Built for therapy practices

Therapy practices have their own rules online

Most people start looking for a therapist on Google. They type what they feel (“help with panic attacks”), what they want (“couples counseling”), and where they are. The practices that answer those searches clearly, in plain words, get the first call.

Your time belongs to your clients. So we keep the plan simple, explain each step in plain language, and do the work for you.

What to expect

People search by how they feel

We write pages for the concerns you treat, in the words your future clients use.

The map comes first

For “therapist near me” searches, Google shows a map and a few practices before any website. A complete Google Business Profile gives you a strong chance to be one of them.

Your ethics come first

Many professional codes limit asking clients for testimonials, so we build trust through your credentials, your approach and helpful content.

How people find you

From a search to a call

Someone searches, finds your site, then calls or fills out a form. We track each step, so we learn what works.

Solo, group and telehealth

For solo, group and telehealth practices

Every practice is set up a little differently, so the plan fits the way you see clients.

  • Solo practices: a focused site and profile that bring a steady flow of the right clients
  • Group practices: a page for each clinician and specialty, so every therapist on your team can be found
  • Telehealth-only practices: your website, your listings and AI answers reach clients across your state
  • Your website and accounts always stay yours

Specialty pages that bring the right clients

A single “services” page asks Google to guess what you do. A page for each concern you treat, such as anxiety, trauma, depression or couples work, tells it plainly. Each page explains who it’s for, how you work and what a first session looks like, in the words your future clients use. That helps the right people find you and feel ready to reach out.

Local SEO for therapists

When someone searches “therapist near me”, Google shows a map first. Local SEO gives your practice its best chance to be there: a complete Google Business Profile for each office, the right categories, and matching details on Psychology Today, insurance panels and the other places people look you up. Practices that only see clients online reach them through their website, their listings and AI answers instead.

A website that works as hard as you do

Most people find a therapist on a phone. Your site should load fast, read easily and offer one clear way to book. We build websites built to be found, with pages Google understands from day one and a voice that sounds like you.

Therapist SEO FAQs

What therapists ask us most

Straight answers about timelines, reviews, telehealth and what to expect.

How long does SEO take for a therapy practice?

Most practices see early movement in a few months, and steady growth over six to twelve months. Your city, your specialties and how many practices you compete with shape the timeline. We set a baseline first, so you can see the progress.

Do I still need Psychology Today if I do SEO?

Many therapists keep it. Psychology Today is one of the places people look for a therapist, and a complete profile there also helps Google trust your details. SEO adds your own website and your Google Business Profile, which you fully own.

Can I get Google reviews as a therapist?

Many professional ethics codes limit asking current clients for testimonials, so we build your plan around your credentials, your specialty pages and a complete profile. Check your own licensing board’s rules for your state.

Can a telehealth-only practice show up on the map?

Google Business Profiles are for places clients visit in person. A telehealth-only practice reaches clients through its website, its listings and AI answers instead, and we build all three.

Who owns my website and accounts?

You do, all of it: your website, your Google Business Profile and your analytics. We set everything up in your name.

How much does SEO for therapists cost?

We look at what you need and what’s easiest for you to pay: a project, monthly work at a set price, or hourly. You get a clear quote after a strategy call.
