Two pills and they can move on with their lives. Are you getting lots of calls with questions about it?
FDA regulations stipulate a woman must see a doctor before having the abortion pill prescribed. This is because the abortion pill must be taken within the first 10 weeks of pregnancy, and many women don’t know exactly how far along they are without a doctor’s appointment and ultrasound. In addition, we know this procedure can also have devastating emotional and physical repercussions for women. They deserve to both be informed and hear these warnings so they know the truth about the pill.

Get ResourceWhat is the Google Knowledge Vault?
For the past several years, Google has been working on building a knowledge vault to store knowledge about … everything. Albert Einstein. How airplanes work. Ingredients for dairy free ice cream. Google’s goal is to create a ‘machine system’ that has the whole of human knowledge stored in one place. This will make Google search results smarter and more accurate to what people are searching for online, helping them find the information they need more efficiently.
As of 2014, the Knowledge Vault had pulled in 1.6 billion facts. Of those, 271 million were rated as “confident facts,” meaning a more than 90 percent chance of being true. It predicts this by cross-referencing new facts with what it already knows.
As you read through this, you may have concerns about privacy or how a company like Google can decide truths within the knowledge they compile. The big takeaway today is that the Google Knowledge Vault can impact your pregnancy center in three primary ways. First, it will impact your Google rankings which determines if women will see your site or not. Second, it will impact a person’s experience while on your site. And finally, it will impact whether or not someone seeking information about your services can trust the information on your site.
At the end of the day, reaching your clients with life-saving support and resources is your number one goal. In this free guide, we will help you understand how Google views information so you can maintain visibility as you keep your website ranked high in Google’s search results.
