What They Do

Harmony Hearts is a mental health consulting and community services organization serving the Dallas and Houston metro areas. They are NOT a traditional private therapy practice. They are a connector/bridge organization that links individuals and families with vetted mental health providers, case management services, and community assistance programs.

Key positioning: "The #1 trusted resource in the Dallas and Houston Metro areas" for connecting individuals and families with vetted, top-tier mental health providers and case management services.

Founder Story

Founded by someone whose brother's journey with mental health challenges inspired them to create a bridge to the community. Personal, mission-driven origin story. This is a powerful ad angle.

Conversion Goal

Leads: Phone calls to (214) 272-8402, Contact Form 7 submissions, and Bookly appointment bookings. They also have a referral form for providers to send clients their way.

Key Insight: Dual Nature of the Business

Harmony Hearts straddles TWO distinct markets: (1) Traditional therapy/counseling seekers who want a therapist, and (2) Social services seekers who need case management, rental assistance, utility help, and crisis support. The Google Ads strategy should address BOTH audiences with separate campaigns.

They rank #1 for their brand name "harmony hearts consulting" (110 searches/mo) but have zero non-brand organic visibility. No backlinks, no domain authority. The site has:

Bottom line: Google Ads is the fastest path to leads for this client. Zero organic presence means paid search is their only immediate channel for acquiring clients. SEO should be a parallel track but will take months to show results.

05
Website Audit (Ad Landing Page Readiness)

Strengths (Can Use for Ads)

Weaknesses (Landing Page Concerns)

Landing Page Recommendation

We should build dedicated landing pages for the highest-volume services (therapy, case management, youth support) on melleka.app or as new WordPress pages. The current /services/ page is not optimized for paid traffic conversion. A focused landing page with one clear CTA (call or book) per service will dramatically improve conversion rates.

06
Google Ads Campaign Architecture

Based on the research, here is the recommended campaign structure. All campaigns will start at $5/day budget and geo-target the Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston metro areas.

Campaign 1: SEARCH | Therapy & Counseling | Dallas-Houston
Search Campaign, Manual CPC, Dallas-Fort Worth + Houston Metros

Why: Highest-intent, highest-volume keywords. People actively searching for a therapist or counselor in their area. This is the bread-and-butter campaign.

Campaign 3 (Case Management) should have additional negatives: "section 8", "government housing", "hud", "public housing" to filter out queries for government programs they cannot fulfill.

09
Landing Page Strategy

Option A: Use Existing Website Pages (Quick Launch)

Risk: The /services/ page has all 7 services listed. Too many options = lower conversion. No specific urgency or CTA tailored to the ad they clicked.

Option B: Build Dedicated Landing Pages (Recommended)

Build 3 focused landing pages on melleka.app that we fully control:

Recommendation: Launch with Option A immediately using existing pages. Build Option B landing pages in parallel during Week 1 and swap them in once ready. This gets ads live ASAP while optimizing conversion rate in the background.

10
Conversion Tracking Setup Required

Before launching, we need to verify or set up these conversion actions in the Google Ads account (1571102160):

Conversion ActionTypePriorityMethod
Phone Calls from AdsCall ExtensionPrimaryGoogle call forwarding on (214) 272-8402
Phone Calls from WebsiteWebsite CallPrimaryGoogle tag on click-to-call links
Contact Form SubmissionWebsite EventPrimaryCF7 thank-you page or AJAX success event
Bookly Appointment BookedWebsite EventPrimaryBookly confirmation page/event
Referral Form SubmissionWebsite EventSecondaryReferral form success event

The Google Ads account is completely fresh. We need to install the Google Ads tag (gtag.js) on the website, set up conversion actions, and verify they fire before launching campaigns. The Bookly plugin may need custom event tracking.

11
Questions to Confirm with Client Before Launch
  1. Insurance: Do they accept insurance? If yes, which plans? (Huge keyword opportunity: "therapist that accepts [insurance name]")
  2. Free Consultation: Do they offer a free initial consultation or assessment? (Used in ad copy)
  3. Sliding Scale: Do they offer sliding scale pricing? (Important for case management audience)
  4. Telehealth/Virtual: Do they offer virtual therapy sessions? (Expands targeting beyond immediate metro area)
  5. Eligibility Criteria: For the case management/assistance services, who qualifies? Income thresholds? (Need this for ad copy accuracy)
  6. Certifications/Licenses: What credentials do their providers hold? (LPC, LCSW, LMFT, etc. These are trust signals)
  7. Service Area: Do they ONLY serve Dallas and Houston metros, or do they accept clients from other TX cities?
  8. Domain Confusion: Their domain is harmonyheartsconsulting.com but their email is @harmonyheartscounseling.com. Which is the official brand name?
  9. Ad Budget: What is their monthly ad spend budget? (Determines which campaigns to prioritize)
  10. Google Tag Access: Do we have WordPress admin access to install conversion tracking?
  11. Call Tracking: Are they comfortable with Google call forwarding numbers replacing their direct number in ads?
  12. Medicaid/CHIP: Do they accept Medicaid or CHIP for youth services? (Critical for the Case Management audience)

Launch Readiness Summary

Ready Now: Campaign structure, keywords, ad copy, negative keywords, geo-targeting, bid strategy all defined.
