Synapsing the Connection Between Patients and Practices

Our organization has helped Mid City TMS from their naming to their website build to their SEO for the first four years of their practice. We understand the delicate balance of marketing mental health services with both sensitivity and effectiveness. When they started, they were receiving 5-10 inquiries monthly. Now they consistently generate 64 qualified patient leads each month.

The Neural Network of Digital Marketing

Think of your online presence like a neural network—it needs the right connections, proper stimulation, and consistent optimization to function at its peak. We’ve invested thousands of hours understanding how potential TMS patients search for help online. Most don’t search for “TMS therapy” initially—they’re looking for “treatment resistant depression solutions” or “alternatives to antidepressants.” Our expertise lies in connecting these searches to your services.

A Positive Treatment Protocol for Your Marketing

We understand that marketing mental health services requires special care. Your patients need accurate information about their treatment options. Healthcare providers want evidence of your expertise. Insurance companies expect precise documentation. We create marketing strategies that address all these needs while maintaining strict compliance.

Mapping the Motor Cortex of Marketing Success

Just as TMS therapy targets specific areas of the brain for optimal results, our marketing approach focuses on key areas that drive practice growth. Each element works in concert with the others, creating a comprehensive system for practice development.

Case Study: Building a Clinic’s Brand from Scratch

In 2018, Mid City TMS came to us looking to draw patients to their clinic and establish itself as a leader in the field. Medical Director Dr. Bryan Bruno was starting his second clinic specializing in transcranial magnetic stimulation, a noninvasive technique used to treat major depressive disorder. At that time, Mid City TMS did not have a website or online presence at all, and our challenge was to give credibility and visibility to a brand new medical facility in a competitive market.

Our team designed a new website for Mid City TMS and increased traffic by targeting high-volume keywords, receiving inbound links from a variety authoritative news sites, and creating top-quality, highly technical written content for the clinic’s new blog.

Seven years later, we’re excited to be continuing this relationship.

When we launched Mid City TMS, Online Optimism became an invaluable partner, helping us grow our online presence and attract patients. Their SEO and content strategy drove measurable results, and we’re thrilled with the outcome.

Why Should Your TMS Clinic Pick Our Optimistic Digital Marketing Agency?

When it comes to TMS practice marketing, experience matters. Our team doesn’t just understand digital marketing—we understand the unique landscape of TMS therapy. With headquarters in both New Orleans and New York City, we bring big-market insights to practices of all sizes. Our organization has helped Mid City TMS from their naming to their website build to their SEO for the first four years of their practice, and we’ve replicated that success with practices across the country.

What sets us apart? We’re not just marketers who happen to work with medical practices. Our team has spent years immersed in the TMS and mental health space, understanding everything from insurance reimbursement patterns to patient decision-making journeys. We know which approaches work in different markets because we’ve tested them. We understand how to talk about mental health treatment in ways that resonate with both potential patients and referring physicians. And perhaps most importantly, we know how to do all this while maintaining strict healthcare compliance.

Branding & Site Design

Your website is often a patient’s first interaction with your practice—think of it as the initial consultation. We create medical practice websites that do more than just look professional; they guide patients through the decision-making process. From the moment someone lands on your site, they should feel the same sense of hope and professionalism they’ll experience in your office.

We focus on creating healthcare websites that:

  • Load quickly (because anxious patients won’t wait for slow pages)
  • Work perfectly on mobile devices (where 70% of mental health searches happen)
  • Make scheduling consultations intuitive
  • Present insurance and payment information clearly
  • Share educational resources effectively
  • Maintain strict HIPAA compliance

Beyond the technical aspects, we understand the visual language that builds trust in healthcare. Our designers create brands and websites that convey both clinical expertise and compassionate care—because your patients need both.

SEO

Success in TMS practice marketing requires precise targeting and consistent refinement, much like the treatment itself. Your potential patients are actively searching for solutions—they just might not know to search for “TMS” yet. That’s exactly why SEO expertise matters.

We ensure they find your practice by optimizing for the terms they actually use, not just medical terminology. Our research shows that while TMS-specific searches are growing (more people search for “transcranial magnetic stimulation” than “breast augmentation” or “rhinoplasty”), connecting with patients starts by appearing in broader depression treatment searches.

We create educational content that builds trust and understanding. From explaining the science behind TMS to sharing patient success stories (while maintaining strict HIPAA compliance), we help potential patients understand the hope your practice offers. Everything is measured, tracked, and optimized to ensure your practice appears when people are searching for help.

Google Ads: Precision Targeting for Patient Acquisition

Think of Google Ads like a precision instrument—when calibrated correctly, it delivers remarkable results. We’ve managed millions in ad spend for mental health practices, and we’ve learned exactly what works. Our TMS practice clients typically see cost-per-acquisition rates 40% below industry average because we understand both the technical aspects of Google Ads and the patient journey.

We target the full spectrum of potential patients: those actively searching for TMS therapy, individuals researching depression treatment alternatives, people seeking solutions for treatment-resistant depression, and healthcare providers looking for referral partners. Our campaigns typically deliver 30-50 qualified leads monthly, with some practices seeing even higher numbers in competitive markets.

Social Media Management: Building Trust and Community

Social media for TMS practices isn’t about trending topics or viral content—it’s about establishing trust and educating your community. We create healthcare-compliant social strategies that focus on what matters: patient education, community building, and professional networking.

Our social media teams handle content creation that educates and builds trust, engagement monitoring during business hours, HIPAA-compliant community management, professional networking with referring providers, and paid social campaigns that target qualified patients. Each post, comment, and interaction is carefully managed to maintain medical professionalism while still being engaging and approachable.

Video Production: Showing the Human Side of Treatment

Video content has become essential in healthcare marketing, particularly for treatments that need more explanation, like TMS. Our video production services help you explain TMS therapy in an approachable way, share patient success stories (with appropriate privacy measures), showcase your facility and team, create educational content for referring physicians, and develop social media-optimized video content.

We’ve found that practices using video in their marketing see 27% higher conversion rates on their websites. Video helps potential patients understand the treatment process and, more importantly, helps them envision themselves taking this step toward better mental health.

Microsoft Ads: Expanding Your Practice’s Reach

While Google dominates the search market, Microsoft Advertising offers unique advantages for medical practices. The platform typically serves an older, more affluent audience—often decision-makers in healthcare. Our data shows that TMS practices running both Google and Microsoft ads see a 15-20% increase in qualified leads compared to Google alone.

The Microsoft Ads platform also offers exclusive healthcare-specific features and often shows lower cost-per-click rates for medical terms. We leverage these advantages to expand your practice’s visibility while maintaining efficient ad spend.

Your Investment in Growth

Our TMS practice marketing programs typically range from $2,000 to $15,000 monthly, based on your goals and market. Every practice receives:

Dedicated Writers & Optimists

We become an extension of your practice, understanding your specific needs and challenges. Our Optimists are so excited to have your team of physicians and staff as our newest partners.

Data-Driven Optimizations

Regular performance updates show exactly how your marketing investment translates to practice growth. We measure success in new patients, not just clicks.
