GOOGLE ADS FOR MENTAL HEALTH
Google Ads for Mental Health Professionals
Be the first provider they find. Reach people actively searching for help right now.
Targeted Google Ads campaigns managed by a team that understands your field, your ethics, and what it takes to turn a click into a booked appointment.
SEO takes months. You have openings now.
Organic search is a long game and it is absolutely worth playing. But if you have availability in your practice right now and you need inquiries this month, waiting six months for SEO to kick in is not a strategy. It is a gap.
​
Google Ads puts you at the top of the search results the same week your campaign goes live. The people clicking your ad are not browsing — they have already decided they want a therapist. They typed it in. They are looking for someone to call.
​
The difference between a Google Ads campaign that wastes your budget and one that fills your practice is targeting, copy, and someone who actually understands your field managing it.
You have openings in your schedule and you need to fill them faster than organic search will get you there. Every week those slots sit empty is revenue you are not getting back.
You tried Google Ads yourself or worked with a generic agency and burned through your budget with nothing to show for it. You do not want to repeat that.
​
You are in a competitive market where other practices are running ads and showing up above you in every search result. You are losing potential clients before they ever see your name.
Google Ads built for mental health practices. Not adapted from a generic template.
Most marketing agencies run Google Ads for every kind of business: dentists, plumbers, real estate agents. They apply the same approach to a therapy practice and wonder why the results are disappointing.
​
We work exclusively with mental health and wellness professionals. We know how someone in crisis searches. We know the difference between a client who is ready to book and one who is still researching. We know the LegitScript requirements that trip up medication-assisted practices. We write ad copy that speaks to someone who is quietly struggling, and does it ethically and compliantly.
​
Jaclyn manages every Google Ads campaign personally. You are not handed off to a junior account manager.
Two Service Options
New Campaign Setup and Management​
​
We build your campaign from the ground up and then run it for you. Keyword research, audience targeting, ad copy, campaign structure, weekly optimization, and bi-weekly reporting- all handled. You get a kickoff call before anything is built so Jaclyn fully understands your practice, your ideal client, and your goals. From there you focus on your clients and we focus on bringing you more of them. LegitScript assistance and landing page creation are available as add-ons if your practice needs them.
Google Ads Audit​
​
Already running ads and not sure if they are working? We do a thorough review of your existing campaign and give you clear, specific recommendations on what is working, what is not, and exactly what to change. A good starting point if you want to get more from the budget you are already spending before committing to full management.
Step by Step process
01
Kickoff strategy call
Before anything is built, Jaclyn gets on a call with you to understand your practice, your ideal client, your geographic target, your budget, and your goals. Ads built without this context are guesswork. We do not guess.
02
Ad copy written for your audience
Writing for someone who is quietly struggling and considering therapy for the first time requires a different touch than writing for someone buying software. We know the difference and we write accordingly: compliantly, ethically, and in a way that makes the right person want to click.
03
LegitScript assistance
If your practice involves medication management or any services that require LegitScript certification to advertise on Google, we handle the certification process with you. This is a requirement most generic agencies do not even know about. We do.
04
Bi-weekly transparent reporting
Every two weeks you receive a clear report in plain language: what your budget was spent on, how many clicks and inquiries came in, what the cost per conversion was, and what we are doing next. No dashboards full of numbers that do not mean anything.
Are Google Ads the right move for you?
Questions providers ask us about Google Ads.
If you have never run ads before, or you have run them and lost money, these answers are for you.
How much do I need to spend on ads?
Ad spend varies by market and competition. For most private practice owners, a starting budget of $300 to $1,500 per month is a reasonable range to test and optimize from. We'll recommend a starting point based on your location and goals during the discovery process.
Is Google Ads worth it for therapists?
For providers who are not yet full and want inquiries now, Google Ads is one of the fastest ways to generate them. Unlike SEO, which takes months, ads can drive traffic within days of launch. The key is smart targeting and strong landing pages, which is where we come in.
What's the difference between Google Ads and SEO?
Google Ads puts you at the top of search results immediately, and you pay per click. SEO earns organic rankings over time at no per-click cost. Many practices use both - ads for immediate intake, SEO for long-term cost reduction
How long before I see results from ads?
Most campaigns start generating clicks and inquiries within the first week of going live. It typically takes 30 to 60 days to gather enough data to optimize the campaign for lower cost-per-click and better conversion rates.
Can Google Ads help me fill a new group practice or hire associates?
Yes. We can build campaigns specifically targeted to client acquisition for a group practice, or even campaigns aimed at associate therapist recruitment if that's a need. We'll scope the right campaign type based on your goals.
Your ideal clients are searching right now. Let's make sure your name comes up first.
One call is all it takes to find out if this is right for you.
