A Manhattan psychiatry and therapy practice scaled from 15 to 60+ new patient intakes per month using HIPAA-compliant Google Ads targeting high-intent mental health searches.
Despite NYC's massive demand for mental health services, the practice was invisible online. Their therapists had full schedules from referrals, but the 2 psychiatrists had significant availability. Insurance-based referrals were slow and unpredictable.
We launched a precision Google Ads campaign targeting high-intent mental health searches in Manhattan, built HIPAA-compliant landing pages, and implemented call tracking to measure every intake from ad click to first appointment.
Mental health is unique — patients searching for help are often in crisis or high urgency. We designed every touchpoint to reduce friction: same-day appointment availability displayed, insurance accepted listed upfront, and warm, non-clinical messaging that reduced stigma.

“As psychiatrists, we're trained to help patients — not to market ourselves. Branding Pioneers handled everything with the sensitivity our field requires. The HIPAA compliance was non-negotiable and they got it right from day one. In 6 months, we went from empty appointment slots to hiring new providers to meet demand.”
Adding same-day availability, telehealth options, and insurance lists directly in ads reduced cost per intake by 60%. Patients in mental health crises won't wait.
A landing page about 'anxiety treatment in Manhattan' converted 3x better than a generic 'mental health services' page. Specificity builds trust.
65% of mental health intakes came via phone call, not form fill. Without call tracking, we would have attributed zero ROI to the campaigns.
