HiveSourced Google Business Profile Management

Google Business Profile Management for Therapists

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.

Why your Google Business Profile needs steady attention

hivesourced underline

A profile that is set up once and forgotten drifts out of date.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.

The details do not match

If your name, address or phone differ between your profile and your website, clients and Google both lose confidence in the listing.

Reviews go unanswered

Reviews for therapy practices need careful, privacy-safe replies. Many practices avoid them altogether because they are unsure what is safe to say.

Services and categories are thin

A profile with one broad category and no services listed tells Google little about who you help or what you offer.

Nobody checks the results

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.

What's included in every build

hivesourced underline

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.

What we handle on your Google Business Profile

hivesourced underline

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.

Accurate, complete listing

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.

  • Name, address and phone match your site
  • Specific categories, as few as describe your core work
  • Services and hours kept current

Privacy-aware review replies

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.

  • Short, warm replies with no clinical detail
  • Nothing that confirms a person is a client
  • You approve the wording before it posts

Questions, updates and photos

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.

  • Clear description of who you help
  • Updates when services or hours change
  • Photos of your real office or space

A website that backs up the profile

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.

  • Landing pages that fit each service
  • Consistent practice details across the site
  • Schema markup on key pages

Monthly reporting

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.

  • Search Console, GA4 and Ahrefs data
  • Plain-language summary of what changed
  • Next steps for the following month

Works with a site we build or one you have

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.

  • Month-to-month, no contracts
  • Same plan for solo and group practices
  • Group practices can see our group practice websites

How profile management works

hivesourced underline

1. Audit and plan

We review your current profile, website and the clients you want to reach, then list what needs fixing first.

2. Profile cleanup

About 1 week. We correct details, categories and services so the listing is accurate.

3. Monthly management

Ongoing each month. Review replies, updates and local service pages added to your site.

4. Monthly report

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.

Google Business Profile management FAQ

hivesourced underline

What does Google Business Profile management include?

We keep your name, address, phone, hours, categories and services accurate, draft privacy-safe review replies, keep questions and updates current and report on results each month. It is part of our $500 per month SEO plan.

How much does it cost?

Full Google Business Profile management is included in our Monthly SEO and Content Growth plan at $500 per month. See the pricing page for everything the plan covers.

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.
