positive for BRCA.
She searched for a counselor tonight.

Dedicated SEO for genetic counseling clinics.

Google Google Maps ChatGPT AI Overviews

A woman with a strong family history of breast cancer. A couple planning a pregnancy who both carry a recessive gene. A cardiologist's patient who needs to know if a sudden death in the family is inherited. Each one opens Google, types hereditary cancer counseling near me or do I need genetic testing, and increasingly asks ChatGPT whether a mail in kit is enough. Right now those searches rarely find a real counselor. We make sure they find you.

It starts with a deep look at your specialties, the panels and payers you work with, and the areas you serve in person and by telehealth. Then the pages, profile and proof that win those searches and turn a frightened stranger into a booked session. Real data. Monthly reports. Month to month.

The uncomfortable truth

You give patients clarity in the scariest moment. Google hands them a spit kit instead.

Your sessions change lives. You help a family understand a BRCA result, walk a couple through carrier screening before a pregnancy, and stop a patient from making a surgical decision on bad information. Yet when that same patient first goes looking, a direct to consumer test ad and a hospital page with no counselor named beat you to the click. The clinic that shows up gets the self referral and the testing that follows.

Meanwhile your calendar rides on a few referring offices. One oncologist retires, one OB group switches to an in house model, and a quarter of your volume disappears with a single phone call you never got. When referrals dip, there is no second stream to catch you.

Ranking is the one patient channel you own outright instead of borrow from a referring doctor. Wait another quarter and the telehealth genetics group licensed in your state quietly claims the searches your neighbors are already typing.

How search used to work

Ten blue links. Ten chances to be the one they trust.

How it works now
✨ AI answer
Mail in test brandHospital, no counselorYour clinic

One answer. Two or three names in it. If a machine cannot verify a board certified counselor at your clinic, it names someone else.

What we find in almost every audit

Three reasons a real counselor
reads as invisible.

Most genetics clinic sites are written for referring physicians, not for the anxious patient typing at midnight or the AI model trying to verify who you are. These are the three gaps we find again and again, and the first things we fix.

Reason 01

Nothing an AI can verify

Your board certification, your specialties and your telehealth states live in a PDF or a paragraph no machine can read. Without schema, an engine has no trusted record that a certified counselor practices here, so it defaults to a test brand.

Machine readable credentials0%
Typical genetics clinic site before we start.
Reason 02

One page for every kind of patient

Hereditary cancer, prenatal, cardiac and pharmacogenomics all sit on a single Services page. But a BRCA worried patient and a couple planning a pregnancy search completely different things, with completely different fears. One page cannot answer them both.

Searches you have a page for0%
Typical genetics clinic site before we start.
Reason 03

Invisible on the map

Because most volume comes by referral, your Google Business Profile sits half built, with the wrong category, no counselor named, and old hours. So a patient searching genetic counselor near me never even sees you in the three pin map.

Dedicated genetic counseling SEO · How it works

Zero guesswork.
We map your clinic indication by indication.

Before we write anything, we learn the specialties that fill your calendar, the panels and labs you order, the payers you are contracted with, and the states your counselors are licensed to see by telehealth. The result is engineered around your practice alone, in language that reassures rather than alarms.

🔬

Step oneDeep discovery

We learn your case mix: hereditary cancer versus prenatal and carrier screening, cardiac genetics, pharmacogenomics and whole exome review, plus which sessions you most want more of and the counties and telehealth states worth winning. Everything is reverse engineered from your ideal patient.

🗺️

Step twoMapping the demand

We surface the searches that matter: hereditary cancer counseling near me, BRCA testing, do I need genetic testing before pregnancy, carrier screening cost, and the questions patients now ask AI about their results. Ranked by booked sessions, not empty clicks.

📝

Step threePages that fill your calendar

Indication by indication, area by area, we publish content built to rank and to move a frightened searcher into a scheduled appointment. The measure is booked counseling, never raw traffic.

What that looks like in practice

One page per indication.
In every area you serve.

Not thin filler. Individual pages, each built around a single indication in a single place, with the FAQ schema, the verified listing and the exact wording patients use when they are afraid. This is the grid Google and AI read before they pick who to recommend.

SEO + GEO · Built for how patients search now

Patients now ask the chatbot if they even need a counselor.

The search box is no longer just Google. A woman staring at a raw DNA report types what does a positive BRCA result mean and should I see a genetic counselor straight into ChatGPT or Perplexity, and Google stacks an AI Overview above the map before she scrolls. If the machines cannot read, trust and cite a real counselor at your clinic, the answer sends her to a mail in kit and you never hear from her.

