Psychotherapy practices · Google Business Profile
Be found for the concern and the locality, without compromising discretion.
Google Business Profile management for a psychotherapy practice keeps hours, specialisations and location current, mindful that discretion matters more here than in most healthcare categories.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What Google Business Profile means
A Google Business Profile is the free listing that shows your address, hours, photos and reviews when someone searches for your business or a nearby competitor on Google and Maps. GullySales sets it up correctly, keeps it updated and posts to it regularly so it works as a steady source of calls and direction requests.

Sales and marketing for psychotherapy practices, the overview.
Last updated 5 Oct 2026. Rules for this trade differ by state and professional body, and they change. We describe restrictions in general terms, so check the current position with your own council or adviser before you publish anything.
For psychotherapy practices
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Clear specialisations improve the right match”
Stating specific concerns treated, such as couples therapy, helps the right person find the practice faster.
“Discreet details matter in the profile”
Photographs and descriptions are chosen to feel calm and private, not clinical or exposing.
“Reviews are handled with particular care”
Given confidentiality, we do not run standard review-generation campaigns for this category.
What we do
What we deliver for psychotherapy practices.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Specialisation categories set correctly
Profile categories and services set to reflect specific concerns treated, such as couples or child therapy, for an accurate match.
Result: The right person finds the practice for the concern they actually have.
Calm, discreet photo selection
A set of photos for the profile chosen to feel private and calm rather than clinical or exposing.
Result: A visitor sees a setting that matches the discretion they expect.
Hours and specialisation kept current
Working hours and listed specialisations checked and updated whenever they change.
Result: A visitor never finds outdated information about what the practice offers.
Careful approach to the review section
No active review campaign run for this profile, respecting client confidentiality, with only organic reviews left as they occur.
Result: The profile is never used to pressure a client for public feedback.
Profile activity report against the baseline
A report of profile views and calls, checked against the baseline recorded before the work starts, with no client detail involved.
Result: You can see whether the profile is drawing in enquiries for the right concerns.
How the result is measured
- Profile views
- Calls from the listing
- Direction requests
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
What the profile needs
What a therapist's profile needs to be accurate, and where discretion should limit what is shown.
- An address clients actually visit
- If clients come to a consulting room, show it. A practice that works only online has no premises to list, so a profile may not qualify. Check Google's current guidelines.
- Category your qualification supports
- Choose the category that matches your registered qualification, such as counsellor or psychologist. Titles are regulated, so check with your own professional body before using one.
- Concerns named plainly, not diagnoses
- List the concerns you work with, like anxiety, relationship difficulty or exam stress, in ordinary words. Do not promise cures or outcomes, and avoid diagnostic labels about individuals.
- Rooms without anyone in them
- Photograph the waiting area and the consulting room, empty and calm. Do not photograph the door of a building shared with others or anything that could identify a client.
- Hours with the booking route
- State consulting hours and say clearly that sessions are by appointment, with the route to book. A walk-in hint can bring someone in distress to a closed room.
- The page for people in crisis
- If someone in crisis might land on the profile, link to a helpline in the description. Do not present the practice as an emergency service.

Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- You want a guaranteed Google ranking or a guaranteed number of leads. Nobody honest can promise either.
- You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
- You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.
How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
First
Your brief
You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.
After the brief
A conversation and a written scope
We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.
Before work starts
Baseline recorded
Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.
After the baseline
The first fix goes live
The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is reply time, a follow-up sequence, the page buyers land on or the handover between marketing and sales.
As agreed
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.
At renewal
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.
How the google business profile work runs

Understand your locations

- 3
Correct and complete
Every profile is brought up to date, with services, hours and photos filled in properly.

Why us
Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.
Marketing and sales, as one job
Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.
The person on the first call does the work
No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.
A baseline before anything starts
Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.
The fee in writing, split three ways
Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.
No guarantees we cannot keep
The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.
One office, and we say so
