Building a repeatable TMS engine — not a one-off campaign that fades.

How we built a lasting marketing system for a TMS practice — search and ads set up to keep bringing in good-fit consult enquiries month after month, rather than a burst of activity that stalls.

Challenge

Campaigns that started and stalled.

TMS interest had been chased in bursts — a campaign would run, bring in some interest, then go quiet. What the practice needed wasn't another push but a system: one that builds on itself and keeps producing good-fit consults predictably.

Stop-start demand

Activity that spiked and then fell away, with no lasting system underneath it.

Poor-fit enquiries

Enquiries that didn't always fit TMS, wasting clinical consult time.

Awareness barrier

TMS still needs explaining before most patients will consider or search for it.

Nothing that builds over time

Little search foundation, so every result had to be paid for again rather than earned.

Approach

Systems over bursts, built to grow on themselves.

  1. Phase 1

    Map the patient path

    Mapping the path from depression-help interest to a good-fit TMS consult, with clear stages.

  2. Phase 2

    Search foundation

    Condition and treatment content that earns search visibility that builds over time.

  3. Phase 3

    Paid capture

    Targeted ads for people ready to act, with screening built into the booking path.

  4. Phase 4

    Measure & tune

    Tracking and tuning so the system keeps improving consult quality, not just numbers.

Results

Reported from the client's own analytics.

Consult flow, enquiry quality, and channel performance were tracked in the practice's own platforms. Consult volumes and treatment-start figures are reconciled with the client and shared under NDA — not published here.

The page’s narrative and engagement record describe the work made public for Options Psychiatry. Use the named scope to identify which service questions to explore further. A channel listed in an engagement record describes programme coverage; evidence of a particular result requires the corresponding report and reporting period.

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.
