Psychotherapy practices · Search engine optimisation

Rank for the concern and the locality someone is searching in private.

SEO for a psychotherapy practice means ranking for concern and locality searches, such as couples counselling in an area, matched by pages written to be recognised, not to persuade.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What search engine optimisation means

Search engine optimisation (SEO) is the work of getting your website to appear when a buyer searches Google for what you sell. GullySales builds pages around real search terms, fixes technical issues that block ranking, and tracks which searches actually bring enquiries.

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.

  • “Concern terms outrank generic searches”

    A person searching for help with a specific issue finds a dedicated page faster than a general services page.

  • “Local search matters, handled discreetly”

    A person often prefers a nearby practice for ease of attending sessions, so local search still matters here.

  • “Content depth builds trust and ranking”

    A careful explanation of a concern serves both the search engine and the anxious reader.

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.

  1. Concern and locality pages built for search

    A page combining a specific concern and your area, matching how someone searches for help nearby.

    Result: A local search for that concern finds your practice's own page.

  2. Technical fixes for site visibility

    Site speed and indexing issues fixed so concern pages are properly crawled and shown in search results.

    Result: Pages that were invisible to search begin appearing for their intended terms.

  3. Depth added to existing concern content

    Shorter existing pages expanded with a careful, accurate explanation of the concern, useful to both the reader and the search engine.

    Result: A page serves an anxious reader well and ranks better for it.

  4. Google Business Profile aligned with website content

    The profile's specialisations kept consistent with what the website states, so both support the same local searches.

    Result: A search and a profile check both point to the same, accurate picture.

  5. Ranking report against the baseline

    A report on which concern and locality pages are ranking, checked against the baseline recorded before the work starts.

    Result: You know which concern page still needs work to be found.

How the result is measured

  • Ranking positions
  • Organic traffic
  • Enquiries from organic search

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Searches your buyers type

What a person types before booking a first session, and the page that answers it.

anxiety counselling near me
A concern page for one subject. Describe what a first session is like, who sees the client, in which languages, and in person or online. Describe the concern in plain words, without promising how it ends.
couples counselling for communication problems
A page for couples work. Say whether you see both partners together, how one partner can ask for a session without the other, and what you do and do not take on, such as a case of abuse.
therapist for my teenager who will not talk
Written for the parent. Explain how you involve the parent, what stays private between you and the teenager, and how consent is taken for a minor. Say which age groups you see.
grief counselling after losing a parent
A page for a person who is not sure therapy is the right step. Describe what the sessions are, that nobody has to speak before they are ready, and how to reach you for a first conversation.
online therapist who speaks Kannada
A language and format page. List each therapist's languages, whether they see clients over video, and what a client needs at home, such as a private room and a steady connection.
how to find a good therapist in India
A page that helps the reader choose. List the qualifications and registration to ask for, state your own, and say what fees are and how cancellations work, so nothing is a surprise.

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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 search engine optimisation work runs

  1. 1

    Audit and baseline

    We record where the site stands today: positions, traffic, technical faults and the enquiries search currently produces. Nothing starts until this number is written down.

  2. 2

    Decide what to rank for

    We map the searches your buyers use, in your words and theirs, and pick the ones worth the effort for your margin and your capacity.

  3. 3

    Fix the foundations

    Technical faults first, because the cheapest gains are usually there. Then the Business Profile and directory consistency.

  4. 4

    Build the pages

    A page for each thing you do, written to answer the question it is searched for, with a clear next step at the end.

  5. 5

    Publish and earn mentions

    Content goes out on the calendar. Links and mentions are earned from real relationships, not bought.

  6. 6

    Measure, report, adjust

    At the interval agreed at the start we report what moved and what did not, and change the plan when the numbers say so.

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

    Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.

#257, 3rd floor, Sri Nanjundeshwara Complex, Nagarbhavi 8th Block, Outer Ring Road. How we work.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

How long does this take?
It depends on how much authority the site already has and how competitive the concern term is. We can give a realistic view for your specific pages once we have read your brief.
Is SEO appropriate for a sensitive field?
Yes, since the goal is being found by someone who needs help, done without exploiting their situation.
Can we put client stories or testimonials on the website?
Generally no. Therapy is confidential, and most professional codes discourage publishing client accounts. Let the concern pages and the therapist profiles carry the trust. Check your own council's code on testimonials before you publish anything that quotes a client.
Should each therapist in the practice have a page of their own?
Yes. People search for a language, a concern or a format, and a profile page is where those match. Show qualification, registration, concerns treated, languages and session formats, and keep each profile current as the person's practice changes.
How do you handle marketing without using client stories?
Through the therapist, not the client. A page that explains your training, your approach and what a first session feels like does the work a testimonial does elsewhere. No identifiable client story is ever used.
Will this involve tracking individual clients?
No. Our reporting works at the level of enquiry volume and concern area, never by name, and we agree what is tracked before starting.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
