Is it OK to share client success stories?

Only with written authorization from the client or the child’s parent or guardian (a HIPAA authorization if your practice is a covered entity), and without details that could identify a child without consent. Educational content is a safer default.

Speech therapy marketing that speaks to worried parents and adults

A parent searching “speech therapist for toddler near me” or “late talker evaluation in San Diego” is anxious and looking for reassurance. An adult searching “stuttering therapy” or “voice therapy after surgery” wants expertise. We create clear, empathetic content and a simple path to an evaluation.

Digital marketing for speech-language pathologists: what makes the difference

Evaluations that match your specialties

Articulation, language delays, feeding, stuttering, AAC, voice or adult neuro rehab: we promote the services where you have expertise and capacity.

Teletherapy reach where you are licensed

If you offer teletherapy, we help you reach clients in every state where you are licensed or authorized, not only near your office.

Why SLP practices need focused marketing

Many families only learn about private speech therapy through a pediatrician or school. When they search online, they find directories, large therapy chains and confusing information about insurance and school services.

We position your practice clearly: who you help, what an evaluation involves, how private therapy differs from school-based services, which insurance plans you accept and how private pay works.

Then we build visibility with local SEO, a complete Google Business Profile, targeted search ads and helpful content that pediatricians, teachers and parents can share.

Be the practice AI tools recommend to parents

Parents ask ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews “when should a child start speech therapy” or “speech therapist near me that takes insurance.” We publish structured answers and keep your practice data accurate, including your ASHA ProFind listing, so AI tools are more likely to mention your practice.

Customers already ask ChatGPT and Google’s AI for a recommendation. Your business should be one of the answers.

Your questions, answered

Optimize your Google Business Profile, publish clear pages for each specialty and age group, explain insurance and private-pay options, collect genuine reviews and run targeted Google Ads for evaluation searches.

You can market to clients in the states where you hold a license or are otherwise authorized to practice. The Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology Interstate Compact (ASLP-IC) may expand this as it is implemented. We target campaigns and content to authorized states only.

Yes. Insurance is one of the first questions parents ask. Clear, up-to-date insurance and private-pay information reduces unqualified calls and builds trust.

Typical searches include “speech therapy near me,” “speech therapist for toddler,” “late talker,” “lisp therapy” and “speech evaluation.” We confirm the real search volume in your area before building pages.

We create a referral information page, downloadable materials and content your team can share with local providers, and we track referral form submissions.

Clearly and without criticizing public programs. Under IDEA, children under 3 may qualify for early intervention through their state’s Part C program, and school-age children may receive services through an IEP. Private therapy can complement those services, and a clear comparison page answers a question many parents ask before calling.

There’s no one-size-fits-all price: the budget depends on your goals, your market, local competition and the channels that actually make sense for your business (website, SEO, Google Ads, AI visibility). After a free assessment, we send you a detailed, tailored proposal with no commitment. Any ad budget is paid directly to Google or Meta and stays under your control.

It depends on your market and your competition, and no result is guaranteed. Once your accounts are approved, Google Ads can bring in first inquiries within days. SEO and AI visibility take several months to build: we show you the progress every month, with concrete numbers.

It depends on what you need. A website is a one-off project with a clear start and finish. SEO, Google Ads and AI visibility work best over time, but the format and length of the engagement are decided together, based on your goals. In some cases, month-to-month support is possible. Everything is spelled out in writing in our proposal before any work begins.
