Your Google Business Profile is live with a perfect rating. Review volume is the gap: 26 reviews vs. 100+ for top competitors.
Solid foundationYour team's credentials are real: fully licensed therapists, higher-ed degrees, accomplished authors. But AI search doesn't know you exist, and the Map Pack shows you outside the top 3 for nearly every search. The site has solid bones. The visibility layer is what's missing.
ChatGPT and Gemini named you in 0 of 8 local therapy answers. Twelve competitors were cited instead. Add FAQ schema, quotable lead sentences, and an llms.txt file so AI can find and cite you.
Unlocks AI visibilityYou rank #4 or worse in 49 of 49 grid cells for "therapy" and related terms. Review velocity, GBP posts, and category tuning will push you into the top 3 where clicks happen.
Wins local clicks55 pages have multiple H1s, 13 are missing meta descriptions, and 46 have overlong titles. Fixing these basics lifts the whole site and makes every other effort compound faster.
Strengthens the foundationAttune has what most therapy practices spend years building: a team of fully licensed clinicians with graduate degrees, published authors, and a perfect 5.0-star Google rating. The site ranks for 1,157 keywords and pulls an estimated 4,821 organic visits a month. That's a real foundation.
The problem is visibility in the two places that matter most right now. In AI search, ChatGPT and Gemini recommended 12 different Philadelphia therapy practices in our test queries. Attune was not one of them. In the Map Pack, your average rank across a 7x7 local grid is 18-31 depending on keyword, meaning you appear below the fold or not at all for most "near me" searches. The site allows all 14 AI crawlers, but it has no FAQ schema, no llms.txt, and no question-format headings, so there's nothing for AI to quote.
The good news: these are fixable gaps, not fundamental problems. A GEO layer (FAQ schema, quotable content, llms.txt) plus a focused GBP push (review velocity, weekly posts, category refinement) would move Attune from invisible to citable in 60-90 days.
215 referring domains, 468 backlinks, 4,821 monthly organic visits, and a 5.0-star GBP with 26 reviews. The site is indexed, ranking, and earning traffic.
55 pages with multiple H1s, 13 missing meta descriptions, 46 overlong titles, no FAQ schema, no llms.txt, and zero AI citations in 8 test queries.
Competitors winning AI citations have similar authority. Adding GEO signals and pushing review velocity would make Attune the most citable therapy group in Center City.
AI crawlers can read your site, but they have nothing quotable to cite. ChatGPT and Gemini recommended 12 other Philadelphia therapy practices in our test queries. Attune was mentioned zero times. The fix is structural: FAQ schema, question headings, and an llms.txt file.
We asked ChatGPT and Gemini 8 local therapy questions. Attune was not mentioned once. Center for Anxiety & Behavior Therapy, Turning Leaf Therapy, Thriveworks, The Couples Therapy Center, and 8 others were all cited ahead of you. The site has no FAQ schema, no question-format headings, and no llms.txt, so AI has nothing to quote.
GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, and 10 others can all access your site. No blocks in robots.txt.
ProfessionalService and Organization schema are deployed. Add FAQPage and LocalBusiness to complete the set.
This file tells AI engines what your site is about in a single read. Most competitors don't have one either, so adding it is a quick win.
AI pulls answers from Q&A-style content. Your H2s are statements, not questions. Rewriting them as "What is couples therapy?" etc. makes you quotable.
AI mention data: ChatGPT (0/6) and Gemini (0/2). Competitors cited: Center for Anxiety & Behavior Therapy, Turning Leaf Therapy, Thriveworks Philadelphia, The Couples Therapy Center, Philadelphia Mental Health Center, The Center for Growth, Walnut Psychotherapy Center, and 5 others.
The therapy market in Philadelphia is crowded, but most competitors winning AI citations and Map Pack spots are not dramatically stronger than Attune. They're simply more visible because they've added the signals AI and Google look for.

Source: ChatGPT and Gemini queries for Philadelphia therapy, couples therapy, anxiety therapy, and related terms (June 2026). 12 different competitors were cited across 8 answers. Attune was not mentioned in any of them.
The practices winning AI citations foreground specific conditions (anxiety, OCD, couples) and credentials (licensed, PhD, published). Attune's team has these credentials but they're buried. Surface them in schema, page titles, and quotable lead sentences.
Each competitor was cited only once. There's no runaway leader. The first practice to add FAQ schema, question headings, and an llms.txt file across service pages will start winning multiple citations per query.
The site has solid bones: 92 pages crawled, 81 returning 200 status, and schema already deployed. But a pattern of duplicate headings, missing metas, and overlong titles is dragging down the whole domain. Ordered by impact.
Source: PageSpeed Insights (June 2026). LCP, CLS, and INP all pass Core Web Vitals thresholds. The overall performance score of 47 is pulled down by render-blocking resources and unused JavaScript. Lighthouse SEO score is 92.
Your Google Business Profile is live with a perfect 5.0-star rating, but 26 reviews is thin for a competitive market. Across a 7x7 local grid, you rank in the top 3 for only 1 of 294 total keyword-location combinations. Most searches show you at position 15-35 or not at all.
Note: Your GBP visibility score is 90/100. The gap is review volume (26 vs. the 50+ threshold for full points). Primary category is "Medical Clinic," which may be limiting visibility for "therapist" and "therapy" searches. Consider adding "Psychotherapist" or "Counselor" as secondary categories.
Ask every client for a Google review via text or email after sessions. Target 10+ new reviews in the next 60 days. Velocity matters as much as total count for Map Pack rankings.
Add "Psychotherapist" or "Mental Health Service" as secondary categories. Post weekly with service highlights, team credentials, and client-facing content. Freshness is a direct ranking factor.
Each cell is a search run from that spot on the map. Green means you land in the top 3 of the Map Pack there. You hit top 3 in only 1 of 294 cells across 6 keywords.
Sequenced so the fastest wins (GEO signals, review velocity) land first, while the on-page cleanup runs in parallel.
You have the credentials, the perfect rating, and a site that's already ranking. What's missing is the visibility layer that gets you cited by AI and into the Map Pack top 3. That's exactly what REK builds.

Add FAQPage schema to each service page with 3-5 questions clients actually ask. Example for couples therapy:
Q: What is couples therapy? A: Couples therapy is a form of psychotherapy that helps partners improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen their relationship with the guidance of a licensed therapist.
Q: How long does couples therapy take? A: Most couples see meaningful progress in 8-12 sessions, though some continue longer for deeper work.
