Chiropractors advised to watch out for scams
by Vera Arteaga
A post made to the popular chiropractic website, chiropractic blogs, advises chiropractors to be wary of parties and individuals marketing shady internet services, geared towards attracting new consumers from local communities.
There is no doubt more people are searching for doctors of chiropractic online. While it is important for all chiropractors to have some kind of online presence, it is also important for them to watch out for websites that appear to pop-up over night, promising loads of new clients, and suggesting that if they don’t join now, they may be locked out on opportunity.
“The reality is that this is nonsense” says chiropractic internet guru and founder of Planet Chiropractic, Michael Dorausch. “Almost any chiropractor with a google adwords account, or similar, can advertise their website, or even a single webpage in a top position.” What Dorausch refers to are those paid ads that appear on big search engines like google, yahoo, and msn.
What chiropractors should not forget is that there are many great opportunities available to them. They should not feel “locked in” to any one model of advertising online.
Nearly all state and national associations have directories chiropractors can be listed in, however they do have to be members to get included. There is also a directory for members of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA). Parents seeking chiropractic care for their kids can search here: ICPA Locator
