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.
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.
