Kansas City is one market on a map and many markets on a phone. We build location pages and your Google Business Profile around the areas you want to reach.

How it works

Booked, Understood, Tracked: the first steps in Kansas City

Patients move from search to appointment in six steps. Here are the ones we would start with in Kansas City.

  • Booked

    A first session is placed on your calendar with a confirmation, intake instructions and a reminder.

  • Understood

    Plain pages about who you work with, your approach, session formats, fees and insurance, written in your voice and reviewed by you.

  • Tracked

    We track which search, listing or page prompted each inquiry, without placing health details in ad platforms.

The whole method is on the mental health marketing page.

Where patients leak

Where mental health practices in Kansas City lose new patients

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

Fit

When we are, and are not, the right partner

A good fit

  • You are comfortable reviewing every page for tone and accuracy
  • You can reply to inquiries promptly, or want logistics handled for you

Probably not a fit

  • You expect promised client counts or a promised ranking
  • You want testimonials or reviews gathered without consent
