What is mental health SEO?

It is how someone who is ready to ask for help finds your practice: on the map, in the regular results on the first page of Google and in AI answers. We put a first page guarantee on that work once an assessment shows your practice qualifies, and we write every page with the care this field asks for. See in Step 1 whether you qualify.

Where clients look

Three places a client looks before reaching out

Someone searching for a therapist checks more than one place, and your practice needs to be clear in each. Here is the work we do in all three; answer Step 1 and we will show you how your practice appears in them now.

  1. The map, for clients who want someone close

    Many clients want an office they can reach after work or school. We complete your Business Profile with your hours, the concerns you work with and whether you see clients online, so your practice can be one of those shown.

  2. Page one, concern by concern

    People search for help with a specific concern: anxiety, a marriage in trouble, a teenager who is struggling. We write a page for each kind of help you offer, in calm, plain words, so the person searching sees that you understand.

  3. AI answers that suggest a therapist

    Some people now ask an AI assistant to help them find a therapist. It suggests the practices it can read clearly, so we describe your approach, the concerns you treat and your locations the same way everywhere you are listed.

We build a list of every variation your customers could type to find a business like yours, and we go after all of them.

The national picture

What the numbers mean for a counseling or therapy practice

Three national figures about offices of counselors, therapists and psychologists, and what each one means for you.

  1. 7,994†

    residents for every office of counselors, therapists and psychologists

    What it means for you

    People who need help are spread across a great many households, and each of them chooses from the handful of practices they find first.

    What we do

    We make your practice one of that handful, for the concerns you treat and the area you serve.

    Tell us your focus in Step 1.

  2. $557,744†

    average revenue of one office over 2022

    What it means for you

    A client who books with you often stays for many sessions, so each one you miss is months of work, not a single visit.

    What we do

    We aim your pages at the clients you are best placed to help, so the ones who book are the ones who stay.

    Start Step 1 and name the work you want more of.

  3. 5,558

    counseling and therapy businesses across California

    What it means for you

    A client rarely drives across a state for weekly sessions, so your real competition is the practices near you, plus the ones seeing clients online in your state.

    What we do

    We give each town your clients come from a page of its own and, if you see clients online, cover the whole state you are licensed in as well.

    Tell us where you practice in Step 1.

How clients choose

How people choose a therapist, and where they stop

Your next client may search late at night, after weeks of putting it off. They look for someone who works with their concern, who takes their insurance or explains the fee, and who has an opening soon.

Small things end the search: no mention of the concern they came with, a contact form that asks for too much, silence on fees and insurance, hours on your profile that disagree with your site. We fix those first, then build the pages that are missing.

Many are looking on behalf of someone else, a child, a partner or a parent, so we write pages that help them take the first step for another person. Tell us in Step 1 who you most want to help.

The channels

Marketing for therapists, channel by channel

Four pieces decide whether someone who needs help finds your practice and reaches out, and we plan them together.

  1. Local SEO for your office and your online sessions

    Clients choose between an office they can reach and a session from home. We give each office its own page and listing, keep your details identical wherever you are listed, and explain your online sessions to clients across the state you are licensed in. Answer Step 1 and we will show you where your listings disagree.

  2. Profiles people trust

    Your Business Profile and your directory listings are often read before your website. We fill in the concerns you work with, your approach, the insurance you take and how fees work, with real photos of your office, so a first-time client knows what to expect.

  3. A page for each kind of help

    Anxiety, depression, couples work, trauma and therapy for children are each searched on their own. We write one page per concern or service you want to grow, explaining your approach and what a first session looks like.

  4. A website that makes the first step easy

    Reaching out is the hardest part. We keep the contact form short, make it clear how soon you reply, say plainly how insurance and fees work, and measure which pages lead to first appointments. We handle the site design and conversion work as part of our Full Suite.

Your practice type

Mental health SEO by the help you offer

People search for the help they need, so your pages should follow the concerns and services your clients bring. Answer Step 1 and tell us which ones matter most to your practice.

  • Anxiety and depression therapy SEO

    People looking for help with anxiety or low mood often read quietly for weeks. We write pages that describe how you work with these concerns, what a first session involves and how to reach you, in words that feel safe to read.

  • Couples and marriage counseling SEO

    Couples often search together, or one partner searches first and shares the page. We build a page that explains how you work with couples, whether you see them online, and what happens when only one partner is ready to start.

  • Child and teen therapy SEO

    Parents searching for a child's therapist want to know you understand young people and how you involve the family. We write for the parent reading at night, and keep your services for younger children and for teens on pages of their own.

  • Trauma and PTSD therapy SEO

    People looking for trauma care often search for a named approach and someone trained in it. We describe each method you use, only as far as your training allows, and keep the tone calm so the page never becomes the hard part.

  • Addiction counseling SEO

    Families and individuals looking for help with alcohol or drug use often search at a moment of crisis. We write clear pages about the counseling you offer, who it suits and how soon someone can be seen, without promising a recovery.

  • Psychological testing SEO

    Parents, schools and adults look for testing for attention, learning and other concerns, and they want to know what the process involves. We give each assessment you offer a page that explains the steps, the time it takes and who performs it.

  • Online therapy SEO

    Many clients prefer sessions from home. We build pages for your online services that explain how sessions work, which states your clinicians are licensed in and how to get started, so people across your state can find you.

  • Family therapy SEO

    When a family is struggling, one member usually starts the search. We write pages that explain how you work with the whole family, what sessions look like and how the first appointment is set up.

  • Grief counseling SEO

    People searching after a loss want gentle, practical information. We write pages that describe how you support grieving clients, whether you run groups, and how to take the first step, without any pressure.

