Our SEO Process – How We Boost Your Therapy Practice

Our methodical and transparent process is designed to build a powerful and sustainable online presence for your therapy practice whilst respecting professional ethics and client confidentiality.

1. Initial SEO Audit & Analysis

We begin with a comprehensive analysis of your current online presence. This includes a thorough website audit covering technical SEO, on-page factors, and competitor research within the mental health sector. We analyse your positioning against other therapists in your area and specialisation. We also perform a Google Business Profile audit to identify immediate opportunities for improvement.

2. Strategy Development & Planning

Based on our analysis, we develop a bespoke search engine optimisation strategy aligned with your practice goals. This involves in-depth keyword research to target high-value search terms for your therapeutic specialisations, a content plan addressing the client journey from research to booking, and a technical roadmap outlining priority fixes.

3. On-Page Optimisation Implementation

Our team optimises your website with precision. This includes enhancing existing service pages for different therapy types, creating new content to fill gaps in your digital presence, implementing technical improvements to boost site speed and user experience, and building a strategic internal linking structure that guides potential clients towards enquiry.

4. Local SEO & Citations Building

We optimise your Google Business Profile with up-to-date information, professional photography of your practice space, and a strategy for generating authentic client reviews whilst respecting confidentiality. We ensure your NAP (Name, Address, Phone) details are consistent across all relevant UK business directories and professional body listings.

Frequently Asked Questions

In today’s digital landscape, search engine optimisation is essential because individuals seeking therapy support conduct extensive online research before choosing a therapist. When someone searches for “therapist near me” or “anxiety counselling [your area],” effective SEO ensures your practice appears prominently in results. This connects you with clients actively seeking support, allowing you to build a sustainable practice without relying solely on referrals or expensive directory listings.

You can typically expect to see initial improvements in rankings and online visibility within 2-3 months. However, achieving significant, sustained results – such as consistent client enquiries – in the therapy market generally takes 4-6 months. Therapist SEO effectiveness varies by location and specialisation, but consistent effort yields measurable improvements in qualified enquiries from ideal clients.

Local SEO focuses on optimising for location-based searches like “therapist near me” or “counselling in [town],” ensuring you appear in Google Maps and local pack results. Industry SEO targets broader terms related to therapeutic approaches and mental health issues. For therapists, we combine both approaches – optimising for your specialisations whilst ensuring you appear in searches across your service area.

While we can’t guarantee specific rankings (no legitimate SEO company can), we have a proven track record of achieving Page 1 results for 88% of our therapist clients within 6 months. We focus on sustainable, long-term growth rather than quick fixes that violate Google’s guidelines and could harm your professional reputation.

Yes, we’ve worked with numerous therapists across the UK, from psychotherapists to counsellors and specialist practitioners. We understand the unique challenges of therapy SEO, including ethical advertising requirements, professional body guidelines, client confidentiality considerations, and the sensitive nature of mental health search terms that require careful, compassionate positioning.

We can conduct a free audit of your current SEO efforts and provide honest recommendations. Many therapist clients come to us after unsatisfactory results elsewhere. We’ll identify gaps in your existing strategy and opportunities to improve your search engine performance, whether you’re not ranking for key therapy terms or your website isn’t converting visitors into enquiries.

SEO works for all therapeutic modalities, whether you specialise in CBT, psychodynamic therapy, person-centred counselling, EMDR, couples therapy, or integrative approaches. We’ll create a tailored strategy based on your specific qualifications, therapeutic orientation, and the client issues you’re best equipped to support.

We track rankings and organic traffic, but most importantly, we measure business metrics that matter to therapists: enquiry form submissions, phone calls, initial consultation bookings, and client conversion rates. Monthly reports show clear progress against your practice goals, demonstrating how SEO investment translates into a full and sustainable practice.

After your minimum 3-month contract period, you can cancel with 30 days’ notice. However, we’re confident in our results – over 93% of therapist clients continue working with us beyond their initial term due to positive ROI. The cumulative nature of SEO means results compound over time, making ongoing optimisation increasingly valuable for maintaining practice capacity.

Absolutely. Multi-location SEO is one of our specialties, essential for therapists who work from different practice rooms or consulting suites. We create individual landing pages for each location, optimise Google Business Profile listings for all addresses, and ensure consistent professional information across directories. This ensures you appear prominently in local searches across all areas you serve.

Yes, reputation management is crucial for therapists where trust and credibility are paramount. We help generate authentic positive reviews from satisfied clients (whilst respecting confidentiality), respond to feedback professionally, address any negative reviews sensitively, and build a strong online reputation that attracts ideal clients and reflects your professional standards.

No setup fees, no hidden costs. Our pricing is transparent and includes everything needed to improve your search rankings in the mental health sector. The only additional costs might be premium SEO tools or specific content requirements beyond package inclusions, which we’ll discuss with you beforehand and only implement with your approval.

Yes, you can adjust your package at any time to match your practice needs and budget. Many therapist clients start with our Starter package and upgrade to Professional as their practice grows and they see results. Some upgrade to Premium when expanding to group practices or adding specialised services that require more comprehensive content strategies.
