I know, it sounds crazy, but that&#8217;s how people think in this fast-paced era of communication.<\/p>\n<p>So, it&#8217;s important to be preemptive in our approach.<\/p>\n<p>If your content appears stale upon the initial impression, people will stay on your blog for less time and will always be searching for something newer. If you&#8217;re not careful, this will be an Achilles heel in regards to your new patient acquisition efforts from social media.<\/p>\n<p>Also, if you have your posts dated, the blog can show substantial time-lapses between postings or even when you posted last. This is not good at all, as the website visitor won&#8217;t think the content as fresh and applicable.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>It&#8217;s important that prospective patients always perceive you as CURRENT and not out-of-touch.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If you&#8217;re currently with a chiropractic website company, send an email to their support staff and tell them to remove the dates on your blog posts. If you have a custom website or blog, contact whoever created the site and ask them to help.<\/p>\n<p>There are video trainings on YouTube that show you how to do it if you have a WordPress blog, but they&#8217;re not always reliable. Defer to an expert and just get it done quickly.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think? Leave a comment below to let me know.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013<\/p>\n<p>Did you like this post?
