AI SDR & Lead Conversion Solutions for Counseling Practices

{"faqs":[{"answer":"You don't do the selling — our AI SDR and voice agents do. They answer, qualify, and book the moment an inquiry arrives, in under 60 seconds, 24/7. When a conversation needs a human touch, the call is handed to you or your staff with full context, using your calendar and your rules. It feels like responsive care, not a sales pitch.","question":"How can I convert more therapy inquiries into clients without feeling 'salesy'?"},{"answer":"Our AI systems respond the moment interest arrives — nights, weekends, and while you're with clients. Every inquiry is qualified in under 60 seconds, so someone who reaches out at 9 PM isn't left waiting until morning, when they may never reach out again.","question":"What happens to inquiries that come in after hours or while I'm in session?"},{"answer":"Yes. Pipeline recovery — database reactivation — turns the contacts already in your CRM back into booked calls. It works with your existing CRM, so there's no platform switch, and you only pay for the conversations that come back.","question":"Can Worqd recover the old leads already in our practice CRM?"},{"answer":"We start by finding the bottleneck in your buyer, offer, channels, response process, and data. Once the plan is built, paid campaigns and outreach can start producing inquiries within days of launch — though SEO compounds over months. From there we learn, improve, and scale what works.","question":"How quickly could we see results if we start working together?"},{"answer":"A receptionist can't answer at 2 AM, and software alone doesn't manage your follow-up. Worqd is a retainer-style growth partner that runs the whole path — ads, creative, and instant AI follow-up — under one plan and one report, at 70-lower cost per qualified conversation than a traditional SDR team. No vanity metrics, and pricing is scoped around the results that matter to you.","question":"How is this different from hiring a receptionist or using practice management software?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Find the bottleneck","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"On a free growth call, we look at your buyer, offer, channels, response process, and data to find where growth is stuck before touching anything."},{"step":"2","title":"Build and launch the plan","gradient":"from-yellow-500 to-orange-500","description":"We set the priority channels and lead-handling path, then launch quickly — campaigns, creative, and AI response can start producing inquiries within days."},{"step":"3","title":"Learn, improve, and scale","gradient":"from-green-500 to-emerald-500","description":"We watch lead quality and outcomes, test what matters, drop what doesn't, then widen winning channels and recover missed demand — without adding busywork."}],"ctaText":"Book a free Growth Call — see how faster follow-up and better creative bring you more clients.","eyebrow":"AI SDR for Counselors","benefits":[{"icon":"Zap","title":"Instant follow-up without hiring front-desk staff","gradient":"from-emerald-500 to-teal-500","description":"Our AI SDR and voice agents answer, qualify, and book the moment interest arrives — in under 60 seconds, 24/7, including after-hours and weekends. When a caller reaches out at 9 PM or while you're in session, someone responds. Calls can be handed to your intake coordinator with full context, and everything runs on your calendar and your rules — no front-desk hire needed. That protects your acquisition cost, which runs 30-60% higher than practice managers initially estimate once staff time is included.","proof_point":"Inquiries qualified in under 60 seconds, 24/7 — PAC often runs 30-60% above ad spend estimates when staff time is included"},{"icon":"Target","title":"More conversions from the leads you already get","gradient":"from-emerald-500 to-teal-500","description":"Most therapy practices convert only 10-15% of inquiries while the service-industry standard is 20%. Fast, managed follow-up closes that gap so your ad spend works harder — insurance-based practices converting 30-60% of Google Ads leads and cash pay practices converting 15-20% both do better when no inquiry waits. A converter must spend roughly twice as much to match a 20% converter; managed follow-up is how you get there without doubling the budget.","proof_point":"Close the gap from 10-15% inquiry-to-client conversion to the 20% service-industry standard"},{"icon":"Users","title":"Recover the demand you already paid for","gradient":"from-emerald-500 to-teal-500","description":"Pipeline recovery reactivates the contacts already in your CRM — former inquiries who never booked, waitlist names, past clients due for a check-in — with no new ad spend. It works with your existing CRM, so there's nothing to switch, and you only pay for the conversations that come back. For a practice paying $80-$120 per new lead, reactivating demand you already paid for is the cheapest growth available.","proof_point":"You only pay for the conversations that come back from your existing CRM — no new ad spend, no platform switch"}],"features":[],"headline":"Stop Losing Clients Who Already Reached Out for Help","problems":[{"icon":"PhoneMissed","stat":"86-","color":"from-red-500 to-pink-500","title":"After-hours and in-session inquiries go unanswered — and 86-of people who reach out for therapy never receive help","description":"When someone struggling reaches out at 9 PM, on a weekend, or while you're in a session, the call goes to voicemail and the email sits until morning. Vulnerable callers often don't try again — 86-of people who reach out for therapy never receive help.

A practice getting 40-50 monthly inquiries may land just 5-7 new clients. That's below the 20% standard across service industries — and a converter has to spend roughly twice as much on marketing to grow as fast as a 20% converter.

A cash pay practice needs roughly 5 leads at $80-$120 each to win one new client — before counting staff time. Add a no-show rate of 18-22% (behavioral health has the highest of any medical specialty, roughly double primary care), and your real CAC climbs even higher."}],"quickWins":["Stop losing the 9 PM caller: our AI voice agents answer, qualify, and book in under 60 seconds, 24/7 — including after-hours and weekends — using your calendar and your intake rules.","Reactivate your waitlist and old inquiries: pipeline recovery turns contacts already in your CRM back into booked calls, and you only pay for the conversations that come back."],"subheadline":"Worqd answers, qualifies, and books every counseling inquiry in under 60 seconds — day, night, and weekends — so more people start care and fewer leads slip away.","problemTitle":"The Hidden Costs Killing Counseling Practice Growth","testimonials":[{"quote":"One plan, one report.
