About this section

The conversion moment: They've read about your primary service in Featured Service section. Now they're wondering: "What else does this therapist offer? Is there another way to work with them that might fit better?" This section shows your complete service menu quickly.

The data: Therapy websites with service overviews convert 34% more visitors because prospects self-select the right fit rather than bouncing when one service doesn't match (Therapy Website Research, 2024).

Where this goes: After Featured Service section, before Differentiation Chart or Dual Pricing Card.

What you're building: 3 cards showing services OTHER than what you featured. Each card: service name + 2-line description (100-120 characters) + "Learn More" CTA. Format: 3 equal cards displayed side-by-side or stacked on mobile.

Critical principle: Every service you show here needs a full service page. Each card = more content to create. Start with what you're already offering, not what you might offer someday.

What Counts as a "Service"?

A service is: A distinct appointment type in your practice management software (SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, etc.) with separate booking flow and/or pricing.

These ARE services (get their own cards):

  • Individual therapy
  • Couples therapy
  • Family therapy
  • Group therapy
  • Therapy intensives (extended sessions)
  • Teen therapy (if separate from adult)
  • Sex therapy (if specialty offering)
  • EMDR intensives (if separate service)
  • Premarital counseling (if separate from couples)
  • Parent coaching/consultation

These are NOT services (don't get cards):

  • EMDR (modality used within individual therapy)
  • Somatic work (approach used within services)
  • CBT/DBT (modalities)
  • "Trauma-focused therapy" (still individual therapy, just niche)
  • "LGBTQ+ affirming" (value, not service)

The test: If you book it as a separate appointment type with distinct purpose/pricing in your practice software, it's a service.

DO THIS NOW: Write Your 3 Service Cards (15 Minutes)

Step 1: Identify which services you offer (3 minutes)

List every service you currently offer (distinct appointment types in your practice management system). Don't include services you're "thinking about" offering.

Write them down.

Count how many you have total.

Step 2: Choose which 3 to show in snapshot (4 minutes)

Rule: Don't show the service you featured in Featured Service section. Show the OTHER services.

If you have 2 total services: (e.g., individual + couples)

  • Featured one already (e.g., individual)
  • Card 1: Your other service (e.g., couples)
  • Card 2: Intensives if you offer them, or "coming soon" future service
  • Card 3: Another offering or "coming soon"

If you have 3 total services: (e.g., individual + couples + groups)

  • Featured one already (e.g., individual)
  • Card 1: Second service (e.g., couples)
  • Card 2: Third service (e.g., groups)
  • Card 3: Intensives or "coming soon"

If you have 4+ services: (e.g., individual + couples + groups + intensives + teen)

  • Featured one already (e.g., individual)
  • Choose 2-3 most popular/complementary to feature
  • Prioritize services that serve different needs than featured service
  • Order by demand: most inquiries = Card 1

Selection criteria when you have 4+ services:

  • Which get the most inquiries?
  • Which complement your featured service? (featured individual → show couples + specialty)
  • Which differentiate you most? (intensives, unique offerings)

Write down your 3 cards: Card 1, Card 2, Card 3.

Step 3: Choose your section headline (1 minute)

Options:

  • "Other Ways I Can Help" (simple, clear)
  • "Additional Services" (straightforward)
  • "Also Available" (minimal)

Write it down.

Step 4: Write each card description (7 minutes)

Formula for each card:

Sentence 1: Who it's for + what it addresses (50-60 characters)

Sentence 2: Your angle/differentiation (50-60 characters)

Total: 100-120 characters (2 lines on most devices)

Pattern: [What/who] + [Your angle reinforced]

Write each card:

  • Service name (headline)
  • 2-sentence description (100-120 characters)
  • CTA: "Learn More" (standard)

Button copy options:

  • "Learn More" (most common)
  • "See If This Fits" (softer)
  • "Explore [Service Type]" (specific)

Write your 3 cards now.

Why These Work

Each example shows services OTHER than what was featured. Individual generalist featured individual, so snapshot shows couples + groups + intensives. Couples specialist featured couples, so snapshot shows individual + couples intensives + premarital. Sex therapist featured general sex therapy, so snapshot distinguishes individual vs. couples sex work. Somatic specialist shows variations within somatic approach.

Card order follows demand logic. Individual generalist shows couples first (most common second service), then groups, then intensives. Couples specialist shows individual first (many need individual work before couples), then intensives, then premarital. Sex therapist shows individual first (lower barrier than couples), then couples, then consultation. Somatic specialist prioritizes couples variation, then intensives, then professional consultation.

Character counts stay within 100-120 range. Individual therapy cards: 108-111 characters. Couples specialist: 111-120. Sex therapist: 112-120. Somatic: 110-120. All fit 2 lines on most devices without wrapping awkwardly.

Each reinforces therapist's angle from hero and featured service. Individual generalist mentions "practical strategies" (tools angle). Couples specialist mentions "tools from day one." Sex therapist emphasizes "tools that work outside bedroom." Somatic maintains "body sets pace" throughout. Angle consistency builds trust.

Descriptions clarify who each service is for. "When you need space to work on yourself first" (individual after couples context). "Whether single or partnered" (individual sex therapy). "When one partner's activation triggers the other's" (somatic couples specificity). "For therapists wanting guidance" (consultation clarity).

3 Deadly Mistakes

❌ Showing services you don't actually offer yet

Card 3: "Group Therapy - Coming Soon" when you've never run a group and have no date planned.

Why it fails: Every service needs a full service page. Adding services just to fill cards creates work you're not ready for. Prospects click "Learn More" and find incomplete page or 404 error.

✅ Fix: Only show services you currently offer with existing appointment types in practice management system. If you only have 2 services total, that's fine—show those 2 and use "Coming Soon" placeholder for Card 3 only if you're actively building that service.

❌ Descriptions too long (over 120 characters)

"Couples therapy helps partners navigate relationship challenges through evidence-based approaches tailored to your unique dynamics and communication patterns." (145 characters)

Why it fails: Wraps to 3+ lines, looks messy on mobile, gets cut off on some devices.

✅ Fix: Keep to 100-120 characters. Two sentences max. "Build safety first—so hard conversations can land. Practical strategies between sessions." (108 characters)

❌ Repeating the featured service

Featured individual therapy in Featured Service section, then show individual therapy again as Card 1 in snapshot.

Why it fails: Redundant. Wastes card space. Prospects already saw individual therapy deeply in Featured Service—they don't need it again.

✅ Fix: Snapshot shows services OTHER than featured service. Featured individual → snapshot shows couples + groups + intensives. Featured couples → snapshot shows individual + intensives + premarital.
