What your practice gets
How patients search for a psychiatrist before they call
A patient looking for a psychiatrist usually types the whole situation into Google or ChatGPT late at night: how soon they can be seen, whether the first visit can happen over video, whether the practice takes their insurance, what a first evaluation involves, whether a prescription can start at the first appointment. The answer names the practice whose website covered those questions plainly, with a psychiatrist's name on the page. A site that lists its services in a sentence each gives Google and the AI nothing to stand behind, and the patient books with the practice across town.
The same patient also opens Google Maps and reads the listing: the categories, whether telehealth is offered, the hours, the recent reviews. The listing and the website have to agree on what you treat and who sees the patient.
Why psychiatry pages need a named psychiatrist behind them
Google and the AI platforms judge mental health content harder than almost anything else on the web, and they should. A page that reads as general health information with no clinician behind it gets passed over. Every psychiatry page we build names the psychiatrist who reviewed it, with the credential, uses clinical terms precisely, avoids absolutes and promised outcomes, and carries a line that reading it does not create a physician-patient relationship. The page explains what a condition is, what a visit involves and when to call, and leaves the clinical decisions to the appointment.
That discipline protects the practice, and it is also what gets the practice named. A page the model can safely stand behind has a named clinician, careful language and no overreach.
What our psychiatry SEO includes
Question pages in the psychiatrist's words
Anxiety, depression, ADHD, insomnia, burnout, medication questions. The questions patients type at night, answered in general terms from the psychiatrist's own answers and reviewed by the psychiatrist before they go live.
Condition and service pages
Medication management, evaluations, therapy where offered, telehealth. Each one says who sees the patient, how soon, and what the first visit involves.
Telehealth state pages, only where licensed
A page for each state the psychiatrist holds a license in, with the telehealth attributes set on the Google Business Profile to match.
Provider schema with the credential on the name
Board-certified psychiatrist next to the psychiatrist's name, with a bio page the models can verify, on every page that carries their words.
Your Google listing, fixed and run every week
Categories, hours, telehealth attributes, posts and review replies that never discuss a patient.
Reviews, directories and citations
Psychology Today, Healthgrades, Zocdoc and the Google listing agreeing on every detail: name, address, phone, hours. AI reads these before it names a psychiatrist.
How we write your pages from your own answers
We start with what patients actually ask: the questions on Reddit and in real patient forums about seeing a psychiatrist, starting medication, telehealth and what a first evaluation involves. We send those questions to the psychiatrist, who answers each in one sentence: how long a first evaluation takes, whether a prescription can start at the first telehealth visit, what happens when a medication stops working. The sentences become the pages, so the site sounds like the psychiatrist and the model has something specific to stand behind. We never produce the content ourselves. If the practice cannot give us the answers, we say so before you sign.
"The way we work, every month I ask my clients at least a hundred questions on their specific topics. They answer in one sentence, and that is enough. That is what makes a website personal."

Which psychiatry practices this is built for

- Practices that combine psychiatry and therapy under one roof.
The numbers you will see every month
In the first three months you watch trajectory: how often your pages appear in Google, in AI Overviews and in ChatGPT and Gemini answers, in Search Console and the tools we share with you, under your own login. After that you watch conversions by source in Google Analytics and the call count from your Google Business Profile, on a tracking number so every call from the website is counted. You get a plain monthly note on what moved and what we are doing next, and you see the same Search Console screen we do.
Questions psychiatrists ask us before signing
How do you write about anxiety or depression without giving medical advice?
Every page answers the question in general terms, avoids absolutes and promised outcomes, names the psychiatrist who reviewed it, and states that reading it does not create a physician-patient relationship. The page explains what the condition is, what a first visit involves and when to call. The clinical decisions stay in the appointment.
Do telehealth psychiatry practices rank in every state?
Only in the states where the psychiatrist is licensed, and only with a page for each. We build a state page for every license you hold, and we set the telehealth attributes on your Google Business Profile so the listing and the website say the same thing.
Can you write psychiatry content without the psychiatrist?
No, and we tell you that before you sign. Mental health content is health content, so a named clinician has to stand behind it. You answer our questions in one sentence each, and those sentences become the pages.
Who owns my website?
You do, every bit: the site, the content and the domain. If you leave, the website and everything we built goes with you to your next agency, and nothing breaks.
Is there a contract?
No long-term contract and no cancellation fee. Doctor Rank is month to month on one flat fee agreed upfront that does not go up or down, with no surprise fees.
Will you work with a competing psychiatrist in my area?
No. We take one psychiatry practice per city, so we will never build up the practice across town that you compete against.
How long until new patients book?
Google reads a real page within days, and the AI platforms follow the same signals. How soon that turns into booked appointments depends on your starting point, your market and how quickly you answer our questions, so you see the trajectory in Search Console and the call count from your listing every month.
Who will I be working with?
Artem Saribekyan, the founder. You deal with him directly from the first call, you have his cell phone number, and there is no account manager or ticket system between you and the work.
What does onboarding look like?
A first call where we look at where your practice shows up today on Google, Google Maps and ChatGPT. Then access to your Google Business Profile and Search Console, a set of questions about the services and patients you want more of, which you answer in one sentence each, and we build your pages from those answers. Each week after that you get a few more questions, and each month a plain note on what moved.
