Where patients leak
Where mental health practices in Austin lose new patients
Ad platform restrictions
Major ad platforms restrict health-related targeting and personalization. Campaigns have to describe your services and location, not speak to a person's diagnosis or personal situation.
A full or uneven caseload
Many therapists have waitlists in some hours and openings in others. Marketing needs to match the openings you actually have, such as evenings or telehealth.
Privacy comes first
Prospects worry about who sees their information. Forms, ad tracking and follow-up messages have to be set up so health details are not collected where they should not be.
