More than 2 seconds and you're losing traffic and can get bad rankings. After years of trying all kinds of options (usually 2-3 plugins to do the work), I am now using WP Rocket. It's a premium account, but it does most of the job OK. Of course, you need to be careful with how you handle...

My clients usually have Facebook and Instagram by default. Some use LinkedIn as well. In some cases, if they have good videos, we also use Youtube. None so far are using Threads. I do manage an account that kills it on TikTok though, but it's not in healthcare.

To be honest X is a piece of junk after Musk got his hands on it, I stopped using it altogether. And Threads .. I never even attempted using it. I am already using Facebook (mainly to connect with friends) and LinkedIn a little. Marketing wise, probably the best one is the platform you get a...

It's sensational for SEO, but to be honest I don't have the time to work on it. You need to work for months until you get some decent following and then a trickle of traffic. Ideally either spend time on a daily basis or outsource it.

Most SEO plugins now have an auto-indexing feature (at least RankMath PRO, which I use). To "force" indexation though, if GSC doesn't work or you cannot access it (say you want to index a third party which links to you), you can try using Omega Indexer. I have used it in the past.

Go to Google Search Console. Click on SITEMAPS and submit your sitemap URL. Usually it's either website.com/sitemap.xml, website.com/sitemap_index.xml. If you enter website.com/sitemap.xml in your browser, the SEO plugin should take you to the right page. Here is how the GSC interface looks for...

Yes, as Nomad mentioned, NAP (Name Address Phone number) should be consistent throughout all citation areas. On your website, Google Business Profile and all the directories you submit the info to.

Yeah, self-hosted, which allows me (and my clients) to have full control.

There are millions of websites that run Wordpress very well, and the software is constantly upgraded. I have started using it 20 years ago and, except for forums (for which I like to use Xenforo), I use it for any kind of website.

I have a premium subscription to Elementor (which I need to discontinue :)). I have used it in the past, but now I am more inclined to use the native Wordpress blocks (Gutenberg). Pretty nice and clean.

The website NEEDS to be responsive/mobile-friendly and pass Core Web Vitals in the speed check:https://pagespeed.web.dev/ Otherwise it will not be indexed or, if indexed, will get kicked out of the search engine. A payment gateway needs to be set immediately (how will you earn money...

Yeah, even if it's a small price, it adds up and you don't have to bother onboard again. Once a client accepts the subscription payment (and is happy, of course), you get some money every month. If you scale up properly, it can be a decent income. I am considering a PREMIUM subscription here...

Make use to SKU and other stock inventory options and most of the platforms would most likely keep track of what you have.

Based on my experience, after having worked or having clients on opencart, magento (when it was free) and shopify: the best optio is woocommerce (with Wordpress). I find it the best to manage and from my SEO point of view, the easiest to rank properly.

I have no problems paying for premium (I have a handful of premium subscriptions even for Wordpress), but when it comes to ecommerce, I'll always choose Wordpress + WooCommerce. I just switched a client from Shopify, it was a pain in the tuckus to run a website there.

When writing medical copy, you need to balance accuracy with readability while maintaining a tone that doesn't put your readers to sleep :) Not to mention the entire website needs to show you as an AUTHORITY in the medical field, so that you don't get penalized for running an YMYL (your money...

To rank locally, you'd need to have the "service" name somewhere and, ideally, the location. Something like dallasdentalpros.com, landscape-houston.com, injurydoctornyc.com. Keep is short, don't go crazy with something like chiropractorprofessionalsdowntownlosangeles.com for instance, people...

I usually stick to the .com option. Have purchased .net or .org before, but it's usually because the domains had pretty high DR (Domain Rating) and a hefty backlink profile. Otherwise I'll try to either use a dash or find something similar. For my main business, webdesignnj.com, this domain was...

Yeah, I know, we'd all like to be millionaires :D Seriously now, what online income do you think would be OK for you to make a decent living? What is your targeted income for this year, for instance?

I know we have a lot of freelancers here and small business owners. Are you earning an income online? How much? Can you already make a living out of it?
