As far as advertising on Google becomes more expensive, we've found the way to fit acquisition costs into our clients' financial models by building ads for particular therapy types only.

We know how to hit required cost per lead for these services, we DON'T know how to do it for other services.

Outside these four areas? We may not be the right fit — and we'll tell you on the call.

Three reasons your ads don't perform.

Spend a lot on ads, but don't get leads

You're getting website traffic, but barely any leads for cost that will never hit break-even.

Three quiet leaks

Counseling sphere faces specific difficulties with Google Ads — overall it's either "I get clicks but no leads" or "My leads never book", but a deeper layer is more complex:

No. 01

What we do — rebuild ad structure and ads copy so that only relevant and high-intent person clicks, and the wrong kind self-selects out before they visit your website.

Insurance-seekers when you're private-pay (but we do work with insurance practices)

Expensive leads, no return

No. 02

No. 03

Half your inquiries open with "do you take my insurance?" You don't, so they leave and you still pay Google for those leads.

You spend 4-figures on Google Ads and get one-digit number of leads — not enough to break even on the spend, let alone profit.

What we do — filter insurance seekers on ad level so they never see your website and don't drain your ad budget.

What we do — optimize the entire acquisition funnel on each step, so the math itself allows to hit KPI in terms of cost per qualified lead.

Real practices.
Real numbers.

how we work

We first assess your current situation, then decide what you need, just like you do with your patients. If you need price before you provide all the info - we won't be able to name it, apologies for that.

Weekly iterative optimization toward target cost per qualified lead

Weekly reporting on qualified leads cost and volume

We measure success in qualified leads only. Clear and actionable reports once a week. Starting the second month, we set KPI on the amount of Q-leads and CPqL, then work to hit it on a daily basis.

We're a great fit if…

You run a U.S.-based counseling practice or agency.

do we fit?

Be honest with these — it saves both of us a call.

Your focus is relationships, sex therapy, EMDR or anxiety treatment.

You can sustain at least $900/month in advertising spend.

You understand how to monetize qualified inquiries — we'll bring in leads, but turning them into patients is up to you.

You're ready for 20–40 days of optimization. That's how long stable CPL takes.

Ad spend managed

or the past 7 years I've helped various businesses grow through

paid ads — and around 4 years ago I've started getting quite solid results for a particular niche, which is counseling, so I've doubled-down on it. Now I manage a team of niche-specific marketers to get you fully covered on the lead-gen side.

My focus is the four specialties on this page: relationships, sex therapy, EMDR and anxiety. The case studies above are mine — not borrowed from a portfolio site.

When you book a call, you talk to me directly — not an account manager. I take a limited number of clients at a time because of these 3 facts:

- Every business has its specific situation, so it takes time to get into each case;

- I want to work with you for a long time. My client's average partnership time is 11 months, so I really put an effort to provide you with quality leads, so it's more efficient for me to retain you than to look for a new client. That's why we will agree on results and not hours per week;

- I aim for each client to become a case study. To do so, I have to execute flawlessly, and I do so.

Things practitioners ask before the first call.

What if my niche isn't on your list?

We need to assess your business and niche before we proceed to work. For example, we will not be able to help practices that work with substance usage.

Why a $900/month minimum on ads?

Based on current benchmarks, below this budget Google Ads doesn't have enough data to optimize, and our work can't show measurable lift. It's a floor for results, not a price filter.

How fast will I see results?

Most clients see meaningful lift in lead volume within 3 weeks. Stable cost per qualified lead typically settles between day 20 and day 40.

Do you work with insurance-based practices?

Yes — but the playbook is different. Tell us on the call so we set the right expectations and pre-qualification logic.

What if Google Ads isn't the actual problem?

That happens. Our audit covers the full funnel — ads, page, intake, sales. E.g. you may struggle with sales or retention (LTV). If your bottleneck is downstream, we'll say so before you sign anything.

Common questions

Flat fee or revenue share?

Flat monthly fee, scoped to your account size. No percentage of revenue. No surprise charges.

How is this different from a Psychology Today listing?

Directories are limited in terms of effort you may put in. Google Ads has a larger leverage over your leads flow, it brings clients searching with intent — for the specific service you offer, in the area you serve, at the price you charge. Both have a place; they aren't the same tool.

Curious if this would work for your practice?

Spend thirty minutes with me. I'll tell you what is the fastest fix in your funnel to see the change — and whether we're the right team to fix it.
