SEO For Therapists & Private Practices

Private Practice Elevation doesn’t offer results guarantees tied to specific keywords or traffic volume. Why? Because SEO is dynamic. It changes constantly based on many factors. Because of that, and no matter what others may tell you, guarantees are just not possible.

We believe that a guarantee when it comes to specific results is actually a red flag. Agencies guaranteeing rankings either lack experience or aren’t being honest.

That said, we can guarantee:

• We’ll communicate clearly, frequently, and honestly with you.
• We’ll deliver a monthly report which reviews current results and outlines the work we’ve done and the next steps we’ll take to grow your traffic.
• We’ll take action. Each month, we’ll complete a series of tasks designed to steadily grow your traffic.
• We’ll set goals, measure our performance against them, and evolve our goals over time as your business evolves.

Unfortunately, we hear often. I understand your concerns. Agencies vary in quality— some are trustworthy, while others offer low-value services cloaked in mysterious jargon. I’m sorry your experience with SEO professionals has been on the low-value side.

Here are a few ways Private Practice Elevation approaches SEO differently than most:

• We place a huge emphasis on communication. We aren’t a back-office SEO shop. We’ll explain everything in simple terms, and we welcome your questions.
• We document our work each month. Each month, we’ll send you a recap of the tasks we completed the previous month alongside an action plan for the upcoming month.
• We offer flexible terms by design. Our goal is to create a collaborative partnership. If you aren’t seeing the results you need, or if your business circumstances change, just drop us an email; we can cancel your services with 30 days’ notice.

To us, the key is being open and honest so that we’re collaborating in a way that serves you and your business.

SEO is a long-term strategy for the organic growth of your private practice. We wish we could see results from SEO overnight, but that’s not the case. Typically, our SEO Basecamp clients see improvements in their rankings within the first few weeks of optimizing their website. However, significant growth and a rise in organic traffic can take anywhere from 6-12 months. Search engines want to see that your website has high-quality content, backlinks, and consistent activity, which can take time to put in place.

We like to compare it to investing in a 401k. Your rate of return when you retire will be impacted greatly by your level of investment and consistency over time.

Most therapist websites fail to improve organic traffic and search engine rankings because they lack the content needed to compete with other websites. That’s why consistently adding articles and creating a foundation of optimized content is key to our SEO strategy.

Blog writing is included as part of our SEO Traffic Accelerator (monthly plans). We do our best to review your website, understand your voice, and create content that aligns with your brand. 

During your SEO Basecamp project, we will create a content calendar for you so you’ll know what pages we recommend writing next. We’ll also create a list of blog post topics to help you get more content on your website.

During your SEO Assessment, we may determine that your service pages lack the amount of content needed to rank in search engines, so we can always add an SEO copywriting package to your SEO Basecamp project to fill in the content gaps to help rank those pages.

Nope. We understand that we may not be a good fit for everyone, so we don’t lock our clients into long-term contracts. However, it’s important to remember that SEO is a long-term strategy and results won’t happen overnight. But if you wish to cancel your ongoing SEO plan, please let us know 30 days in advance to give us the time necessary to cancel any upcoming work.
