Why Therapists Need SEO

In the digital age, having a strong online presence is no longer optional for therapists and counsellors; it's essential. The majority of people seeking therapy services start their journey online, making it crucial for your website to not only appear in search results but to rank prominently.

SEO, or Search Engine Optimization, ensures your site is visible to potential clients in your area, helping you stand out in a crowded market. On-site optimization enhances your website's usability and relevance, blog content strategy establishes your authority in the mental health field, and local SEO ensures you're easily found by those in your community seeking your services.

With the right SEO strategy, you can increase your client base, provide valuable resources to visitors, and build a strong, trustworthy brand that resonates with the individuals you aim to help.

  • Before we begin implementing SEO optimizations on your site, running an ads campaign, or writing your blogs, we always begin with a foundational assessment. This allows us to build the most effective strategy, and ensure we identify every opportunity.

    Here’s what we cover in our first month together:

    • Technical Audit and Site Assessment: We conduct an in-depth assessment of your current optimization efforts. Think of it as a comprehensive health check for your website to identify missed opportunities and quick wins to kickstart your SEO campaign.

    • Competitor Analysis: Our next step involves a thorough analysis of your competitors. We examine their websites, keyword strategies, and overall SEO tactics to gain insights into their strengths and weaknesses.

    • Analytics Setup, Including Conversion Tracking: Properly configuring analytics tools is critical for ongoing success. We ensure that everything is set up correctly to track your website's performance and crucial conversions.

    • Keyword Research and Strategy Development: With a deep understanding of your industry landscape, we delve into meticulous keyword research. We identify relevant terms and keyword variations that are ripe for exploration, particularly those that offer reasonable ranking opportunities.

    • Crafting Your SEO Roadmap: Armed with our research and insights, we craft a customized 6-month SEO roadmap tailored specifically to your business. This roadmap serves as our guide to enhancing your online presence and achieving your SEO objectives.

    From here, we determine the level of ongoing support that is needed to align with your goals and budget.

  • Our ongoing support packages are set up as retainers with set hours based on your goals and budget. This allows us to not only achieve all of the tasks set out in our strategy, but also leave flexibility to support you when the unexpected happens - whether it’s a new opportunity, seasonal promotion, or keyword opportunity.

    All of our packages include monthly reporting, technical monitoring, performance assessment, algorithm change adaptation, and rank tracking.
