What’s inside this workbook

  • Search like a parent — the queries that drive every call (Relevance, Distance, Prominence)
  • Google Business Profile — the single biggest lever (with a bonus on in-home / SAB setup)
  • NAP & Citations — structured vs unstructured, what the directories actually do for you
  • Location & Service Pages — one per town, one per service, what makes them rank
  • Reviews — the BACB ethics line, the ‘local justifications’ effect, and a compliant ask system
  • Tiered checklists (Foundation / Strong / Excellent) for every principle
  • Honest framing on what comes next — and what advanced local SEO actually looks like

Who this is for

ABA practice owners, BCBAs going independent, and operators building referral pipelines from scratch. The content is tactical — scripts, cadences, tracking systems — not theory. Strategy by a BCBA, backed by A-Train Marketing’s 25+ years in healthcare marketing.

Each workbook is a fill-it-in working document, not a read-and-forget ebook. Pages alternate between teaching, exercises, and checklists so the system lives in your practice by the time you close it.

Want a deeper look at your strategy?

This workbook gives you the system. An ABA strategy meeting is where we apply it to your specific market, competition, and stage — and talk through where the organic growth actually lives for your practice. No pitch. Just a focused conversation.
