FAQs About SEO for Counseling & Therapy

The time it takes to see results from SEO varies based on several factors. Generally, consistent improvements in rankings and traffic may take at least 3 to 6 months. For highly competitive markets, it might take 6 to 12 months or more. SEO is a long-term strategy that builds sustainable growth over time, with incremental progress seen along the way. Patience and consistent effort are key to achieving meaningful results.

Our onboarding process is easy and requires no experience or previous knowledge. We’ll guide you every step of the way.

We will ask you a bunch of questions… about your business, goals, competition, branding, etc., to make sure we support you in the best way possible.

Once we’ve learned about your business, market, competitors, website, etc. we’ll develop a strategy to help you appear more prominently on search engines for the services you offer.

We’ll draft industry-relevant content for your website, upgrade your Google Business profile (and social media depending on your plan) with custom posts and graphics, help you get more reviews, leave crumbs across the web for customers to find you, and more. People won’t just see you, they’ll notice you.

Minimal to no time at all once we complete your onboarding.

We want you to have a pain-free, high-quality experience with us so you can focus your effort on your business. And we also want you to look great to your customers.

Of course, you are always welcome to provide requests/inputs, ask questions, and give feedback. You can also be added as part of our review chain before we publish anything on your behalf.

To see the best results, we recommend that you only signup for our managed (monthly) SEO services if you plan to stay committed beyond a few months. You will find from working with us that there is a lot of thought and attention-to-detail about your specific business that we will be incorporating into your SEO strategy for long-term success.

That said, we believe in partnerships, not pressure. Our services renew monthly and you can cancel at any time. We’re also proud to offer a money back guarantee, if you feel we haven’t lived up to your expectations.

We do offer one-time à la carte SEO services – these can be found on our Pricing page.

That’s great! We’re happy to answer them. Please feel free to book a call at a time that works for you and we’ll get you the information that you need.
