Hi [First Name],
I checked [Practice Name]'s website this morning — your mobile PageSpeed score is [score], which puts you in the bottom [X]% of [practice type] sites in the area. On a phone, your homepage takes [X] seconds to load — longer than most patients will wait before hitting the back button.
I build websites specifically for medical and wellness practices in Norfolk. I'd like to send you a free review covering performance, security, accessibility, and patient trust signals — no obligation.

Hi [First Name],
A quick note — not a pitch.
Google's research on healthcare search behavior shows that 77% of patients use search engines before booking an appointment, and the majority check at least two things before calling: the practice's online reviews and whether the website loads quickly on their phone. A site that takes more than three seconds to load on mobile loses roughly half of those visitors before they see your name.
Happy to share what I found on [Practice Name]'s site if that's useful.
Hi [First Name],
I reviewed a [practice type] site in [city] recently and found that their "Book Appointment" button linked to a broken page on mobile — had been broken for months, no one had noticed. Every patient who tried to book on their phone hit a dead end.
I don't know if something similar exists on [Practice Name]'s site — but I looked, and I'd be happy to share what I found.

Hi [First Name],
This is my last note — timing may simply not be right at the moment, and that's completely understood.
One tool worth bookmarking regardless: pagespeed.web.dev — Google's free test showing exactly how your site performs for patients on mobile. Worth running once a quarter.
If anything changes down the road, I'm easy to find. Best of luck with [Practice Name].

Hi [First Name],
I came across [Practice Name] while looking at [practice type] practices in the Norfolk area. [Specific observation — e.g. "Your approach to functional medicine sounds genuinely different from what most practices offer — but your homepage doesn't explain who you help or how, which means the people looking for exactly what you do may not recognize it when they land on your site."]
I build websites for holistic and integrative health practitioners — specifically to communicate complex, meaningful work to people who are new to it. I'd like to offer a free review of [Practice Name]'s site.
Worth a conversation? [Calendly link].
Hi [First Name],
Not a pitch — just something relevant.
People searching for holistic and integrative health practitioners search differently than people looking for a conventional doctor. They're often doing research — reading about the modality itself, not just looking for a name near their zip code. They spend more time on about pages than any other page on a site. They are deciding whether they trust the person before they ever consider booking.
Which means the about page isn't really an "about" page — it's a trust conversion page. Happy to share what I found on [Practice Name]'s site if any of this resonates.
Hi [First Name],
I recently reviewed a [practice type] practice with a genuinely strong approach and a long list of happy clients. Their website about page had no photo of the practitioner and no personal story — just a list of conditions treated. It felt like a directory listing, not a person. The people searching for exactly what they offered had no way to find the human behind the work.
I don't know if something similar is true for [Practice Name], but it's worth a look. Happy to share what I found.
Hi [First Name],
This is my last note. The timing may simply not be right and I completely understand that.
The work you're doing at [Practice Name] deserves to be found by the people looking for it. One small thing you can do yourself: search your practice name and type on Google Maps and confirm your listing is claimed and current — many practitioners find it's outdated or unclaimed.
Wishing you and your practice well.

Hi [First Name],
I was looking at [Org Name]'s website — the work you're doing around [specific mission element, e.g. "emergency food access for Norfolk families"] matters. I noticed that [observation framed as mission impact — e.g. "your donate button only appears in the footer — someone arriving on their phone has to scroll past three full sections before they can give"].
I build websites for nonprofits and community organizations in Norfolk — focused on making sure the site works as hard as the team does. I'd like to offer a free review covering donor experience, volunteer flow, program visibility, performance, and accessibility.

Hi [First Name],
Not a pitch — something relevant to [Org Name].
Research on online donor behavior shows that before making a first gift, donors check three things more than anything else: whether the organization's programs are described in concrete outcome-oriented language, whether the site loads quickly on their phone, and whether there's a clear statement of how donations are used. Sites missing any of the three see meaningfully lower first-time donor conversion.
Happy to share what I found on [Org Name]'s site if any of that's relevant to what you're working on.
Hi [First Name],
I reviewed a [org type] site recently and found that their volunteer signup form had been sending confirmation emails to an address no one monitored. Volunteers signed up, heard nothing back, and assumed their application was lost. The organization had no idea — they thought volunteer interest had simply dropped off.
I don't know whether something similar exists on [Org Name]'s site, but it's worth checking. Happy to share what I found if useful.
Hi [First Name],
This is my last note. Timing may simply not be right and I completely respect that.
The work [Org Name] is doing in the community matters. One small thing worth doing regardless: run your donate button through Google's mobile-friendly test at search.google.com/test/mobile-friendly — it's free and takes 30 seconds. Donation buttons are the most common mobile failure point on nonprofit sites.
Wishing you and your team well.