  • Group therapy SEO

    Groups draw people who want support alongside others facing the same thing. We give each group you run a page with its focus, how often it meets and how to join, so the right people can find the group.

Ethics and privacy

Marketing a therapy practice inside the rules

Your license comes first, and so does your clients' privacy. Federal rules forbid reviews that are fake, bought or written for someone, and any story of a result shown on your pages is read as typical unless the page says what clients generally experience. So we build your pages around your approach and your training rather than client stories, and keep every page free of details that could identify a client.

Licensing boards for counselors, psychologists and social workers set advertising rules of their own, including how you may describe your training, and we write inside the rules of your state. Send us Step 1, and we will go through the wording on your current pages with those rules in mind.

Your price

What sets the price of therapist SEO

Your price depends on how many concerns and services you want to grow, how many offices you run and whether you see clients online across a state. A solo therapist in one town needs a smaller plan than a group practice with several offices, so we size the work with you in our reply. Answer Step 1 to start.

Every state

Mental health SEO in all 50 states

You compete for the clients who can reach your office, or your online sessions, in your own state. Here is every state by region, with its number of counseling and therapy businesses in 2022, each run by counselors, therapists or psychologists and counted once however many offices it has; tell us your state in Step 1 and we will show you who you are up against there.

Northeast

New York has 2,431 such businesses and Pennsylvania 1,129. Someone looking for a therapist there faces a long list and chooses by fit: the concern you treat, the hours you keep, whether you take their insurance. We make those answers easy to find on your pages.

  • Connecticut 408 businesses
  • Maine 201 businesses
  • Massachusetts 701 businesses
  • New Hampshire 108 businesses
  • New Jersey 909 businesses
  • New York 2,431 businesses
  • Pennsylvania 1,129 businesses
  • Rhode Island 169 businesses
  • Vermont 101 businesses

Midwest: East North Central

Illinois has 2,202 such businesses, Michigan 1,034 and Indiana 651. Clients here often search by neighborhood and by concern at once, such as couples counseling close to home, so we write your pages to match both.

  • Illinois 2,202 businesses
  • Indiana 651 businesses
  • Michigan 1,034 businesses
  • Ohio 753 businesses
  • Wisconsin 447 businesses

Midwest: West North Central

Minnesota has 852 such businesses and Missouri 511. In South Dakota, with 104, many clients live far from the nearest office, which makes sessions by video part of how they choose.

  • Iowa 374 businesses
  • Kansas 349 businesses
  • Minnesota 852 businesses
  • Missouri 511 businesses
  • Nebraska 420 businesses
  • North Dakota 112 businesses
  • South Dakota 104 businesses

South: South Atlantic

Florida has 3,304 such businesses and Georgia 1,285, and in both a client can often choose between an office nearby and a session by video. Your pages have to answer the questions that decide that choice: whether you see clients online, which insurance you take and how soon you have an opening.

  • Delaware 119 businesses
  • Florida 3,304 businesses
  • Georgia 1,285 businesses
  • Maryland 802 businesses
  • North Carolina 1,132 businesses
  • South Carolina 314 businesses
  • Virginia 1,172 businesses
  • West Virginia 110 businesses

South: East South Central

Tennessee has 318 such businesses and Alabama 270, and outside their larger cities a person looking for help may find only a few names. Being one of those names, with a clear page for each concern you treat, is where we start for a practice there.

  • Alabama 270 businesses
  • Kentucky 380 businesses
  • Mississippi 167 businesses
  • Tennessee 318 businesses

South: West South Central

Texas has 2,435 such businesses, Louisiana 431 and Oklahoma 394. Distances are long here, so we build pages for the towns you see clients from and make your online sessions clear to clients anywhere in your state.

  • Arkansas 343 businesses
  • Louisiana 431 businesses
  • Oklahoma 394 businesses
  • Texas 2,435 businesses

West: Mountain

Colorado has 1,559 such businesses, Arizona 862 and Utah 762. A client in a mountain town may have no office within an easy drive, so online sessions often decide who they book.

  • Arizona 862 businesses
  • Colorado 1,559 businesses
  • Idaho 279 businesses
  • Montana 345 businesses
  • Nevada 415 businesses
  • New Mexico 233 businesses
  • Utah 762 businesses
  • Wyoming 118 businesses

West: Pacific

Washington has 1,240 such businesses and Oregon 848. In Alaska, with 107, and Hawaii, with 189, many clients rely on sessions by video, so we make your practice easy to find for both the office visit and the online session.

  • Alaska 107 businesses
  • California 5,558 businesses
  • Hawaii 189 businesses
  • Oregon 848 businesses
  • Washington 1,240 businesses

Therapists ask

Questions therapists ask about mental health SEO and marketing

Still deciding?

Tell us the kind of help you offer in Step 1, and we will say where your pages should start.

Start here

Which services come with mental health marketing, and what does the first page guarantee cover?

It covers every step from a search to a first appointment: your profiles, a page for each concern you treat, your website and how easy it is to reach you. The first page guarantee concerns rankings, never a promise of new clients; everything else we do is about turning a search into a first session.

Can you market my practice without client testimonials?

Yes, and for most therapists that is the better way. Your pages can build trust through your approach, your training, clear information on fees and insurance, and a calm first contact, with no client stories needed.

Do you help with online therapy across a whole state?

Yes. If you or your clinicians see clients online, we build pages for the state you are licensed in and explain how online sessions work, so clients far from your office can find you too.

Will my pages mention insurance and fees?

They should, because cost is one of the first questions people have. We write what you tell us about the plans you accept and how fees work, and nothing you have not confirmed.

Can you help a practice in any state?

Yes. Tell us where you practice in Step 1; we read your licensing board's advertising rules and check who already ranks for the help you offer there before we propose anything.
