Sound Familiar?
These are the problems we hear from counsellors in East Kilbride every single week. If any of these hit home, we can help.
No clear first step for anxious potential clients
People considering counselling need a gentle, clear path to getting in touch. If your website makes it complicated, they'll put it off — possibly indefinitely.
Your website doesn't feel safe or welcoming
Anxious people need a warm, inviting website. A dated or clinical site adds another barrier to reaching out.
Your BACP accreditation isn't visible enough
Accreditation matters enormously in counselling. If it's not prominently displayed on your website and Google listing, you're missing a key trust signal.
Clients trust you but don't leave reviews
A practice with 25 reviews looks infinitely more trustworthy than one with 2. Clients will review when asked gently.
What We Do for Counsellors
Four things that work together to bring you a steady stream of enquiries and calls — week after week.
Professional Website
A fast, mobile-friendly website with your phone number, enquiry form, and reviews front and centre. Built to turn visitors into calls.
Google Maps
We optimise your Google Business Profile so you show up in the map pack when people search for your trade locally.
More Reviews
An automated system that asks your customers for a Google review after every job. More reviews means more trust and higher rankings.
Local Services Ads
Google puts your business at the top of search with your reviews and a Google Verified badge. You only pay when someone actually calls.
