Mental Health / Therapy
The hardest part already happened before they found you.
RevThread markets a practice with the restraint the subject actually requires.
What this business is actually like
Someone searching for therapy has already done the difficult thing. What remains is practical and unglamorous: whether you take their insurance, whether you have availability, whether you work with what they are dealing with, and whether the first contact feels safe. Marketing that performs empathy rather than answering these questions reads as insincere to precisely the audience it is aimed at.
Worth knowing: Discounted new-patient offers only pay back if the patient stays — measure retention, not first visits.
Where growth gets lost
Not generic marketing problems. The specific ways a mental health / therapy business loses money it had already earned the right to.
Warmth is not the same as information
Reassuring language without specifics leaves the reader unable to work out whether you can actually help them, which is the only question they came with.
Availability and fit decide everything
A practice with no openings or the wrong specialism is not a match no matter how good the marketing is, and finding that out after a difficult enquiry costs the person real effort.
Ad disapproval for implying knowledge of the viewer's condition
Ad disapproval for implying knowledge of the viewer's condition. It is the kind of loss that never shows up as a bad month — the spend still goes out, the appointment request or call click still gets counted, and nothing tells you the money went to the wrong place.
Generating enquiries the practice has no capacity to see
Generating enquiries the practice has no capacity to see. It is the kind of loss that never shows up as a bad month — the spend still goes out, the appointment request or call click still gets counted, and nothing tells you the money went to the wrong place.
What marketing costs before anyone has sold anything
These are the ranges businesses are quoted when each piece is bought separately. Turn a line off to see what the stack looks like without it.
And then the advertising itself
- Cost per click
- $4.76
- Cost per lead
- $40
Median US search advertising for Physicians & Surgeons, the published category this business sits in — against an all-industry median of $67 per lead. Your market and competition move this considerably.
Then there are the hours every week spent briefing, reviewing and chasing it. And after all of it, the owner is still the one coordinating the marketing.
