Search Engine Optimization has been a marketing technique that, though only a few decades old, has emerged as the number one method of gaining any sort of traction online.

Good Website Designing Takes More than Just Slick, Pretty Graphics

According to the American Chiropractic Association, there are about 60,000 practicing chiropractors in the country. If you are among them, you are up against a lot of competition.

In such a crowded field, being seen is the first step to building a thriving practice. These days, though, people don't look up chiropractors in the Yellow Pages: they look online. Hence, having a website is no longer just a plus, but a bonafide necessity.

Of course, posting a website isn’t all about slick graphics and pretty pictures--though they don’t hurt. Good website designing is the result of many different factors.

Purpose

You shouldn’t commission a website just for the sake of having one--it’s a waste of money and time. Rather, have a clear business objective before starting a website. Everything on the site will therefore serve this purpose.

Social Media Optimization Required After Facebook Algorithm Change

Just because something is small doesn’t mean it’s insignificant. Take, for instance, the 28 million small businesses across the country. According to 2013 statistics, small businesses employ about 50% of the working population and are responsible for creating about 65% of all new jobs since 1995.

Of course, small businesses like chiropractic clinics don’t have big-corporation budgets when it comes to advertising. Luckily, establishments have used social media as a cost-effective way of building an audience and a customer base.

But, if you have been reading the news lately, you have probably heard that Facebook has changed its algorithm yet again, giving even higher priority to posts from friends and family, thus pushing branded content further down the timeline. For smaller businesses that utilize Facebook for marketing, this is no small matter.
