One page, by design
SimplePractice's help center: "The Professional Website is one page." You cannot add pages or tabs. That means no specialty pages, no location pages, and nothing for Google or AI tools to match to specific searches.
When the SimplePractice website is not enough
If you use SimplePractice, you already have a free Professional Website. It is a good start: clean, connected to booking, no extra bill. But SimplePractice itself says it is one page, and one page cannot rank for "anxiety therapist", "couples counseling", and "EMDR" in your city at the same time.

Where growing practices hit limits
No real blog
You cannot embed links, so you cannot link a blog. Their workaround is pasting a blog address as plain text for visitors to copy.
Two SEO settings
You can edit the page title and description. That is the whole SEO toolkit: no structured data controls, no page structure, no content strategy.

Questions about leaving SimplePractice Professional Website
Do I have to stop using SimplePractice?
No. Most of our practices run on an EHR like SimplePractice. We only replace the website, and we link your booking and portal from every page.
Is the free SimplePractice website bad for SEO?
It is not bad, it is small. One page can rank for your practice name and maybe one broad search. Practices that grow from search usually have a page for every specialty and area they serve.
What does switching cost?
$995 a month, everything included, month to month. No setup fee. The site, the SEO, the content, and the reporting are all in it.
