We Audit Your Online Presence — Free
Free 20-minute strategy call. We review your Google Business Profile for condition and specialty completeness, your Map Pack ranking for "speech therapist near me" and condition-specific searches in your city, your Psychology Today profile for adult referrals, your review score compared to other SLP practices in your market, and what parents currently find when they search for pediatric speech therapy in your area. You'll have a clear picture of where new patients are going instead of to you.

"We were at 3 new patients a week — entirely pediatrician referrals. AVBOOST rebuilt our Google profile with every condition we treat, created content for the parent searches I knew were happening but never captured, and set up a review system with parents at discharge. Three months later we were at 11 new patients a week. By month 4 we opened a waitlist — which I'd actually always wanted so I could hire another SLP on my own timeline."
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost, and am I locked into a contract?
Pricing starts around a flat monthly rate with no setup fees, and you can see the tiers on our pricing page. There are no long-term contracts. You give 30 days notice to cancel, and that is the only commitment. We would rather keep your practice because the self-referred bookings are showing up than because a contract traps you into staying with us.
How long until I see more patients booking evaluations?
Most practices reach Top 3 in the Google Map Pack for speech therapy searches in roughly 43 days, and that is usually when self-referred calls start picking up. Profile and Psychology Today work goes live in the first 30 days. Review velocity and AI Overview content build steadily after that. Speed depends on your market and current presence, so timelines vary by practice.
What do you actually do for a speech therapy practice each month?
We build out your Google Business Profile with every condition you treat, articulation, stuttering, language delay, autism and AAC, aphasia, dysphagia, and voice. We optimize your Psychology Today profile, create parent-search content like late-talker milestones, deploy guardian-appropriate review requests at discharge, keep your accepting-new-patients status current, and send a monthly report on bookings and review growth.
How is AVBOOST different from a big agency or doing it myself?
Big agencies hand you a generic template and a junior account rep who has never heard of dysphagia. DIY means evenings spent fighting your Google profile instead of seeing patients. We work only with local service practices, we already know the condition-specific searches parents type, and you talk to the people doing the work, not a call center. The focus stays narrow on purpose.
Will your review and content work stay compliant for a healthcare practice?
Yes. We never collect protected health information, and review requests go to guardians at pediatric discharge and to adults at treatment completion, framed as feedback on their experience rather than clinical detail. Content speaks to parent and patient searches without making medical claims. You approve the approach before anything goes live, so it fits how your practice handles privacy and licensing.
What is the first step to get started?

You walk away knowing exactly where new patients are going instead of to you, whether or not you decide to work with us.
