Getting your
phone to ring.
Saman, thanks again for the call, and no rush going through this.
You said the last version felt like a lot, so I have stripped this down to plain words and put everything in one place. Read it whenever you have a quiet minute. If any single part is still unclear, tell me which line and I will fix it. That is a promise too.
The problem isn't your work. It's the phone.
Here is your situation as I understand it. You built a beautiful website a couple of years ago. You run a real practice and you keep the clients you get, your retention is strong. So this was never about your work, and it was never about desire.
The problem is that the phone is not ringing. Psychology Today goes quiet for months while people you know get calls every week, and you are fairly sure most people simply are not seeing you. You do not want more of the wrong thing. You want more of the right people finding you and picking up the phone. That is the whole job, and it is a very fixable one.
Your voice stays yours.
You told me something that clearly matters to you, and it matters to me too. You do not want your pages turned into an advertisement. You want them to still sound like you.
So here is my promise, plainly: I do not touch your voice. I write around it, and nothing I change ever goes live until you have read it and said yes. You approve every word first. If a line does not sound like you, it does not go up. Simple as that.
The work, in plain terms.
- ·Find the right searches. The exact words your future clients type when they are ready to reach out, not broad therapy topics that bring the wrong visitors.
- ·Fix the website to be found and clicked. So you show up for those searches and stand out when someone sees you listed next to others.
- ·Set up and optimize your Google Business Profile. So you appear on the map the moment someone searches for therapy near them. This is often where the fastest local calls come from.
- ·Align your Psychology Today profile. So it works with your website instead of sitting on its own, pulling in the same direction.
- ·Clear the friction. So when the right person lands on your page, calling you feels easy and obvious.
This foundation is the same in both plans below. If you choose the plan with ads, a paid layer sits on top of it to bring leads in much faster, which I will come to in a moment.
My guarantee to you.
If the leads don't come, I keep working until they do.
I will be honest with you. I cannot promise a specific number of clients, because whether a call becomes a client depends on your fees, your fit, and your conversations, and that part is yours. But you told me that when the phone rings, you usually book the appointment. So I will guarantee the part I actually control: getting qualified, local people to call and message you.
Whichever plan you choose, the promise is the same. If the qualified leads are not coming in within the window we agree, I keep working your account at no extra cost until they are. No new fees, and I do not walk away.
All I ask is that you hold up your side: approve content reasonably promptly, keep your Psychology Today profile active, give me the access I need, and reply to the people who reach out. Do that, and the result sits with me.
A quick honest note on that other company's promise of eight clients. Ask them what counts as a client and what the conditions are. A promise that big almost always has fine print. I would rather give you one I can actually keep.
Pick the pace that fits you.
There are two ways we can do this. Both begin with a full audit in the first week so you see exactly what is wrong before I change anything, both include the guarantee above, and both protect your voice. The real difference is speed. One adds paid ads to bring leads in fast on a twelve month plan, the other is a leaner eight month plan that builds your results steadily. I will not pretend any of this is instant, so I have put the honest timing right on each option.
You make the phone worth answering. I'll make it ring.
You said it yourself: when the phone rings, you book them. My entire job is to make it ring, with the right people, in a way that still feels like you.
So here is all I need. Tell me which of the two plans fits you, and I will start with the audit this week and send you the specific lead target in writing once I have seen your real numbers. If you would rather talk it through first, I am happy to jump on a short call whenever suits you.
