You may think an easy-to-remember URL is all you need for customers to find your practice.

And once they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re on Google, research has shown their attention spans are short \u00e2\u20ac\u201c according to a recent study, 95% of searches end with the user clicking on one of the first few results.<\/p>\n

Google\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s guidelines are always changing. SEO practices that once guaranteed great placement have become less effective, and others have been banned altogether.
