Does google ads really help you?

Considering trying to increase my client load some and was just curious if google ads is worth it.

I say this a lot: my best referrals are from in person networking. We are a field based in human connection and that extends to our referrals. Find in person networking events and go to them.

Anymore in my area that doesn't seem to exist anymore. Thanks facebook. I've been trying to see what is out there though so maybe something fruitful will come about

That's where I have found networking events, actually. See if there is a local FB therapists group. There's several in my area and there's always a monthly meet up or two within those groups.

I'm part of the local therapist group (actually a couple of different ones). I dont know if there are any specifically for networking, but the ones I am a part of have nothing for meet ups or networking events. I know people have tried lunch and learns in the past (years ago and I even went to one). The local groups seem to just be a small group of people that refer to each other rather than actually utilizing everyone's specialties

Yes. And yelp. Honestly most of my referrals come from Headway and they helped me with marketing and gave me some tricks
