Questions This Episode Answers

How important is my homepage really, and why does it matter more than I think?

Your homepage is often the very first impression potential clients have of your practice, and it sets the tone for their entire experience. A strong homepage quickly builds trust and helps people know they’re in the right place.

How do I write a headline that helps visitors instantly know they’re in the right place?

A great headline says who you help and what you help them with in simple, specific language. When someone sees their own experience reflected right away, they’re far more likely to keep scrolling.

What’s the right way to use calls to action so visitors know exactly what to do next?

Your homepage should guide visitors toward one clear next step, like scheduling a consultation. When you avoid giving too many choices and make your main CTA stand out, people are much more likely to follow through.

Why do mobile-friendliness and speed matter so much for user experience and SEO?

Most people visit sites on their phones, and if your homepage loads slowly or feels clunky, they’ll bounce instantly. A fast, mobile-friendly site not only keeps visitors engaged but also boosts your chances of showing up higher on Google.
