Challenges
When we started the digital marketing project, they had almost no online visibility. That is not uncommon especially if you are new in business and have not dedicated a lot of effort to this critical area. They were not ranking with online and Google searches at all and had almost no social media presence. We had to start from the ground up with their online marketing and presence.
Strategy
We took a holistic approach to building their online presence and started watching all of these facets of digital marketing:
- Keyword research
- Competitive analysis
- Content writing
- Blog writing
- Social media marketing
- Building backlinks
- Pay-per-click (PPC) with Google Ads
- Substrata difficulties for fall in online business

As a result of collaborative efforts between the two teams, currently (as of Jan 20, 2026) we are ranking very high for all of these terms:
- Couples therapy Southlake
- ADHD counseling
- Christian counseling Southlake
