In this episode, Jerry addresses a question he received multiple times in one week from chiropractors: Why are there so many website visitors and so few new patients? He breaks down this common concern and explains why these numbers often don't align in the way chiropractors expect. The episode offers perspective, highlights common misconceptions, and gives practical advice for improving website conversion. The Misunderstanding: Expectations vs Reality Many chiropractors expect a high percentage of website visitors to become new patients. In reality, this is not how online marketing works—especially with cold traffic. Chiropractors who believe they should convert 50% or more of website visitors into patients are setting themselves up for disappointment. Even a 6% conversion rate on cold website traffic is considered very good. Jerry explains that in his experience with info products and affiliate marketing, getting a 3% conversion rate was difficult. A 6% conversion would have been life-changing. Chiropractors need to calibrate their expectations and understand what's normal. Cold Traffic vs Warm Leads One of the biggest issues is confusing cold traffic with warm leads. Cold traffic includes people who: Find your site through Google or ads Have no prior relationship with you Haven't been referred and don't trust you yet These people convert at a very low rate. In contrast, warm leads are: Referred by friends or family Already familiar with you through social media or community presence Former patients or those who've interacted with your brand Warm leads should convert at a much higher rate. If you're only converting a small percentage of these, something is seriously wrong. Website Traffic Doesn't Equal Potential Patients Looking at gross visitor numbers assumes every visitor is a potential new patient, which is simply not true. Website visitors may include: Bots or spam traffic Competitors Existing patients checking hours or contact info People outside your service area Accidental clicks Unless you're running a tightly controlled ad campaign with a direct funnel, gross website numbers are a poor indicator of performance. Conversion Isn't Always Linear Unless your practice relies 100% on online scheduling, you can't assume that every new patient came through the website. People may call, text, message you on social media, or walk in. If your site visitors and new patient numbers aren't lining up, it could be because they're taking other paths into your practice. Trying to compare total website visits with total new patients is misleading because: Not every visitor is a qualified lead Not every new patient visits the website before booking A Volume Reality Check Jerry gives a basic example of how conversion typically plays out: 500 website visitors 3% click on the “schedule now” button = 15 people 50% of those actually schedule = 7 to 8 people 75% of scheduled appointments show up = about 5 to 6 new patients This is a realistic scenario and shouldn't be considered a failure. In fact, it's fairly normal. Google Business Profile (GBP) Can Be Even More Misleading Many chiropractors see huge views on their GBP listings—1,800 or more in a month—but still get only a handful of new patients. That gap can be discouraging, but again, it's common. The takeaway isn't that you should ignore these numbers but that you need to understand what they really mean. Visibility without conversion isn't useful unless your site and profile are compelling enough to get people to take action. How to Improve Website Conversion Jerry offers several practical ways to improve your chiropractic website's performance: 1. Simplify and organize your site. Avoid clutter. Too many chiropractic sites overwhelm visitors with too much information and no clear direction. Think of your website like a path through the woods—give people obvious cues about where to go next. 2. Make your content easy on the eyes. Presentation matters. Use formatting that's readable, clean, and skimmable. Don't dump a wall of text on your visitors. 3. Use patient-centered language. Skip the jargon. Don't talk about “optimizing health potential.” Focus on problems and solutions your ideal patients care about. 4. Add trust signals. Include real photos, staff bios, patient reviews, video introductions, and even relevant social media content. Authenticity builds trust. 5. Make scheduling easy. The best options are texting and online scheduling. Phone calls are okay. Email is the worst—slow, unreliable, and frustrating for both sides. Final Thought Unrealistic expectations are one of the biggest killers of progress. Chiropractors often get discouraged because they're comparing raw numbers without understanding what those numbers mean. Not all traffic is equal, not all visitors are prospects, and not all new patients will come through the same channel. Focus on what you can control—clear messaging, simplified navigation, strong calls to action, and easy ways to schedule.   Want Help Growing Your Practice?

