‍Build Client Confidence With Your Massage Business Website

Your potential massage therapy clients aren’t waiting for you to reach out to them, they are going online to find you. Today, 46% of consumers searched for a local business online at least once a month. The majority of healthcare consumers now start their search for a provider online, as well.  

Technology has enabled your potential clients to look for a new massage therapist whenever and wherever they like. From their desktop or mobile devices, consumers can look for nearby businesses, check out their reviews and even book appointments with local service providers like you while they are at home, at work and on the go.

Today’s savvy searchers know what they are looking for and expect your website to provide it. Instill trust and deliver a quality experience with a professional-looking, up-to-date and informative website, that answers prospective clients’ questions. Make sure essential information such as how to contact you and your hours of operation are up-to-date and easy to find.

Show your commitment by providing stellar online customer service by making a habit of checking on your reviews and responding to them. 

Whether the review is positive or negative, always thank your reviewers for taking the time to provide you with feedback. By doing so, you demonstrate that you value your clients and their opinions and become a part of the conversation.
