20/20 Money Episode #133 – Using the “Google My Business” to grow your patient base: an audible website case study with Dr. Rich Zimbalist

May 24, 2021

On this episode of 20/20 Money! My guest on today’s show is Dr. Rich Zimbalist. Rich (who’s been on the show in the past) is a practicing OD with the VA in Columbia, Missouri and has turned his passion of website design into a business of helping optometrists around the country grow their practice through website design search engine strategies.

I’ll admit this episode is a bit unorthodox as we turned the topic of organic search engine optimization (SEO) into an audible case study. We did this by having me play the part of a patient looking for a new eyecare provider and quite literally giving the audible play-by-play of not only the results that I was seeing in front of me, but what strategies you as a practice owner can execute on your own website so that new patients in your area find you the way that I found the ECPs that were coming up in my search.

As a reminder, you can get all the information discussed in today’s conversation by visiting our website at integratedpwm.com and clicking on the Learning Center. While there, you can also set up a 20-30min Triage conversation to learn a little bit more about how we help ODs around the country reduce their tax bill, manage cash flow, and make proactive money decisions or check out any number of additional free resources like our eBooks and on-demand webinars.
