Fit
When we are, and are not, the right partner
A good fit

Where patients leak
What goes wrong for mental health practices in Columbus, OH
Ad platform restrictions
Major ad platforms restrict health-related targeting and personalization. Campaigns have to describe your services and location, not speak to a person's diagnosis or personal situation.
A full or uneven caseload
Many therapists have waitlists in some hours and openings in others. Marketing needs to match the openings you actually have, such as evenings or telehealth.

FAQ
Mental Health marketing in Columbus: questions
Do you have an office in Columbus?
No. We work with mental health practices remotely, so there is no Columbus office to visit. Strategy calls run by video or phone and the work happens in your Business Profile, ad accounts, website and calendar.
Do you work with practices in Ohio?
We work with practices across the United States. We do not yet list an Ohio practice on our client wall, so we would build your Columbus program from our method rather than from a local example.
Will I get a guaranteed ranking or patient count?
No one honestly can. We commit to the work, the tracking and clear monthly reporting, and we show what Columbus calls and bookings result.
How do I find out if you can help my Columbus practice?
Schedule a free call. We look at how patients find you now and tell you what we would change and what it would cost.
Can the AI front desk talk to clients about their concerns?
No. It handles logistics such as hours, fees, insurance questions and scheduling, and passes anything else to you. You set its scripts and its limits.
