Subscription builders raise renewals.
The category is built around quiet annual increases and surprise charges that arrive on a Friday night. The longer you stay, the more it costs. The code never becomes yours.
$200 a month, flat. Custom design tailored to your specialties (not a template), live in five days from intake, and you keep the code, the content, and the domain. No setup fee.

The category is built around quiet annual increases and surprise charges that arrive on a Friday night. The longer you stay, the more it costs. The code never becomes yours.
Drag-and-drop platforms publish bloated pages that fail Core Web Vitals and miss the structured data search engines (and now AI search) need to understand a clinical practice. You exist online without being findable.
Directories bring some inquiries. They also place you next to forty other clinicians on a page you do not control, with a contact form that routes through their funnel, not yours. Your brand lives somewhere else.
One number. No tiers, no add-ons, no setup fee.
More prospective clients are asking ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI for therapist recommendations in their state. Sites without proper structured data are invisible to those engines. This tier optimizes the inputs those models use to surface and cite your practice.
A note on what this is and is not. AI engine citations cannot be guaranteed by anyone. The inputs are optimized (schema, structure, content patterns). The outputs are decided by the model.

A short form. Name, email, your practice. No call required to start.
Specialties, current insurance panels, telehealth states, fees, and tone preferences. By phone or written form, your choice.
Your fully built site arrives at a private review URL. You read it, request changes, and approve before the first invoice.
Insurance panel changes, telehealth state additions, new specialties, photo swaps. Email it, it is handled, usually the same day.
It does, and that should be acknowledged. Large directories have years of search authority a small practice site cannot match in a quarter. They are a low-effort source of inquiries and they will keep working.
Here is what they do not do. They do not give you a brand the way a colleague or referring physician sees one. They do not give you a URL that belongs on your business card or your prescription pad. They do not let you control the intake pathway, the questions, or the tone of first contact. They do not appear in AI search citations the way a properly structured site can. And the visitor comparing five directory profiles is in a very different mindset than a visitor who lands on your site directly. Both kinds of inquiry can coexist. Most established practices benefit from owning the second one.
The form is HIPAA-aware, not a substitute for a clinical intake system. It collects name, email, phone, and a short reason for inquiry. The form copy explicitly asks visitors not to share PHI. Submissions are encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest, and forwarded to the email address you choose. For protected health information, you continue to use your existing EHR or intake platform.
Yes. The code, the design, the copy, the domain. On cancellation you receive an export of the site source and a clean DNS handoff. No clawback, no domain freeze, no waiting period.
Subscription builders rent you a template inside their platform. You cannot take the site with you. Renewal pricing tends to drift up each year. Here the site is custom-coded to your practice, the price is flat $200 a month, and the source is yours from day one.
A template purchase ends when you hit publish. After that, hosting, SSL, security patches, content updates, telehealth and insurance changes are on you. Here those are included for as long as you are a client.
One email. Service ends at the close of the current billing month. You receive the source export and a DNS handoff. No phone tree, no retention pitch.
All clinical specialties recognized by your license. Common builds include trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, couples and family, EMDR, perinatal, ADHD, OCD, eating disorders, grief, LGBTQIA-affirming care, and faith-aligned practice. Specialty-specific schema is added so search and AI engines understand your focus.
Send the change by email. Updates are included and typically live within one business day. The site is structured so insurance panels are a single edit, not a page rebuild.
You can if you want a CMS login. Most clients prefer to email the change and have it handled the same day. Either path is included.
No. Directory listings stay your responsibility. The site is built to be the trusted destination clients land on after they find you in a directory, and to stand on its own when they search for you directly.
You already own the code, the content, and the domain. The site is built on standard, portable web infrastructure. On 60 days notice you receive a full export and a guided handoff to a new host or developer. No lock-in by design.
A built preview at a private URL, free, no payment required. If it is not right, that is the end of the conversation.
