Google Ads Management

Google Ads campaigns built specifically for therapists, counselors, and mental health practices. We target the searches your ideal clients actually use, like therapy near me and counseling for anxiety, so your ad budget goes toward people ready to book, not window shoppers.

What's Included in Google Ads Management for Therapists

Everything your practice needs to turn searches into booked consultations.

Keyword research for your specialties

We build campaigns around how clients actually search, like "couples counseling near me", "EMDR therapist [city]" or "psychiatrist accepting new patients". We also exclude searches that waste budget, like "free therapy" or "therapist jobs".

Ad copy that follows healthcare rules

Google restricts how health-related ads can be written and targeted. We write ads that speak to what clients are looking for without implying anything about their health, so ads stay approved.

Landing pages that convert

Each campaign sends people to a page that matches their search, with your specialties, insurance or private-pay details, and a clear way to book.

Privacy-conscious tracking

We track calls, form submissions and booking clicks so you know what each inquiry costs, without sending client health details to Google.

Ongoing optimization

We adjust bids, keywords, locations and ad schedules based on real inquiries, not just clicks.

Clear reporting and strategy calls

Every month you see spend, inquiries and cost per inquiry in plain language. Every new ad is approved by you before it goes live.

Why a specialist

Why Therapy Practices Need a Google Ads Specialist

Google Ads for mental health isn’t like advertising a restaurant or a retail store. Health is a sensitive category, so Google limits how you can target people. Remarketing and audience lists based on health conditions aren’t allowed. Ads that sound like they know something about the reader’s health can be disapproved.

If your practice offers substance use or addiction treatment, Google requires LegitScript certification before those ads can run. We’ll tell you up front if that applies to you.

As a Google Partner agency that works only with therapists, counselors and mental health practices, we already know these rules. Your budget goes toward people ready to book, not toward learning the rules the expensive way.
