What we have to realize is this..........how many providers are truly seeking a billing service versus a medical biller??? Even with the clients that I have landed via Craigs list, they (all but 2) were seeking an in-house medical biller. I had to market myself to them. Vista Print has a way to view who comes to your site, ironically most on my website, come from this forum. Every now and then I get providers who have "searched" for a billing company and will send me an email requesting more information. The one provider I did get that way, thank God I am an investigator, she was a scam artist.

That is the program that I am using Charlene. Like you said I am mostly spreading the word on my own besides the search optimizer. I like that vistaprint shows you who has visited your site. I get a lot of visitors from here but I have also got some from other areas here in california.
KLA:

Oh you are in California, I have an internist I bill for from there!! Yes a lot of hits from the forums I belong to. They look at the site, and some send me emails. I prefer them to email me directly because when you see the new contact form notification, you get excited about a possible new client LOL
PMRNC:
A lot of our members get hits from their sites, I am constantly getting requests from doctors for referrals and recommendations from our listings, so they are out there!!
Be careful of the "template" websites, I see so many of them where I say.."I've seen this one before" If you must use a template service go for one that will allow you to buy the unique design if offered. I like Vistaprint for my biz cards and they have gotten better over the years.

$3.99 is not bad at all, but you can save that 3.99 just by learning the basics with HTML and the meta tags, it only takes about 5 min once a month.

Is that just for one URL? Does it spider? I ask because you can do better than $55 a ear and have multiple URL's which is better than depending on the search engines to spider the one site. I have a high end one because I have a website design/hosting company in addition to medical billing and it allows for unlimited URL's, all updates are free and no annual fee.

I definetely need to get better with html. I have a friend who can do it. I am going to have them design a new template for me so my website doesn't look like others and stands apart. I also designed my business cards off of vistaprint but I had my logo created by a design person.
I will google SEO's tonight.
