Get found beyond the therapy directories
Directories like Psychology Today own the generic searches — so your own practice is invisible without SEO and GEO. We get you ranking and AI-cited for the condition, approach and insurance searches that bring ready-to-book clients.
Built for how your patients actually find care
Prospective clients increasingly ask ChatGPT and Perplexity for recommendations and read AI Overviews before clicking — and they search in natural language bundling condition + modality + insurance + availability. Ethics rules barring solicited reviews mean your authority has to come from deep specialty content, not testimonials.

Owning what the directories rent you
A directory listing is rented visibility — it can vanish with an algorithm change and competes you against every therapist on the same page (Psychology Today is the top result for therapy-seekers ~96% of the time). And because ethics rules bar soliciting client reviews, the usual local-SEO playbook is blunted. We build owned content that ranks for condition + approach + city, structured so AI engines cite it — an asset you control.

Common questions
Psychology Today already sends me clients — why invest in my own SEO and GEO?
A directory listing is rented visibility that can vanish with an algorithm or pricing change, and it competes you against every other therapist on the page. Owned content ranking for condition + approach + city — and cited in AI answers — is an asset you control and increasingly where ready-to-book clients search.
I cannot ask clients for reviews due to ethics rules. How do I build trust and rank?
Authority comes from deep specialty content (treatment explainers, condition guides, clinician credentials) plus a complete Google Business Profile and the right directories — not solicited testimonials. That expertise-rich content is exactly what AI engines pull from, so it compounds across local SEO and GEO.
How do I show up when someone asks AI for a therapist who takes their insurance?
We publish clear, plain-text statements of accepted plans, modalities, specialties and new-client availability, with FAQ schema. That structured expertise is what AI assistants synthesize into a recommendation.
A lot of my work is private-pay / out-of-network. Can SEO reach those clients?
Yes — we target the specialized, higher-intent searches (specific modality + condition) where fit matters more than network, and address cost and out-of-network reimbursement directly. That attracts clients who value your specialty over a directory filter.
Other specialties we work with
Every strategy is tailored to how patients search for your specific type of care.