Maximize your Google Business Profile to improve local SEO, generate more leads, and protect your online presence. Show Notes Page: https://www.thehowofbusiness.com/573-marco-silva-google-business-profile/ For small local businesses, visibility online can make or break your customer acquisition efforts. In this episode, Henry Lopez is joined by Marco Silva with Oostas to break down why your Google Business Profile (GBP) may be your single most important marketing asset, and how to use it to your full advantage. Google Business Profile is a free tool that helps your business appear on Google Search and Maps. Marco explains the three key factors that influence visibility - relevance, distance, and prominence - and outlines how to optimize your profile for each. From accurate hours to high-quality photos, and from managing user edits to strategically collecting reviews, every element of your profile impacts whether or not potential customers find you. "Think of your Google Business Profile like your storefront window—it needs to be clean, fresh, and inviting if you want people to walk in." - Marco Silva He walks listeners through the modern verification process, which now often includes submitting a video or documentation, instead of the old postcard method. Henry emphasizes that failing to claim and maintain your GBP can leave your business vulnerable and invisible. They also dive into review strategies, how to ask for them tactfully, why the quality and quantity of reviews matters, and what role keywords play in visibility. Marco explains how reviews written by customers (not replies) help with local ranking and how to handle both positive and negative feedback publicly. To tie it all together, Marco introduces a $99 GBP Pulse Check from Oostas, a trusted partner of The How of Business. The GBP Pulse Check is an in-depth audit with personalized video feedback and actionable tips for improvement. As a bonus, Henry encourages listeners to download a free resource: “5 Ways to Supercharge Your Google Business Profile” from the show notes page.

Jeff Hancock is the CEO of Coinpass, a UK-based crypto exchange acquired by OANDA in 2023. He's bringing crypto and traditional finance closer together in a secure, regulated way. Why you should listen ​​Born in London in 2018, Coinpass climbed the regulatory mountain early, securing an FCA crypto-asset registration and then catching the eye of multi-asset heavyweight OANDA, which snapped up a majority stake in August 2023. Now the exchange enjoys the deep pockets and risk-management chops of a global FX giant while keeping its Union-Jack credentials intact.  Coinpass is unapologetically business-first: corporate and SSAS pension accounts, OTC desks, Faster Payments for GBP, SEPA Instant for EUR, and a Fireblocks-secured custody stack. The offering tops out at roughly 18 coins across 50 pairs, with auto-trade DCA tools and a staking “Earn” programme. As the FCA's May 2025 paper ushers in a tougher regulatory era, Coinpass is already playing the game two moves ahead—fully registered, audit-ready, and backed by OANDA's deep balance sheet. Its curated asset list and institutional-grade spreads may forego meme-coin noise, but they deliver what CFOs and treasurers actually need: transparent pricing, instant GBP rails, and a compliance posture built to glide through tomorrow's rulebook. While other exchanges scramble to retrofit governance, Coinpass stands out as the gold-standard gateway for UK digital-asset professionals—future-proof, rock-solid, and ready to scale.

Welcome dear listener to the podcast of the 2024-25 Premier League Champions. I'm Paul and I am joined by Sean. We are recording this a week after the Reds picked up the Premier League trophy and had a very big parade. We'll do a short review of the Palace game, look back at the big red weekend, reflect on PSG's Champions League win and then start to look ahead as Liverpool seek to defend their title..Part One - Reds draw with Crystal Palace at Anfield in session ending game - xG 2.14 to 1.77 - 35 to 15 touches in the opposition boxGame, slow start, real wall of sound for the last 10 to 15. The non-call handball - Darren fuckin England again. Salah's 29th goalTrophy lift and the Parade with one bad actor claiming too much of the narrativeThe national reporting of Liverpool's title has been bizarre - Mo Salah just matched the goal involvement totals of Shearer and Cole in 4 less games. POY on every measure.Part Two - knock out football is tough - Champions League Final20th anniversary of IstanbulLost to PSG on penalties and somehow Villa and Arsenal occupy more of the narrativeNation states - thanks to Clive Tyldelsey for bringing it upPart Three - looking ahead:What is Richard Hughes trying to solve for - pace, between the lines, learning from PSG?Jeremy FrimpongWirtz - looks like we will have to pay moreKerkez - personal terms agreed?10m Euros for TAA, up to 19m GBP for Caoimnhe We will be back with more reflections and looking ahead.
