We've only been writing these reports for 7 weeks, so I suppose it only makes sense that some weeks will be less interesting. And this is one of those weeks. There's just not much movement.

Seriously, skim through the big ups and downs (highlighted in green and red) above. Sure, there are some shifts looking back 4 weeks ago, but within the last week? Hardly anything!

Same situation here... Nothing super interesting to write home about for changes in the past week. And we've previously reported on these dips that are highlighted in the four-week comparison.
Domain Presence in the Top 10
This is a breakdown of the most common domains found at each search result position. The first 10 positions are the most critical, as they appear on the first page, so this breaks it down for positions 1 through 10.

I feel like any time I write up a report, it results in the same sentence being included: LinkedIn and Psychology Today are consistently hard to top when it comes to therapist search results. And this week is no different.
Sorry for the brief report this week, but why drag it out when there's not much news to report! As always, if you notice anything odd in your own personal search report (which you can get weekly for free!), please loop us in. Sketchy or concerning or mysterious websites will be first noticed by individual clinicians, long before they ever hit the top results that I ultimately review for this report. But your sudden inclusion in a new directory could be the canary in the coal mine we need to make others aware!
Have a wonderful week!
Jon
