If you’ve been monitoring your website traffic (and you should be!) then you may have noticed a big change over the last few months.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic hit the world, it seems like nothing has been safe from the impact.
And that includes your SEO strategy and search engine traffic.
As a result of Coronavirus, there has been a major shift in how your clients are using Google and the types of information they are searching for.
And these changes most likely have meant less traffic to your website, and maybe, fewer clients calling you about your therapy services.
