Atlanta Chiropractors – How many local customers are looking for you?

Back pain is a popular search: Atlanta Chiropractors need to know

On Offer: 1 x Spineless ManI did some research today on chiropractors and noticed that when I just use “chiropractor” the 7 pack was 3 spots down and the rest of the page was directories. Yet when I added the modifier chiropractor “chiropractor Atlanta” the 7 pack was top and the rest of the page was organic websites. Another caveat is that the people int he 7 pack were different.

What this means for local Atlanta marketing is that the highest volume search term is already being returned with local results, and that even with a qualifier like “Atlanta” getting into the 7 pack will become essential for local Atlanta chiropractors.

Here are some search numbers for chiropractors in atlanta:

“chiropractors Atlanta” 1600 per month – costs $3.80 for PPC

“chiropractor atlanta”  1600 per month – costs $4.74 for PPC

“atlanta chiropractors” 720 per month – costs $4.74 for PPC

“chiropractors in atlanta ” 260 per month – costs $4.19 for PPC

these 4 terms = 4180 searches per month

“chiropractors” 450,000 per month

“chiropractor” 1,220,000 per month

“chiropracter” 27,000 per month

How much is a new client worth to Atlanta Chiropractors?

Lets say your average office visit is $50 and each clients normally comes 12x a year this means that a new client is worth aprox – $600 a year or more!

How cost effective is search engine optimization for local businesses like a chiropractor?

So over 8000 people a month are searching for chiropractor/s atlanta

The top 3 spots get 85% of all clicks on the page

The first listing gets 2/3 of those clicks

Just the numbers mam

Meaning the top 3 local listings can expect to get the lions share of traffic – clicks ( aprox – 4100)

The first listing will most likely get 2/3 of those ( aprox -  2600)

If only 10% of those people follow thru with an appointment that lucky Atlanta chiropractor could conceivably get over 260 new clients !

and if you remember that each client is worth a yearly $600 then that could be over $153,000 on new client business a year!. Now imagine getting over 200 new clients each month – could your chiropractic business even handle that?

and someone is already paying an average of $4 for PPC for those terms meaning getting organic results is equal to scarfing up over $16,000 in FREE traffic.

Heck even getting only 1% could mean 26 new clients in one month generating an added revenue of over $15,000.

Right now many local Atlanta businesses are struggling to get new clients,
but the search numbers show that people are still out there shopping, even if more carefully. If you are willing to invest in your future – local search marketing could be the marketing solution for you.

Local SEO to do list:

I will be putting out a video soon that shows this research process and some other important things to consider for local businesses. If nothing else, go Google a term you think people are using to find your business ( NOT your company name) -See who comes up and where you stand. If the map comes up with names, click on the top two and see who is getting the lions share of traffic. THESE are your real competitors.

Local business online marketing – what works?

Local marketing has changed. It used to be fine to have a spread in the local paper and a yellow pages ad, but now these tools just aren’t working for most businesses. So what does work in todays economy and marketplace?

Here is the short answer:

Get listed:

Make sure you have a strong business profile that is updated and distributed to the tight places so you show up

Get optimized:

Make sure your business is associated with the keywords your customers are actually using to look for you and that all links funnel folks back to your business information

Get Connected:

Do what you do in your local community (just do it online)

Be visible:
Get in front of local customers when and where they are searching for you.

Be social:
Make sure people can get to know you in a variety or places and groups

Be Unselfish:
You already know this in real life – but you might not know how to do this online. Provide good information, make it easy to find and follow up with helpful and relevant messages (not just selling)

Woolworth & Sun Life Co. - Montreal 1957Yeah, But will it work for MY business?

Many local businesses assume marketing online will not work for their business. Some have been discouraged with the internet because they invested hard earned money on a website that hasn’t made a cent or dropped thousands of dollars on Adwords only to get poor leads. Marketing online is challenging. (to say the least)

What we know works (and its’ also what makes us different)

Our take on it is this: Use the same qualities that make your business a success offline a way to attract new local customers online. If you provide great customer service, provide great online content, (think: how – to articles or videos, common questions or product demos) If you have great expertise in your area share that online. (think: articles about top ten tips, things to watch out for or how to customize your _____ )

See – that  isn’t so bad. Let us handle the technology while you handle all the extra business!
