Turning TMS therapy from unknown into a considered option for treatment-resistant patients.

How we built patient interest in a TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) service — explaining an unfamiliar, drug-free depression therapy clearly enough that the right patients understood it and reached out.

Challenge

A proven therapy, few patients knew it.

TMS is an FDA-cleared, drug-free option for treatment-resistant depression — yet most patients have never heard of it. The hard part wasn't competing for known demand; it was creating understanding before anyone could even search for the treatment by name.

Low treatment awareness

Patients search for depression help, not 'TMS' — so interest had to be created through clear teaching.

Vulnerable audience

People in treatment-resistant depression need calm, non-hyped messaging — never pressure tactics.

Clinical credibility gap

An unfamiliar device therapy demands clear, accurate explanation of how it works and who it suits.

Long consideration path

Patients often try TMS after other options — the journey needed patience, not a hard sell.

Approach

An education-first funnel, clinically grounded.

  1. Phase 1

    TMS education core

    Plain-language explainers on what TMS is, candidacy, and what a course of treatment involves.

  2. Phase 2

    Condition search

    Search content linking depression-help searches to the TMS option.

  3. Phase 3

    Paid consult capture

    Targeted ads for people ready to act, sent to a clear booking path.

  4. Phase 4

    Trust & follow-through

    Reassurance content and FAQs to support the long decision from interest to first consult.

Mental-health discovery needs a clear, considerate next step

Mental-health marketing should explain the services offered, who provides them and how an initial enquiry is handled. Distinguish a general educational explanation from information about a particular treatment. Keep the contact route straightforward and make the destination of enquiries clear to the intake team. Language and accessibility choices should support understanding. Clinical suitability and patient-specific recommendations belong with the treating professional.

Design the website around a real patient task

Start with the task a visitor needs to complete. Finding a treatment, checking a clinician’s background, identifying a location and asking for an appointment are related tasks, but they need different information. Make those paths visible in the navigation and on the relevant service pages. A good brief includes the content and the operational destination of each action: who receives the form, what happens after submission and how a visitor obtains help when the first contact route fails.

Desktop screens help explain page hierarchy, but they cannot establish the quality of the mobile experience. Check readable text, tap targets, menu behaviour and form validation on a phone. Long doctor biographies and treatment descriptions should remain easy to scan without hiding important details in decorative interactions. When a collection shows both desktop and mobile artwork, compare the priority of information across them. The mobile layout should preserve useful content rather than simply shrink the desktop composition.

From visual approval to a checked release

A launch review should cover content ownership, approved contact information, working forms, redirects and the URLs that search engines are expected to index. If a site replaces an existing website, map important old pages to appropriate new destinations. Check titles, descriptions, canonicals and internal links against the actual released URLs. Keep the review list separate from the visual approval: a polished mockup does not prove that a live booking form, analytics event or redirect behaves correctly.

Document the difference between a design study, a delivered website and a live capture. A design study explains a proposed experience. A live capture records what the site looked like when it was captured. Neither alone establishes an improvement in appointment conversion. For an outcome comparison, use a defined period and consistent event definitions, then reconcile digital enquiries with attended appointments where the practice can do so. Performance and accessibility checks should be repeatable after future content edits, not only at the first launch.
