COVID-19 has certainly changed the way we all do business.

Recently on the podcast, we spoke about how COVID-19 has changed SEO strategy for therapy practices, how to do Google ads during the pandemic, and the new opportunities therapists can work on during quarantine

But this week we’re going to talk specifically about what group practice owners can do to market their private practices during this pandemic.

Now that we’re a few months into the quarantine, it’s clear that many of the changes we’ve had to make in our businesses will be here to stay.
