A marketing agency for life coaches and therapists who want the right clients, not just more traffic

Life coaching is largely unregulated. Therapy is licensed health care. That one fact changes what your website can say, what your forms can collect and how you handle reviews. We build both, and we never blur the line between them on the page.

For coaches, the site can be bolder: programs, packages, testimonials, a speaking reel and a clear call to book. Coaches still shouldn’t imply they diagnose or treat mental health conditions, and we write copy that keeps that boundary visible so a visitor who needs a clinician knows where to go.

For therapists, the site leads with credentials, specialties, modalities, fees or insurance status, and how to request a consultation. We avoid outcome language like ‘cure’ or ‘fix’ entirely. Nobody can promise a clinical result, and copy that sounds like a promise erodes trust with exactly the careful, thoughtful clients you want.

The single most important page on your site is the one where someone decides to talk to you. For a coach, that’s usually a free discovery call. For a therapist, it’s a brief consultation or an appointment request. Either way, the path should be one tap from every page and take less than a minute on a phone.

We set up booking so the visitor picks a time on your real calendar, gets a confirmation, and receives a reminder. For coaches we often add two or three short questions that help you prepare. For therapists we keep the form deliberately thin: name, how to reach them, preferred times, and whether they’re looking for in-person or virtual sessions. Anything clinical waits for your own secure intake process.

Every booking is tracked back to where it came from, so you can see whether your podcast, a directory profile or a Google search sent the people who actually showed up.

Coaches can and should collect testimonials. A specific quote about a real change in someone’s working life or relationships does more than any headline. We build simple, consent-first ways to gather them and display them on the pages where they help most.

Therapists are in a different position. The American Psychological Association’s ethics code (Standard 5.05) says psychologists don’t solicit testimonials from current therapy clients or from others who are vulnerable to undue influence. The American Counseling Association’s code (Standard C.3.b) says counselors don’t solicit testimonials from current or former clients or others vulnerable to undue influence, and that counselors discuss the implications with a client and get permission before using any testimonial. Other professional codes carry similar language, and state boards can add their own rules.

So for therapists we build trust differently: clear credentials, thoughtful articles, a warm and specific About page, professional affiliations, and a site that answers the questions people are nervous to ask. If clients leave reviews on their own, that’s their choice; we don’t set up campaigns that ask them to.

Directories like Psychology Today let people filter therapists by location, insurance and specialty, and many clients start there. A well-written profile is worth keeping. The problem is relying on it alone: you rent that space, you compete with every other clinician on the same page, and you can’t control how it’s ranked.

We treat directory profiles as a feeder, not the foundation. We tighten your profile copy so it matches your positioning, make sure your name, credentials and contact details match your website exactly, and link to a site you own where people can read more and book. Coaches have their own directories and marketplaces too, and the same rule applies.

Almost nobody searches for a coach or therapist by name unless they’ve already been referred. They search for the problem: ‘career coach for women in tech’, ‘therapist for perfectionism’, ‘couples counseling after infidelity’, ‘EMDR therapist near me’. Those specific searches have less volume than broad terms, but the people typing them are much closer to booking.

We build a page for each real specialty you offer, written in your voice, answering what people want to know before they reach out: who it’s for, how you work, what a first session looks like, cost or insurance, and in-person versus virtual. Those pages link to each other and to useful articles, which helps both Google and AI answer engines understand what you’re known for.

We don’t chase rankings for specialties you don’t want to practice. Traffic you can’t serve is a cost, not a win.

Many coaches and some therapists grow through stages and microphones. An event planner looking for a speaker wants a short bio, topics with clear takeaways, a video clip, past events and an easy way to check availability. If they have to email you to find out what you speak on, they’ll book someone else.

We build a speaking page that works like a one-sheet: topics, formats (keynote, workshop, panel, retreat), audience types, a reel and a booking inquiry form that asks for date, location, audience size and budget range. For podcasts we build episode pages with show notes, so each conversation becomes something search engines can find long after it airs.

On Bridging the Gap, Rachel Nelson’s site, coaching, speaking and the podcast each have their own clear path, so a woman looking for a sister circle and an event host looking for a speaker both find their way quickly.

Deciding to work with a coach or therapist is personal, and plenty of visitors need time. An email list gives them a low-pressure way to stay close. We build a simple signup offer that fits your work (a short guide, a reflection worksheet, a workshop invitation) and a welcome sequence that introduces you, your approach and how to book when they’re ready.

Workshops and group programs are a natural bridge. They let people experience how you work at a lower commitment, and they give you something specific to promote. We build event pages with registration, reminders and a follow-up email that invites attendees to a consult.

For therapists, email content stays educational and general. It never discusses anyone’s care, and the signup form asks for a name and email, nothing more.

If clients come to an office, a Google Business Profile is one of the most valuable free listings you have. We set it up with the right categories, hours, accurate address, booking link and photos, and keep it consistent with your website and directory profiles.

Virtual practices need more care. Google’s rules say a business that doesn’t receive customers at its address should hide that address and show a service area instead, and a virtual office doesn’t qualify unless it’s staffed during business hours. A fully virtual practice with no location clients visit should check Google’s current eligibility guidelines before creating a profile. We walk through those rules with you rather than risk a suspended listing.

Followers and page views are easy to count and hard to pay rent with. We report on booked discovery calls or consultations, show rate, how many became clients, and which channel each one came from. Your monthly report is short and plain: what happened, what we changed and what we’re trying next.

You own the domain, the website, the analytics and any ad accounts. If you ever leave, everything stays with you.
