4. A Simple Trick To Generate More Phone Calls And Leads
This week, I am sharing with you a simple trick that will increase the conversion rate on your website. I see this mistake over and over again with different addiction treatment facilities.
For some reason, treatment centers lose sight of the most important metric that their websites are accountable for. That metric is phone calls. If the purpose of your digital marketing is to generate phone calls, doesn't it make sense to put the phone number front and center? Wouldn't you want to make it as easy as possible for people to call? T
Today, I will share with you a simple design trick to help make that happen for you.
5. Text Messages For Most Facilities Will Stop Delivering. 📵
Michelle Segovia gave us the simple breakdown of a most recent update in call tracking
New national A2P regulations kick in September 1 to block text messages from businesses not approved by the new registration process.
If you haven't registered, the process is currently taking more than 4 weeks. 😬
That means at least one month without your business being able to send text messages. 😬 😬
A2P applies to ALL outbound text messages (including appointment reminders/confirmations) and is especially concerned with the opt-in process.
That’s it for this week.
Let me know what you think of the new format.
Soon, we’ll be launching podcast episodes and even more resources to help you succeed in behavioral health.
Thanks. Talk to you next week.
