Purpose of Your Website?

You have a website to grow our practice.  How does a Call to Action grow your practice (see below...)?

It's very simple, in order for you to grow your practice via your website, you need to have potential patients;

1.  Sign Up to your email subscription list
2.  Call to schedule an appointment

These are the two ways a website can grow a medical practice.  Building an email list and generating patient appointments are the only call to action examples you will need. 

A Call to Action simply invites your reader to complete 1 or 2 tasks which are the goals of your website.  They are simple reminders.

The Call to Action should be easy to find and obvious.
