The person searching “dietitian Dublin” or “sports nutritionist near me” has usually followed three nutrition accounts on Instagram and is now trying to find someone real to book. They check your qualifications first, because the trade has a wide range of them, then what you work with, what a consultation costs, whether sessions are online, whether they can claim on their health insurance, and whether they can book now rather than DM and wait. Websites for dietitians and nutritionists in Dublin exist to turn that follower into a booked consultation, with your qualifications stated plainly at the top.
We build and run that site, with bookings, payments and the Google listing working, and add to it each month if you want the content side handled too.
January is loud, the rest of the year is the practice
Every nutrition practice knows January. The enquiries pile up, the diary fills, and by March many of those people have gone quiet. The site should be ready for January with packages priced, slots open and an announcement line saying so, but it is built for the other eleven months: September when routines restart, May before the summer, marathon season, and the steady year-round work of people referred by a GP or a physio, parents of fussy eaters, pregnant women, people managing a diagnosis who need practical help with food. The page speaks to those people in plain words, not in resolution language.
Dietitian or nutritionist: say which, and what it means
In Ireland “dietitian” is a protected title held by people registered with CORU, while “nutritionist” is not regulated the same way, and an informed client knows the difference and searches for it. Whichever you are, the page says so in the first screen, with your qualification, where you trained, your registration if you have one, and any professional body you belong to. A nutritionist with a good degree loses nothing by being clear; a dietitian loses a lot by being vague.
Then your areas of work, each with a short, honest description of who it is for and what happens in a consultation: gut and digestive problems, sports performance, pregnancy and fertility, children and families, weight management, diabetes and heart health, coeliac and allergies, eating with a long-term condition. No before and after photos, no promised results, no kilos. A client managing a diagnosis is reading carefully, and so is anyone who regulates health advertising.
Consultations, packages and paying up front
A first consultation is longer than a follow-up, and most practices sell packages: an initial plus two or five follow-ups, sometimes with a meal plan and messaging support between sessions. The site lists each with its price, its length and what it includes, and the client pays by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay when they book, with the money going to your account. Paying for a package up front helps people turn up for session four, and reminders by text the day before handle the rest.
Online consultations by video mean clients from Donegal to Wexford, and the booking page should say so. If you also see people in person, each location gets its own days. The pattern is in how to take online bookings.
Health insurance comes up in every enquiry. The page names the insurers you issue receipts for, says clients should check their own policy, and goes no further, because what any insurer pays back is between them and the client.
From Instagram to a booked consultation
Keep posting. Instagram is where many nutrition clients first meet you, and the site is linked from the bio. But a Reel cannot take a booking, show your registration, or be found when someone googles “FODMAP dietitian Dublin” next March. The site holds the facts, the prices and the Book button, and your recipes and answers become pages that Google and AI assistants can read. We wrote about the two jobs in whether you need a website if you have Instagram. We do the AI search groundwork on every site and promise nothing about where you appear.
With Complete, we also take a question you get asked every week and turn it into a short, plain page each month, so the site grows in the direction your clients are already searching.
What we need to begin
Your qualification and registration, in the exact words you want used. Your areas of work and a line on each. Your consultation types, lengths, packages and prices. The insurers you issue receipts for. Whether you work online, in person or both, and where. A photo of you and of your room if you have one. Your Instagram handle. Twenty minutes on a video call, wherever in Ireland you are, is enough to start.
Plan, price and the first call
Complete is €1,499 to set up and €100 a month and includes the site, the .ie domain in your name, hosting, the Google listing, booking with reminders, package payments, the monthly content work, review growth and business email. Essentials, at €499 and €50 a month, is the site and the listing for a practice full from referrals. The comparison is on the pricing page. The personal trainers page covers the trainers many nutritionists work alongside.
