About LifeStance Health Inc.

Georgia Behavioral Health Professionals, part of LifeStance Health, is one of Georgia’s leading behavioral healthcare networks. Their team includes psychiatrists, addiction specialists, psychologists, and therapists who offer accessible care across multiple locations. As LifeStance expanded, the Georgia division became the pilot for a scalable marketing model that could be used nationwide.

They needed fast patient growth while keeping acquisition costs low. I created a data‑driven paid media and conversion strategy that increased new patient volume and set the foundation for a repeatable system across all LifeStance-owned practices.

The challenge

Georgia Behavioral Health Professionals needed fast patient growth while keeping lead costs under $25. With more than ten Atlanta offices, they wanted a model that could scale across the LifeStance network.

Early PPC campaigns showed some traction but struggled with budget use, keyword alignment, and landing page design. Location‑based targeting brought traffic but didn’t always convert into appointments, since scheduling depended on provider availability.

They also needed stronger lead quality. Services such as TMS required more precise targeting to reach people searching for those treatments.

I built a hybrid system combining geo targeting, service targeting, scalable landing pages, and ongoing optimization. This produced a cost‑efficient setup that tripled patient volume while staying within budget.

Esteemed digital marketing solutions

I built a scalable, multi‑phase PPC system using both geographic and service‑specific targeting. Appointment‑focused landing pages were created with simple navigation, clear service details, and provider bios to lift conversions. Google My Business integration supported strong local visibility, and targeted campaigns for specialty services such as TMS captured niche demand. Campaigns were grouped by service to keep budgets organized and support steady expansion.

Key steps included

  • A custom website that projected a modern industry image
  • Optimized plugin usage that improved load speed and stability
  • Managed hosting that delivered 100 percent uptime with strong performance
