HOW CLIENTS FIND YOU NOW
One search, three places to win.
People looking for a therapist often search privately, late in the day and on a phone, for a specific concern and someone they can afford. They check the map, therapist directories, a few practice websites and, more and more, an AI answer, then reach out to the one that feels right.

Google Maps and your profile
For "therapist near me", the map carries most clicks. The right categories, a clear list of specialties, telehealth noted and an up-to-date profile all count.
What we do: We set up the profile carefully, with specialties and telehealth, and without asking current clients for reviews.
Directories and your website
Many clients find you on a therapist directory, then search your name to check your site. The site has to confirm the fit: who you help, your approach, fees or insurance and how to book a consult.
What we do: We build specialty pages and keep your details consistent between the site and every directory listing.
AI answers
People ask ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews what kind of therapy helps with anxiety or how to choose a couples counselor, and the answers sometimes name practices. Sites that explain approaches plainly are easier for them to cite.
What we do: We write calm, answer-first pages about the concerns you treat and how you work.
Then they call the practice that showed up clearest.
WHAT WE DO
Rank, get named, get the call.
Three parts: SEO so the practice ranks for the concerns you treat, AI search so assistants mention you, and a site that makes the first contact feel safe.

THE FIRST 90 DAYS
What happens, and when.
The first three months build the base. It is the order of work, not a promise of rankings or new clients.
- 1Month 1
Audit and focus
We review the site, profile and directory listings, check how inquiries are tracked, and agree which specialties and areas matter most.
- 2Month 2
Pages and profile
Fixes ship, specialty pages go live after you approve them, and directory listings are brought in line.
- 3Month 3
Early movement
Google picks up the new pages and nearby searches begin to shift. Your first report covers inquiries, rankings and what AI tools say.
Growth then compounds as the pages earn trust. Six months is a fair point to judge it.
BY SPECIALTY
Planned for how you work.
Someone looking for couples counseling searches differently from a parent looking for help for a teen, so we plan pages concern by concern.
- Solo private practicesOne clinician, a clear niche and a calendar to fill.
- Group practicesSeveral clinicians with different specialties and one front door for intake.
- Couples and family therapyTwo people deciding together, often comparing approaches.
- Child and teen counselingParents searching on behalf of a child and checking credentials closely.
- Trauma and EMDRSpecific searches from people who already know the method they want.
- Telehealth practicesClients across a whole state, limited to where you hold a license.
Written within privacy and professional ethics rules
Therapy marketing calls for extra care. Under HIPAA, a therapist cannot confirm that someone is a client, in a review reply or anywhere else, without their written authorization, and contact forms and tracking tools must not leak what people disclose. Professional codes such as those of the APA, ACA and NASW restrict soliciting testimonials, especially from current clients, and the FTC requires reviews to be genuine and claims about outcomes to be truthful and supported. State licensing boards set their own advertising rules and limit telehealth to states where you are licensed. We write to those principles, and you approve every page before it goes live.
Cost depends on how many specialties, clinicians and locations or states you want to reach. Our SEO plans are on the pricing page, and we tell you on the first call which one fits a solo or group practice.
QUESTIONS
Therapist SEO, answered.
01How long does SEO for therapists take?
Profile and technical fixes often show movement within two to three months, and steadier growth in inquiries usually takes six to twelve. A common specialty in a large city takes longer than a focused niche in a smaller one.
02Can therapists ask clients for Google reviews?
Most professional codes discourage or restrict asking current clients for testimonials, because of the pressure it can create. Many practices do not ask at all and build trust through clear pages, credentials and directory profiles instead. If reviews do come in, a reply must never confirm that the person is a client.
03Do we still need SEO if we are listed on therapist directories?
Directories help, but you share the page with dozens of other clinicians and the directory owns the listing. Your own site and Google profile are where you control the message, and many clients check them before reaching out.
04Can you also help with our website?
Yes. Many therapist sites need clearer specialty pages and an easier way to book a consult. We can improve your current site as part of the SEO work or redesign it, and you see and approve any new design before it goes live.
05We practice in Canada, the UK or Australia. Does this work there?
Yes, with different words. Clients there search for counselling and a counsellor as often as therapy, so pages use the local spelling and terms. Our counselling case study is a practice in Calgary. Professional bodies and privacy laws differ by country, and we write to yours.
06What does SEO for a therapy practice cost?
It depends on the number of clinicians, specialties and areas you want to reach. Our SEO plans are on the pricing page.
07Can you guarantee a full caseload?
No. Nobody honest can promise rankings or clients. What we commit to is the work: a site that explains your care clearly, accurate listings and monthly reports you can read in a few minutes.
