Getting new clients shouldn’t feel like pulling teeth. Yet for many practice owners, attracting the right people to your practice can seem like mission impossible — especially when you’re busy helping the clients you already have.
Here’s the truth: potential clients are searching for you right now. They just can’t find you because your practice is buried on page 6 of Google. But that’s where we come in, but why isn’t your online marketing working for you?
But before you sign up for just any agency, you might want to find one that works specifically with rehab clinics like yourself…
There are a lot of SEO agencies out there – not all of them are committed to helping rehabilitation treatment centers thrive or understand the nuances of your industry. Here’s how we’re different at Private Practice SEO:
One does not “cure” anxiety. We support you on your healing journey. See the difference?
One doesn’t guarantee” results. We help provide the very best care so you can have every resource on your walk to recovery.
When we write website content, we are aware that potential clients are often scared, overwhelmed, or vulnerable. We make sure blogs and pages focus on making connections and not just getting clicks.
We know why treatment centers don’t want pop-ups, chat bots, or aggressive tracking tools. We keep things warm, light, and respectful.
Although getting reviews is what Google rewards, we find solutions around it so you don’t have to force awkward interaction wit your patients or risk your practice getting a HIPPA violation.
We have a track-record of ranking clinical keywords on Google from past client experiences.
Big uptick in January? And June too? We know that and plan content calendars accordingly.
Most rehab center owners don’t want to learn algorithms or write weekly blog posts. We break it down into simple, stress-free steps and handle all the heavy-lifting.
Helping you find your ideal clients through Google isn’t just something we do for pay, helping others on their road to recovery is deeply ingrained in our mission.

Quality SEO Content is one of Google top 3 rankings factors, which means that you’d better be writing content that not only your ideal client loves, but Google.

One thing Google pays attention to: If your visitors leave without spending much time on your website. In SEO, we call that “bounce”. That’s not good and Google will actually derank you if that happens too often. A recent study by Hostinger came out that poor design and content drives 28% of visitors away.
Web design and SEO are very similar disicplines. Not only will we improve the design of your website by adding high quality pages to it, but we’ll help speed up your site by optimizing big file sizes. Why does this matter? Well, slow image loading causes 39% of users to lose interest and move on. Again, you don’t want people “bouncing” from your website for SEO to work its magic.
A lot of therapists don’t understand keywords. Keywords are basically data on what people are searching in search engines like Google. If a keyword is searched often then we know there is demand for that service. Too much demand and the keyword can become too competitive. It’s essential then to trust an SEO to find the very best keywords given your business goals.
For service pages, we target keywords with commercial intent. For blog posts we target keywords with informational intent. We pick keywords that aren’t too difficult to rank for given your website’s authority but still have good search volume. It’s an iterative process that is the foundation of all successful SEO campaigns. We really don’t recommend doing this on your own unless you really know what you’re doing.
94.74% of keywords have monthly search volumes of 10 or less.

There’s exponentially less clicks after position 1 on Google. Moving from position 2 to position 1 would give you 75% more clicks. The truth is SEO is a winner takes all game so if you’re not getting clicks it could mean that you’re on the cusp of victory.
There’s different approaches given your competition, but a general rule of thumb is this:
It’s always essential to track your keyword rankings using software like Ahrefs or SEMrush.
Moving up from position 2 to position 1 generates 74.5% more clicks.

Christian Almy2024-07-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Zack was incredibly helpful throughout the process of creating and designing my website. I operate in the areas of coaching and counseling, so I had almost no knowledge on how to craft my website. I met with Zack and he clarified the things I wanted to accomplish, what my style was, how my brand would affect the look and feel of the website, and what my website's primary function would be. He took the time to go over each of these areas with me and helped me craft my website in such a way that conveyed my brand well. Zack was also knowledgeable about any questions I had and was always quick to follow up on anything that we were working on. Design was something I struggled with and had next to no knowledge about. Zack was especially helpful in this regard and was able to provide excellent feedback to any design or layout decisions that went into the crafting of my website. The different ways he contributed to the look and flow of my website made it much more effective and easy to navigate. Overall, my experience in working with Zack was easy and fulfilling.

He is super easy to work with. He communicated really well with me about what I wanted on the website and was also able to give his own input. I highly recommend working with Zach.
