Do therapist reviews feel like an ethical minefield for your private practice? Let me help you cut through the confusion! In this episode, I'm talking about how reviews can make or break your visibility online - whether you're a brand new therapist or you've had your practice for years.

You'll learn exactly where to get reviews (Google Business Profile isn't your only option!), who you can ethically ask for testimonials (hint: it's not always off-limits to ask clients), and a simple monthly system that takes minutes to maintain. I'll give you the exact script to use when asking for reviews so you don't sound awkward or desperate. Plus, I'll show you why local reviews matter more than ones from across the country, and how to make sure your reviews sound authentic instead of keyword-stuffed. 

This is truly one of the most cost-effective marketing strategies available to private practice therapists today. And the best part is you can start implementing this strategy immediately after listening. Tune in and watch your visibility skyrocket!
