You might be doing everything right with your website and still wonder why the inquiries are slow, so in this episode I walk you through what is changing in October 2026 and how to get found by AI as a therapist as well as by Google. I share why traffic that arrives through AI converts at around 12% while traffic from a Google ad converts at around 2%, and what that means for AI search optimisation for psychologists, counsellors and social workers who have only ever focused on private practice website SEO.

We talk about why information is the foundation of marketing right now, why an attention economy rewards niching in private practice even further than you have already gone, and what to put on a therapist website so it answers the questions your ideal client is typing instead of offering flowery lines about safe spaces. You will hear how to explain your most common presentations and your modalities, how to add a simple reference, and how to pair all of it with your own experience and practice wisdom so your counselling website copy stands apart from AI generated pages, including why an AI disclosure in your website footer is needed if AI has touched your writing at all.

I also share my love-hate relationship with Meta ads (including a A$500 bill on an ad that was meant to cost A$10 a day, which I am still sorting out) and why a Google ad will only send traffic to a website that may not be ready to convert it. From there we look at private practice lead magnet ideas such as quizzes, guides, infographics, step by step visuals and companion videos, and at how to get referrals from GPs as a psychologist by tailoring your information to what is on the referrer's mind. Marketing changes take around 90 days from the day you hit publish to show results, which makes October a good time to start if you want to get more clients in private practice before the summer dip.
