I am a doctor and want a website, how do I get this created and marketed? – Brian, Chicago,IL

Hi Brian,

The quickest, cheapest way to get started is to:
1) identify the primary keyword for which you want to be visible.
2) Purchase domain with that keyword in it, and hosting for your website (~$75/yr for both at Godaddy)
3) Setup Wordpress on your new hosting, pick a free wordpress theme and get that uploaded. Make sure you give your new blog the same name as your keyword-focused domain.
4) Add content to your blog about your chosen keywords
5) Do a Google local business submission

Then give it about 1-2 weeks for the website to get spidered and see where you rank. Apply SEO principles as necessary.

Feel free to give me a call to talk through this, I am EST so either right now or tomorrow morning. Once you’re setup, the advantage to Wordpress is that you can do most, if not all, of the management yourself.

All the best!
