Paid Media + CRM = PERFORMANCE

PPC for ABA Clinics:
How Google Ads Can Put Your Practice at the Top of Search Results

Show up first. Get found by families who need you. Fill your open slots.

Get Started

When families search for ABA therapy, are they finding you at the top of the search results?

Your ABA center delivers life-changing therapy. But when a parent in your area searches “ABA therapy near me” or “autism services [your city],” do they see your clinic?

If not, they’re booking consultations with competitors before they ever know you exist.​​

The visibility problem ABA clinics face:

  • You’re invisible when families search. Parents looking for ABA services in your area see other clinics’ ads at the top of Google. They see your competitor’s ads before scrolling down to find you. 
  • Your phone isn’t ringing enough. You have therapists ready to serve families, but consultation requests are slow or inconsistent. You need more families calling to book assessments​.
  • You don’t know where your leads come from. Some weeks your phone rings, other weeks it’s quiet. You have no idea what’s working or how to turn it on when you need more families​.

The Reality:

When parents search for ABA services, they’re overwhelmed, often newly diagnosed, and looking for help fast. 

If you’re not showing up at the top when families search, they’ll likely choose from the first 3-5 listed, and you’ll losing families who need exactly what you offer.

Enter PPC (pay-per-click) advertising with Google Ads and/or Microsoft Ads. 

Google Ads PPC secures your clinic’s ad spot at the very top of a Google (or Microsoft) search for  ABA therapy in your area. You only pay when someone clicks your ad to visit your website or call your clinic.​

Why Google Ads & PPC work for ABA therapy centers

PPC advertising puts you in front of families at the exact moment they’re searching for help.​

Here's what makes it powerful for ABA clinics:

  • You show up first when families search. Parents see your clinic name, phone number, and location before they see anyone else.
  • You only pay when someone clicks. Unlike traditional advertising where you pay upfront, with PPC you only pay when a parent takes clicks or calls.
  • You control your budget. You decide how much you want to spend per day or per month. Need more families? Increase your budget. Fully booked? Pause your ads.
  • You see exactly what's working, without the guesswork. You'll know how many people saw your ad, how many clicked, how many called, and how many booked consultations.
  • You can adjust in real time. If certain keywords aren't working, we change them. If one ad performs better, we shift budget to it.

Our approach to Google Ads and Microsoft Ads PPC for ABA clinics:

Target families actively searching now.

We focus your Google Ads on searches like “ABA therapy [your city],” “autism evaluation near me,” and “ABA services for toddlers, and other keywords that show families are ready to take action.

Your ad copy addresses what parents care about: experienced BCBAs, insurance accepted, convenient location, and caring approach. It follows all platform rules while making your clinic feel welcoming.

When someone clicks your ad, they land on a page designed to help them take the next step: learn about your services, see your location, check insurance, and book a consultation easily.

We measure phone calls, form submissions, and consultation bookings—not just clicks. You’ll see which ads bring in families who actually show up and enroll.

We review performance weekly and make adjustments: pause underperforming keywords, increase budget on what’s working, test new ad copy. Your campaigns get better over time.

When Google Ads PPC Makes Sense for Your ABA Clinic

You’re opening a new location.

Families don’t know you exist yet. PPC gets you found immediately while you build local awareness.

You have open therapy slots and need more consultation requests coming in consistently.

Unlike referrals (which are unpredictable) or word-of-mouth (which takes time), PPC lets you turn inquiries on or off based on your capacity.

 If other ABA providers have been in your area longer, PPC puts you right alongside them at the top of Google or Microsoft search results immediately.

PPC is perfect for clinics that need to reach families within a defined service radius (5-15 miles) and don’t want to waste budget on people too far away.

PPC gives you clear numbers: how many people saw your ad, how many clicked, how many called. You know exactly where your consultation requests are coming from.

What Our ABA Therapy Clients Have to Say

Exceptional Partnership, Execution, and Support

“Working with this team has honestly been one of the best experiences I’ve had with any operational, marketing, or systems implementation company over the years. I’ve worked with many companies across custom builds, platform implementations, workflow development, and operational scaling, and it is very rare to find a team that not only understands the technical side, but truly understands the business, the vision, and the intent behind what is being built. Their responsiveness, customer service, strategic thinking, ethics, attention to detail, and ability to translate ideas into functioning systems have been exceptional. Nothing feels templated or transactional – the work is thoughtful, intentional, and collaborative. The level of support, communication, and genuine investment in helping us succeed has been above and beyond.”

-Gluck S., United Care ABA

“When we first partnered with Optidge, our practice was already established in its core region. With their strategic support, we successfully expanded into New Jersey, Georgia, Indiana, and North Carolina. Their expertise in Paid Search, SEO, Hubspot. and Web Development has significantly enhanced our online presence, enabling us to connect with more families in need of our services. Recently, based on their recommendations, we’ve also begun incorporating Paid Social into our marketing efforts. This new initiative reflects our confidence in their ability to drive results across multiple channels. I confidently recommend Optidge to any organization seeking a reliable and skilled marketing partner. Their professionalism, expertise, and genuine focus on client success have made a meaningful difference for us, and I’m certain they will do the same for others.” – Avi Jurkanski, Heartlinks ABA

Avi Jurkanski, CEO, Heartlinks ABA

“It’s been almost 2 years since starting with Optidge, and our business has seen great growth. As a startup, we had zero online presence and now our families are finding us on search, we have content to share with our market and our social media presence is steadily building.

Their ability to collect and analyze data, take initiative and responsibility, and answer hard questions, in a collaborative organized manner has made working with them an absolute pleasure!

Chana Gross, Marketing Director, Circle Care ABA