So we work both fronts together: traditional SEO to own the map and the classic listings, and GEO, generative engine optimization, so the AI answer names your clinic as the safe, human, board certified pick. Wherever a patient decides who to trust with a life changing result, you are already there.

Why SEO is worth the wait

Referrals can dry up overnight.
SEO is the stream you own.

Physician referrals and ads can both fill a week fast, and we value both. But a referral source can vanish with one retirement, and ads stop the day you pause them. SEO starts slower and then compounds, building a self owned stream of patients that keeps arriving and lowers your cost per booked session over time.

Referrals & ads: steady while they last SEO: slow, then compounding
Month 1Month 4Month 8Month 12SELF REFERRED PATIENTS FROM SEARCH Referrals & adsSEOsource lost →

The honest version: SEO is not a light switch. Most clinics see the first real movement around month two or three, and the compounding shows up between months six and twelve. We report monthly with real data so you see the direction long before the peak, and the clinics that started a year ago are the ones a new telehealth competitor cannot catch now.

How we work

Chances are a marketing company already promised you page one, emailed a report you never read, and then wrote about inherited risk in a way that would frighten your patients off. We do the opposite, the way we would insist on it if it were our own calendar sitting empty.

✓

We speak genetics.

Hereditary cancer and BRCA, prenatal and carrier screening, cardiac genetics, pharmacogenomics, VUS results and telehealth licensure across states. No time wasted teaching us your own field.

✓

Compassion over clickbait.

We write for a scared person, not for a shopper. Accurate, calm, never fear mongering about cancer risk. Content that earns trust before the first appointment.

✓

You see the numbers.

Every month, a clear report: rankings gained, new patient inquiries, what we do next. No jargon, no mystery about where your money went.

✕

Never locked in.

Month to month, full stop. Ranking rewards patience, but you keep us because the calendar keeps filling, not because a contract says you must.

✕

No page dumping.

We will not smother your site in dozens of thin, spun pages about every rare syndrome. Google penalizes it and patients sense it. Fewer pages, each built to reassure and convert.

✕

No fairy tales.

Anyone guaranteeing the top pin by next week is lying to you. You get the honest timeline on the call, backed by data, including when SEO is not the right first move for your stage.

Good questions

Everything you're wondering, answered.

How long does SEO take to work for a genetic counseling clinic?
Genetic counseling is a low awareness search, which actually works in your favor once you show up. Most clinics see the first movement on service pages and in the map pack within 2 to 3 months, with the strongest compounding between months 6 and 12. Because far fewer clinics fight for these terms than fight for dentist or med spa, a clinic that starts now can own hereditary cancer counseling in its metro before anyone else claims it.
My patients get referred by doctors. Why would I need SEO?
Physician referrals are wonderful and unpredictable. A single oncologist retiring or an OB group changing partners can cut your volume overnight. Meanwhile more patients self refer than ever: a woman whose sister just tested positive for BRCA searches hereditary cancer counseling near me at midnight. SEO builds a second, self owned stream of patients that does not depend on any one referring office remembering you exist.
How do patients search for genetic counseling before they book?
Rarely by the words we use. They type do I need genetic testing before I get pregnant, what does a positive BRCA result mean, genetic counselor that takes my insurance, or is 23andMe enough. We build pages that answer those exact questions and end each one with a clear next step to book, so the person who arrived scared and confused leaves with an appointment.
Can my clinic show up when someone asks ChatGPT about BRCA or genetic testing?
This is where genetics is uniquely exposed. Patients now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews things like should I see a genetic counselor before testing and who offers hereditary cancer counseling near me. We structure your entity, credentials, schema and content so those engines can verify a board certified counselor and recommend your clinic by name, instead of pointing everyone to a mail in kit.
How much does genetic counseling SEO cost, and are there contracts?
You get a flat monthly retainer with no long term contract, so you stay because the calendar fills, not because a clause traps you. On the free call we look at your metro, your session capacity and your specialties, then quote a scope that fits. One hereditary cancer patient who proceeds to counseling and testing usually covers a month of work many times over.
Do you only work with genetic counseling and healthcare?
Yes. We are a healthcare only agency and we understand this field: cancer genetics, prenatal and carrier screening, cardiac genetics, pharmacogenomics, telehealth licensure across states, and the sensitivity of writing about inherited risk without scaring people off. Every page respects that your patients are anxious, not shopping. Your clinic is never the experiment.
