NewPatientIQ is the complete search-to-booking system built for psychiatry and mental health practices. Most patients don't take a single path to you: they search on Google, ask ChatGPT, check your Google Business Profile, and click through to your website before they decide whether to book. We optimize every step of that path for one thing: turning searches into booked patients, not vanity traffic.
Whether it's your Google Ads dashboard or an agency's monthly report, you're shown clicks, impressions, and "average position." None of it tells you whether a single new patient actually booked.
You watch your cost per click, but the real cost is what you pay for each patient who actually books, and it's usually far higher. Your ads stop the moment you stop paying; the searches you win organically keep booking patients long after.
"What is depression" drives 10× the traffic of "psychiatrist accepting new patients", and zero of the bookings. Most reports treat both keywords as wins.
Vague advice never gets done. We show you the exact change to make, on a specific page: the headline Google shows, the answer Google or ChatGPT can quote, the FAQ that earns the click. Specific enough to hand to your web person today.
Patients find you through Google search, AI assistants, your local presence (your Google Business Profile and directories like Psychology Today), and your own website. We work all four layers as one system and hand your team specific changes to make each week.
We sort your Google and Bing search data by who's ready to book versus who's just researching. Then we fix the behind-the-scenes details that help search engines understand and trust a medical practice, so you rank for the searches that actually book patients, not the ones just browsing.
When someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, or Google's AI Overviews for a psychiatrist, are you mentioned? We track your AI citations and restructure your content so the assistants recommend you.
The local map results are where many nearby patients decide who to call. We audit your profile, reviews, categories, posts, and whether your name, address, and phone match across Healthgrades, Psychology Today, Zocdoc, and more, so you win the local map.
Traffic only matters if it books. We find where visitors drop off, intake forms, mobile booking, missing trust signals, unclear insurance, and tell you exactly what to change to turn more visitors into appointments.
After your scorecard, here's what each week looks like.
Refreshed weekly and focused on the two changes that matter most right now, not a 40-item backlog you'll never finish.
The exact changes to make, written so you can hand them straight to your web person. Usually under an hour of work.
What shipped, what moved, and what's next, so you always know where things stand.
Your rankings, AI visibility, and new-patient bookings, tracked against where you started.
We read the data and call the shots; your team ships the changes. That's what keeps it fast, and keeps you in control.
Most SEO tools were built for ecommerce or content sites, where any traffic is good traffic. Mental health practices don't work that way, and neither do we.
We don't sell backlinks. We don't lock you into a year-long contract. We don't bill you for vague "SEO work" you can never see. What we do is map the entire path from search to booked patient (Google, AI search, your Business Profile, and your website) and hand your team specific, prioritized changes to ship. The strategic work most agencies charge for and never actually deliver.
I run a psychiatry practice. Last year, unauthorized SEO code was injected onto our site, and our agency's standard reporting didn't catch it. Our rankings collapsed for the keywords that actually mattered (new patient searches) while traffic from informational queries kept the dashboards looking green.
I rebuilt our reporting from scratch, connected it directly to Google Search Console, and added a way to sort searches by booking intent, so the report would scream when our new-patient rankings dropped, even if total traffic looked fine. The recovery worked. NewPatientIQ is the productized version of that system, built for other practices.
Submit your site below and within 48 hours you'll get a free scorecard across Google, AI search, your Business Profile, and your website, plus a snapshot of who Google and ChatGPT recommend in your area instead of you. Yours to keep, no obligation.
No, never. The free scorecard needs no access at all, we build it from your practice's public online presence. If you later move to an ongoing plan, all we ever need is read-only connections to the accounts your plan covers. We never get admin access to your site, and we never touch your patient systems or EHR. Recommendations are delivered as a document that you (or your web person) implement.
None. The search and listing data we analyze is anonymous, it's what people type into Google and AI assistants, never who they are. There's no patient identity, no PHI, and no connection to your EHR or scheduling system.
It can, though many practices start by running us alongside their current agency, as an independent read on whether the work is actually booking patients. If the data shows your agency is winning the wrong searches, or missing AI search entirely, that's a conversation worth having.
Yes, it's a core layer of what we do. More and more patients ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, or Google's AI Overviews for a psychiatrist before they ever click a link. We track whether you're being cited in those answers and restructure your content so the assistants recommend you. Most agencies don't touch this yet.
No, and that's deliberate. Each week we hand you a prioritized action plan and the exact changes to make; your web person ships them (usually under an hour a week). For off-site items like incorrect or missing listings around the web, we pinpoint exactly what's wrong, but the fixes are made by your team or a referral partner we can point you to. Staying out of the implementation ourselves is what keeps us fast and keeps you in control.
The free report arrives within 48 hours. Most on-page changes (page headlines, search-result descriptions, and the behind-the-scenes details search engines read) start moving rankings within 2–4 weeks. Off-page fixes you implement (directory listings and where you're mentioned around the web) typically take 6–12 weeks to register.
Yes, most of our early focus is on practices with 1–10 providers. Smaller practices typically get the largest relative lift because there's usually low-hanging fruit a generalist agency hasn't touched.
If it's useful, we'll offer an ongoing plan that covers the full path (search, AI visibility, your Business Profile, and website conversion) with a fresh prioritized action list on a regular cadence. If you'd rather take the free scorecard and run with it yourself, that's fine too.
Pricing scales with the size of your practice and the number of service lines you want covered. Given that a single new patient is typically worth well over $1,000 in lifetime value, the service pays for itself on the first additional booking. We'll walk through the right tier for your practice after you've seen your free report, no pressure, no contract required.
