HiveSourced Google Business Profile Management
Your Google Business Profile is often the first thing a local client sees. HiveSourced manages it for therapists and group practices as part of our $500 per month SEO plan, so your listing stays accurate, complete and tied to your website.
A profile that is set up once and forgotten drifts out of date. Hours change, services change and questions pile up. Here is where practices usually lose ground.
If your name, address or phone differ between your profile and your website, clients and Google both lose confidence in the listing.
Reviews for therapy practices need careful, privacy-safe replies. Many practices avoid them altogether because they are unsure what is safe to say.
A profile with one broad category and no services listed tells Google little about who you help or what you offer.
Without a look at how people find and contact you, it is hard to know what is working. A monthly review keeps the profile moving in the right direction.
Profile management is one part of our $500 per month SEO plan. If you also need a new site, every build includes the same core service.
Figma design before any code
We show three homepage directions first, then design each page in Figma. You get unlimited revisions in the design phase, before any code is written.
Copywriting in your voice
Your copy comes from a structured intake about the clients you want to see and the words they use when they look for help.
On-page SEO and schema
Meta titles, headings, schema markup and Google Search Console are in place at launch.
Built for phones first
Most clients search from a phone, so we design at phone size first and scale up.
HIPAA-compliant contact form
Your contact form sends inquiries through encrypted channels, and we help you connect a HIPAA-compliant email system for replies.
Training video and Slack updates
You get a recorded walkthrough to edit the site yourself, plus a dedicated Slack channel with updates every Tuesday and Friday.
Google says local results are based mainly on relevance, distance and prominence. Our work focuses on the parts a practice can control: accurate details, clear services and a website that backs them up.
We check your name, address, phone number, hours, categories and services against your website. Business names should follow Google's Business Profile guidelines, with no taglines or added keywords.
Replies to reviews are public, and a therapist cannot confirm that someone is a client. We draft replies that thank the reviewer without confirming treatment or sharing any detail. Check your licensing board's rules before you ask clients for reviews.
We keep the profile fresh with accurate answers to common questions, updates when your offerings change and photos of your office that you have the right to share. Descriptions can't contain links or promotions, so we write them plainly.
Your profile links to your site, so the landing page should match what the listing promises. Our Monthly SEO plan adds 3 to 5 location-based service pages each month. Read our Google Business Profile setup guide and the local SEO guide for therapists for the basics.
Every month you get a performance report with real data from Search Console, GA4 and Ahrefs, so you can see how people find your practice. Learn more about our SEO for therapists service.
The plan is available whether your site came from us or not. If your site is dated, our website redesign service can bring it up to match your profile.
We review your current profile, website and the clients you want to reach, then list what needs fixing first.
About 1 week. We correct details, categories and services so the listing is accurate.
Ongoing each month. Review replies, updates and local service pages added to your site.
Each month we share what we did and how people found you, with data from Search Console, GA4 and Ahrefs.
The SEO plan is month-to-month with no contracts. We work fully remotely, so you do not need to be near Chicago. Not sure what fits your budget? Tell us about your practice.
We design for therapists across the US. See finished sites in our portfolio, or read what clients say below.

Can a therapist reply to reviews?
Yes, but with care. Because a reply is public and a therapist cannot confirm someone is a client, replies should thank the reviewer without confirming treatment. Check your licensing board's rules on asking for reviews.
What does Google use to rank a local business?
Google says local results are based mainly on relevance, distance and prominence. Accurate details and a clear website help with relevance and prominence, but no one can guarantee a ranking.
Do I need a physical office?
Google's guidelines say a profile needs an accurate physical address, and P.O. boxes and virtual offices are not eligible. Service-area businesses that do not serve clients at their address should hide it. Read the guidelines before you set up.
Is this only for sites you build?
No. The plan works with a site we built or one you already have. If your site needs work, our redesign service is available.
How fast will I see results?
It varies by area and competition, and we cannot promise a position. Our guide to how long SEO takes explains the timeline.
