Where patients leak

Common gaps in Lexington mental health marketing

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Privacy comes first

    Prospects worry about who sees their information. Forms, ad tracking and follow-up messages have to be set up so health details are not collected where they should not be.
