Sound Familiar?

You’re Not in the Google Map Pack

When someone searches “therapist near me,” the top 3 map results get most of the clicks. If you’re not there, you’re invisible to local searchers.

Your Listings Are a Mess

Different phone numbers, old addresses, and inconsistent practice names across directories confuse Google and confuse potential clients.

Clients in Your Area Can’t Find You

You serve a specific geographic area, but your online presence doesn’t reflect it. Clients five miles away are finding your competitors instead.

What We Do Differently

Local SEO Built Exclusively for Mental Health Practices

Local search works differently for therapists. Clients search by specialty, insurance, and concern—not just location. We optimize for the way therapy seekers actually search in your area, so you show up for the queries that matter most.

Google Map Pack Optimization

We optimize your Google Business Profile to rank in the coveted top-3 map results for your most important therapy-related searches.

Citation & Directory Consistency

We audit and correct your practice information across 50+ directories so Google trusts your data and ranks you higher.

Location-Specific Keyword Strategy

We target the exact local searches your ideal clients use—“anxiety therapist in [your city]”, “EMDR near [your neighborhood]”, and more.

Review Strategy Integration

Google reviews are a major local ranking factor. We help you build a consistent stream of genuine reviews that boost your visibility.

Common Questions

Regular SEO focuses on ranking in standard search results. Local SEO focuses specifically on appearing in the Google Map Pack and location-based searches (like “therapist near me” or “counselor in [city]”). For therapy practices that serve a specific area, local SEO is often even more important than traditional SEO.

It helps, but it’s not the only path. If you have an office, we optimize for that location. If you’re telehealth-only or use shared office space, we have strategies to build local visibility using service areas and other signals Google recognizes.

Citation cleanup and GBP optimization can show results within weeks. Map pack rankings typically improve within 2–3 months. Full local dominance—ranking for multiple specialties and locations—usually takes 4–6 months of consistent work.

Yes. We create location-specific pages and optimize your presence for each area you serve. Most practices can rank in 3–5 surrounding areas with the right strategy, even with a single physical location.

We’ll audit your Google Business Profile, check your citation consistency across major directories, analyze your local keyword rankings, and compare you to local competitors. You’ll get a detailed report with specific recommendations—whether you work with us or not.
