it is that massage does. I had a new client last week who never had a massage before in her life who came in and said after reading my website, I was the one she wanted for her first session! My focus is about writing more than just the standard benefits of massage - which by the way I just found out - the big basic benefit that can be found on most everyone’s website or brochure - ‘Massage increases circulation’ - is not a scientifically proven benefit! There is no research that supports that claim as I learned from Tracy Walton who is a prominent massage researcher. This makes having a website even more essential so that you can start talking about what massage really does and how it affects your clients and what you think it is that massage really does. By providing more content about these things you can create a regular following of clients. If you are unsure what to write about just start thinking about what you tell people on the phone or on the table about what that ‘knot’ is in their back or how that muscle contraction affects their posture and over all health.
My focus since last fall has just been creating content, getting links, adding to the look and feel of the site, using Content 2.0 to get readers to help me create pages and it has all paid off. I now am being found for the keywords ‘massage therapy’ and ‘massage therapist’ right up there with massagetherapy.com (ABMP’s website) I am getting an average of 400 visitors a day who are making on average 750 visits - which means people keep coming back.
What other company do you know that focuses on helping you get results? Now you can do the same and start out at a reduced rate when you take advantage of the buy one (for $299 for the year subscription)-get the second one for $100 Mother’s Day Sale - the first time they are offering this for Mother’s Day. So many Mom’s want to work at home to be with their families more while making a financial contribution to the family.
For massage therapists it is a great way to create a website for your massage practice and get a second site to develop into an online business where you can supplement your massage income so you don’t have to always feel so much pressure. It can free you up to do what you do best- doing massage.
Working at home is also becoming more important because of the challenges we are faced with concerning our environment and economy. As the price of gas increases and more families are affected by the housing crisis, it is more imperative to have additional sources of income. Working from home a few days a week can reduce the carbon emissions and the amount of gas being used by the country dramatically.
What you get with a subscription is really the blueprint for taking your massage business online or a business plan for creating an online business.
And anytime you order a Site Build it! business building and webhosting system through one of the links in this blog or through one of my websites, I will invite you to my private SBI! coaching Group at Yahoo! where you will get my support and insights in building a website. Just email me after you purchase your sites.

Hello Julie,
Even though I am not using sitebuildit I am getting great results, but not as good as you are, thats great! I am so glad to hear that you are dong so well. Our massage industry needs individuals like yourself spreading the word about achieving success in this massage marketplace…since our massage colleges are really not doing it, properly anyways.
