For therapists and counselling practices
Therapist SEO, measured across your whole area.
Most people want a therapist they can reach, even when some sessions are online. They search when they are ready to call, read two or three profiles, and contact the one whose approach and availability fit. That first contact often starts months of sessions.
45 checks across 9 zones, in about 60 seconds. No call. Nothing to install.

Does ChatGPT name you when someone asks who to call?
More people now ask an AI assistant before they open the map. We ask it the questions your customers ask, in your town, and show you whether you are named and who is named instead.

Therapist SEO starts with the people who can reach you
People look for a therapist when they are ready to make the call, and most want one within reach even if some sessions are online. They search by what they need, such as anxiety, couples or trauma, and by where they are, then read two or three profiles before choosing.
Each of those searches is its own map. We measure them around your practice, so you can see which neighbourhoods and which kinds of help you show up for, and which go to the practice across town.
What their customers type: “therapist near me”, “counselling”, “couples counselling”, “anxiety therapist”, “trauma therapist”, “online counselling”.
What we set up for a practice
- Primary category matched to what you are (Counselor, Psychotherapist or Family counselor), with true secondaries only and never a title you are not registered to use
- Services listed by the help people search for, with your approach and whether you see clients online or in person
- Insurance and direct billing details stated only as you confirm them
- Pages for the kinds of help and the neighbourhoods where the map shows you missing
- No review requests and no client stories: your college's rules and client confidentiality come first
Counselling colleges restrict testimonials, endorsements and promised outcomes. We write inside those rules, use only titles you are registered to use, and never refer to a client. How our local SEO works.
Pages we'd build for a practice
- Counselling in Abbotsford
- Couples counselling in Abbotsford
- Anxiety counselling in Abbotsford
Written for the zones where you don't appear, not for a keyword list.
Our professional college limits how we can advertise. Does that change the work?
It shapes it. Counselling colleges restrict testimonials and promised outcomes, and client confidentiality comes first. We write every page and profile inside those rules, with no client stories, no claims of results and only the titles you are registered to use. The work that moves the map, your profile, your listings and your pages, needs none of them.
One practice per area
We won't work for two therapists and counselling practices competing for the same streets. If a practice that covers most of your service area is already a client, we'll tell you and suggest a neighbouring town instead. If your areas only touch, we tell you both before any work starts. How we decide
