    Ok first off I am a therapist not a full-time SEO strategist, so keep this in mind…my knowledge is mid-level, but I had great success with local SEO and now I am launching another business for continuing education that I would like to show up for these keywords:

    1. How to start a private practice

    2. How to start a counseling practice

    Here are my questions/what I have been doing:

    1. I am blogging about how to start a private practice and other topics related to that niche. None of them are doing super well yet.

    2. I am wondering if it makes more sense to get one of my services pages to rank for these keywords…where I am selling my private practice course? I thought about making that a super long and high quality page and maybe offering a free checklist to collect emails and see if that will rank? Ultimately I want website to lead people into buying my course.

    3. My pagespeed is bad…says mobile is 42 and desktop is 75, I am working to fix this.

    4. I thought about looking at the "People Also Asked" section and blogging about those topics..is this a good strategy?

    5. I have a YouTube channel with 7k followers in this niche…I could get a video ranking on google for something private practice related fairly easily.

    Please roast me…give me any and all advise and TY in advance!!

    “How to start a private practice” is far too broad. Which kind of private practice?

    PageSpeed is not SEO. Its UX. You are not going to rank higher. Go look in your niche – if pages are ranking first and failing CWVs, its not going to help you

    >I thought about looking at the “People Also Asked” section and blogging about those topics..is this a good strategy?

    SEO is a system, not a checklist. Yes but how depends on your Topical Authority levels

    >..I could get a video ranking on google for something private practice related fairly easily.

    Yes but it wont change your sites’ ranking

    > am blogging about how to start a private practice and other topics related to that niche. None of them are doing super well yet

    You need to understand Topical Authority, Corner Stoning and Keyword Research

    Mostly – you need to learn about building authority

    What’s the authority of your site? Are you ranking for any keywords at 1st page?
