TMS clinic marketing for patients looking beyond medication.
Practice Growth Co helps TMS and interventional psychiatry clinics reach patients researching alternatives to medication, explain the treatment clearly, and move the right patients through evaluation and into care. We build around your providers, the services you offer, your payment model, and your capacity for new patients.
Patient trust signals
Four signals patients evaluate before they ever reach out
Trust-led
Provider credibility
Board certifications, fellowship training, treatment specialties, surfaced clearly and credibly.
Patient reviews
Recent, authentic reviews that reduce uncertainty for patients evaluating care during a difficult time.
Privacy & safety
HIPAA-aware tracking, contextual targeting, and creative that never labels or categorizes the patient.
Consultation experience
Intake, scheduling, and first-touch communication built to feel calm, respectful, and unstigmatizing.
The Patient
Most TMS patients don't start their search with TMS.
TMS is FDA-cleared, but many of the patients who could benefit have never heard of it. They have usually tried medication, they are frustrated with side effects or with treatment that hasn't worked, and they are researching what else exists.
That gives TMS marketing two jobs. Educational content explains what TMS is, how it works, and why it may be an option for patients who haven't responded to medication. Conversion-focused pages then speak to that specific patient when they are ready to evaluate providers. Your clinicians guide the clinical content.
Patients are often evaluating providers during emotionally vulnerable moments, and trust is established long before a consultation is booked, so the systems we build are compliant, privacy-aware, and designed around patient trust.
Marketing Services for TMS Clinics
What we build for TMS clinics.
Each piece is planned with the others, so the content that introduces TMS, the ads that catch active searches, and the intake that follows all describe the same clinic and the same next step.
Educational content and SEO
Pages and articles that explain TMS, the treatment course, and who it may help in plain language, built around the questions patients search before they know which clinic to call.
Google Ads for active searches
Intent-driven campaigns for patients already searching for TMS and alternatives to medication in the areas you serve, sent to landing pages written for the medication-skeptical patient.
Meta and social, written carefully
Targeting based on mental health conditions is restricted, so social campaigns rely on contextual reach and creative that speaks to experience ("if conventional treatment hasn't worked") rather than labels.
Reviews and reputation
Reviews matter in a category built on trust, and privacy limits what can be asked and said. See reputation management for mental health practices for how we handle it.
Intake and evaluation path
TMS has a clinical evaluation step before treatment. We map and measure the path from first inquiry to evaluation to treatment start, so marketing is judged on patients who begin care.
Local reach
Search and campaigns aligned with the locations the clinic actually serves, with each location's details accurate wherever patients look.
Patient Flow
How TMS patients find care.
Different psychiatric services create very different acquisition journeys. A TMS patient behaves differently than a telehealth psychiatry patient or someone exploring ketamine therapy, and each needs different messaging, trust signals, and conversion systems.
Patient flow · psychiatric care
Awareness builds quietly · trust decides everything
Sequenced
01
Awareness
Patient recognizes that current care isn't working, explores quietly.
02
Trust
Evaluates providers, credentials, and whether the practice feels safe.
03
Consultation
Reaches out, books, attends, the moment intake experience matters most.
04
Treatment decision
Commits to ketamine, TMS, telehealth, or ongoing care, with confidence.
Measurement
What we measure for TMS clinics.
Cost per booked consultation, show rate, consultation-to-treatment-acceptance rate, and patient acquisition cost by channel. The acceptance rate matters most for TMS, because a clinical evaluation comes before a patient starts a course of treatment.
Intermediate measures explain the path; they do not replace the business outcome, which is new patients beginning appropriate care. A high volume of unsuitable inquiries is not the goal.
Our priority: new patients beginning an appropriate course of care. Intermediate measures explain the path; they do not replace the business outcome.
One strategy for your practice. Room to do the work.
We work month to month on a flat retainer, with one strategy built around your practice. When a campaign needs a new message, a landing page needs another test, or the offer needs to change, that is part of improving the work, not another hourly invoice.
Your advertising accounts stay in your name. Your proposal explains the agency retainer and advertising spend separately, along with the priorities we are taking responsibility for.

Outcomes from similar engagements
From compliance gap to second location for a ketamine + mental health clinic in Oregon.
A mental health, psychiatry, and ketamine clinic in Oregon came in with three compounding problems: no LegitScript certification (so ketamine ads couldn't run compliantly on Google or Meta), no local-SEO architecture (service pages named "Ketamine," not "Ketamine Treatment [City], Oregon"), and a Google Ads account stuck on a thin brand campaign and a wasteful broad match campaign. We fixed it in sequence: compliance first, website + SEO second, paid ads third. The clinic now ranks on page one for ketamine treatment searches across multiple Oregon cities, has a second location under renovation, and is running provider-hiring Meta campaigns to staff the expansion.
A statewide telehealth mental health practice rebuilt its booking funnel and finally tied ad spend to booked appointments, not page views.
For most of the engagement, this statewide telehealth psychiatry and therapy practice could only count page views as conversions: the moment someone started scheduling, not a patient who actually booked. We rebuilt conversion tracking in GA4 around the real booking journey, instrumented every step of the booking flow, worked with the practice to fix the one screen where patients were being lost, and split psychiatry and therapy into separate campaigns. Blended cost per booked appointment ran about $66 across the prior quarter and about $33 in the most recent week, a small sample we treat as trajectory rather than a locked-in benchmark.
A cash-pay behavioral health practice cut CPL from $150 to $35 in 30 days.
A cash-pay behavioral health provider in Toronto offered autism assessments, couples therapy, and individual therapy at premium rates. The Google Ads account had been running on broad match for months with no negative-keyword structure, sending traffic from people who would never pay her rates to a landing page that described services without speaking to anyone in particular. We rebuilt the campaigns around a high-income-professional ICP, separated her three services into distinct campaigns, and launched fast, purpose-built landing pages on Cloudflare (outside her bloated existing site) that positioned the practice for the patient she actually wanted. Same budget, 77% lower CPL, 3–6× the qualified lead volume, in 30 days.
