Can a solo practice rank for “psychologist Calgary”?
A solo practice can compete for Calgary searches when the site is clear about its work and the communities it serves. Google rewards focused specialty pages, a complete Google Business Profile, genuine reviews and a fast mobile site. We target realistic searches rather than promising a position.
Is SEO useful if all sessions are online?
Yes. People still search for an Alberta-registered therapist, a specific specialty or a clinician who offers telehealth from Calgary. The site should state that sessions are online, which parts of Alberta you serve and how the first appointment works.
Should the site mention nearby communities such as Airdrie or Cochrane?
Name the places the practice genuinely serves on the office or service-area page. A clear service-area section is more useful than a thin duplicate page for every quadrant or suburb. If a nearby community produces real demand, it may deserve its own page later, but not one that repeats the same copy.
When will I see results?
We do not promise a timeline. Google sets the pace, and rankings depend on the starting site, the competition, the review profile and how consistently the work is maintained. The first visible progress is the work itself — fixes, new pages and rewritten titles — followed by reports on which searches the pages appear for.
How much does it cost?
Pricing is structured as a 3-month implementation project across three packages: Starter ($329.99/month), Professional ($379.99/month) and Premium ($429.99/month), with payments spread over 12 months. The monthly figure is an installment toward the project, not a recurring retainer. A group with several clinicians may require a larger scope, confirmed in a written quote after a free review.
Do you work with group practices?
Yes. Groups often need a clearer structure: who each clinician is, which specialties and populations they serve, where sessions happen and how inquiries are routed. We can plan the site around the group as a whole without losing the individual clinicians a client may be looking for.
Does your marketing respect Alberta licensing bodies and professional ethics rules?
We avoid guarantees, clinical claims and misleading wording. Marketing should describe the practice accurately, not promise a ranking or an outcome. The practice remains responsible for its own compliance with Alberta regulatory bodies and professional obligations, and we flag anything that may need a closer review.
What is AI search optimization (AI SEO, AEO, GEO) for therapists?
It means giving AI tools a clear, consistent picture of the practice: specialties, Alberta registration, location and booking, expressed accurately on the site and across profiles. AEO (answer engine optimization) and generative engine optimization (GEO) are labels for parts of that work. No agency can promise a citation or a position in an AI answer.
