Episode Details

Many therapists have been telling me that enquiries have slowed down. Some wonder whether it's the cost of living, while others are worried that AI has changed the way clients search for a therapist online.

In this episode, I'm joined once again by Daragh MacLoughlin from WebHealer to explore what's really happening.

Drawing on insights from thousands of therapy websites, Daragh shares what he's seeing as Google search changes. He explains why some websites are attracting more enquiries than ever, and why simply chasing SEO isn't the answer.

Instead, we talk about something much more important: creating a website that is genuinely helpful to the people you most want to work with.

If you've been wondering whether AI is making it harder for clients to find you, I hope this conversation will leave you feeling reassured and give you some practical ideas to strengthen your website.

Takeaways:

• Why therapists may be seeing fewer enquiries and why AI isn't necessarily the whole story.
• How Google search is changing and what that means for therapy websites.
• Why creating a genuinely useful website is becoming more important than ever.
• The connection between knowing your niche and writing a website that attracts the right clients.
• Why helping people get to know you is still one of the most powerful ways to build trust online.
• Practical ways to improve your website without becoming an SEO expert.
