What's assessed

Six places clinics quietly lose new clients

01

First impression

Does your homepage tell an anxious first-time client they're in the right place within five seconds?

02

Booking journey

Every click from "I need help" to a confirmed appointment, tested on mobile and desktop.

03

Search and maps

Google Business Profile, local rankings, reviews, and the searches you should be showing up for.

04

Trust signals

Practitioner bios, fees, rebates, Medicare and NDIS information, and accessibility.

05

Referral pathways

How GPs, specialists and past clients refer to you, and how easy you make it for them.

06

Social media and content

Whether your social channels and content build trust, stay within AHPRA's rules, and bring people back to book.

Your assessor

Senior judgement, applied to your practice

I've spent 25 years building digital products, and the last several focused on mental health and wellbeing services. I know how a nervous first-time client reads a clinic website, because I've designed for exactly that person.

Every assessment is carried out by me personally, from intake to treatment plan.

Capabilities: digital strategy, websites and booking systems, SEO and local search, content and copywriting, email and CRM, marketing collateral, and AI-enhanced workflows.

Also on offer: AI for your practice

Curious how AI could help your practice run more efficiently?

Many clinic owners are curious about AI but find it daunting, so they never start. I've helped other businesses in exactly that position: starting small, with practical tools that give the team hours back each week.

Everything is set up with client privacy in mind, and in plain English.

“Paul took my therapeutic work and turned it into a complete online programme: the brand, the website, the course platform and the launch plan. He understood how sensitive this work is and never lost sight of the person on the other side of the screen.”

Questions clinic owners ask

How much of my time does it take?+

About 30 minutes for the intake call. The Full Audit adds a 60-minute review session. Everything else is on me.

Will the recommendations fit AHPRA's advertising rules?+

Yes. Every recommendation is written with AHPRA's guidelines for advertising regulated health services in mind.

Do I have to hire you to make the changes?+

No. The formulation and treatment plan are yours to keep, and your team or any developer can action them. If you'd like me to do it, the audit fee is credited.

Do you work with clinics outside Sydney?+

Yes. The audit is delivered online, so location doesn't matter.
