Where patients leak
Where mental health practices in St. Louis lose new patients
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.
