Be the practice people find, and the one AI assistants name.
We build and run the website, local listings, reviews and AI visibility for Catholic-owned realtors, advisors, attorneys, dentists and CPAs, with placement in the largest directory of Catholic-owned businesses in the country. Every month you see how many inquiries came in, where they came from, and whether AI assistants named you. You approve. We do the work.
- Live within 30 business days of your approval, or your onboarding fee comes back
- A monthly count of inquiries and AI mentions, not traffic charts
- You own the site, the code and the content from day one
- Built for SEC, FINRA, state real-estate and Fair Housing rules
From $1,000 a month. 6-month first term, then month to month with 30 days' notice. You own everything you pay for.
The way clients find a professional has changed. Twice.
AI is now a first stop.
45% of US consumers asked an AI assistant for a local-business recommendation in the past year, up from 6% the year before. Among households earning $150,000 or more, AI has already overtaken Google as the starting point for finding a local business (53% vs 49%). Being named in that answer is now part of being found.

Google answers before anyone clicks.
Google now shows an AI Overview on roughly 40–48% of tracked searches, and AI Mode passed one billion monthly users in July 2026. Being cited inside that answer more than doubles the clicks you get per impression; being merely ranked below it does not.

Catholic families are looking for you specifically.
Search "Catholic realtor near me", "Catholic financial advisor" or "Catholic attorney" and the results are small faith directories and individual practitioners, not Zillow or Avvo. That is a small pond you can own, and Discover Catholic Business is already in it.

What changes for your practice
Four outcomes we work toward every month. Each one is something you can see in your report.
People who look you up find the right practice.
A fast website you own, and the same name, address and specialties on Google, Bing, Apple, Yelp, Facebook and your DCB Premier listing.
You know whether AI assistants name you.
Entity setup, then a monthly check of 20 real client questions across ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, Perplexity and Copilot.
New reviews keep arriving, within your rules.
A uniform review-request system and drafted replies, approved by your compliance reviewer where required.
You see inquiries, not just traffic.
One report and one conversation a month: inquiries, where they came from, AI mentions, and the three things we did.
Plus the Discover Catholic Business network, in every plan
Premier directory listing
$525/month list price: listed first in your category and city, above every other tier, with a monthly newsletter spotlight and an annual blog post.
A profile and dofollow link from a 38,000+-page directory
Google and AI assistants already crawl DCB and cite it for "Catholic [profession]" queries. Your listing page carries LocalBusiness structured data that points at your site.
Spotlight article and Substack feature
Growth and Authority clients get a spotlight read by Catholic families who go looking for Catholic professionals on purpose.
Parish network
DCB runs 24,000 parish pages and an active parish outreach program; we mention Practice Partners clients where it is relevant and permitted.
Your first 90 days
Work we control and deliver, not promised results.
Week 6
Site live and approved; listings aligned; DCB Premier listing live; baseline AI Visibility check.
Month 2
First monthly report: inquiries, sources, AI mentions and citations.
Month 3
Second report compared with your baseline, and a plan for the next quarter.
What we do, in detail
Website you own.
Custom-designed, fast (Next.js on Vercel), mobile-first, accessible, with the state-specific disclosures your licence requires already in the footer. IDX embed for realtors where your broker allows it.
Hosting, security, maintenance.
SSL, uptime monitoring, dependency updates, backups, Core Web Vitals checks. No plugins to break.
Local search.
Google Business Profile, Bing Places, Apple Business Connect, Yelp and Facebook aligned; 40 citations built at onboarding; monthly posts and Q&A.
Reviews, done properly.
A uniform review-request system (the only kind the SEC Marketing Rule allows for advisors), drafted responses and recency tracking.
AI-search visibility.
Entity setup (schema, sameAs links to your licence, LinkedIn and DCB profile), AI crawlers allowed, and a monthly AI Visibility Report: 20 real prompts checked across ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, Perplexity and Copilot. Did they name you, did they cite you, and who did they name instead.
Content, social, one report.
Two posts a month written for your specialties (Growth), scheduled social with your approval, quarterly ad-account audits, managed ads at Authority. One monthly call, one report, one queue.
Does one extra client pay for this? Here is the honest arithmetic.
Pick your profession or enter your own numbers: what one new client is worth in the first year, how long a typical client stays, and how many of ten inquiries you usually turn into clients. The calculator shows how many new clients, and roughly how many inquiries, make Practice Partners pay for itself.
How many new clients cover the cost
Net to you, in dollars
- Year one (incl. onboarding)
- 4
- new clients to cover $27,000
- Each year after
- 4
- new clients to cover $24,000
- On lifetime value
- 4
- new clients a year, at $7,500 each over 1 year
- Inquiries that takes
- 16
- a year, about 2 a month. Your monthly report counts these.
Arithmetic only: it divides the retainer by the value you entered. It does not predict how many clients or inquiries any plan will produce.
Worked examples using published 2026 numbers (Growth plan, $24,000/yr)
| If you are a… | One new client, year one | Growth breaks even at |
|---|---|---|
| Realtor in a median market (median sale $429,100, ~2.5% side, 70/30 split) | ≈ $7,500 net | 4 closed sides a year |
| Luxury realtor ($1M average sale) | ≈ $20,000 net | 2 sides |
| Financial advisor, $750,000 household at 1% (advisors keep 97% of clients year over year, so one household is worth ~$75,000 over ten years) | $7,500/yr | 4 households on year-one revenue; 1 on lifetime value |
| Family-law attorney | ≈ $8,000 per matter | 3 matters |
| Estate-planning attorney | ≈ $3,000 per plan | 8 plans |
| Dentist (new patient ~$650/yr, $6,500 lifetime) | $650 / $6,500 | 4 patients on lifetime value |
| CPA with small-business clients (~$6,000/yr, ~$40,000 lifetime) | $6,000 | 4 clients |
| Custom builder or architect | $43,000–$50,000 per project | 1 project |

One more comparison. Advisors already spend a median of $3,800 to acquire one client (Kitces Research via Investipal, 2025). Mid-market realtors pay $2,500–$8,000 per closed deal from portal leads. Family-law firms pay $1,200–$3,500 per signed case from pay-per-click. Practice Partners is judged against those numbers every month, in writing.
Six weeks to launch. Then a steady monthly rhythm.
This is done with you, not handed to you. You make the decisions only you can make; we do the rest.
Fit call and intake (week 0)
Twenty minutes to confirm the economics work for you. Then a short intake form: licences, brokerage or firm, compliance contact, current accounts. We classify your compliance situation before we quote (SEC or state RIA, FINRA rep, state real-estate rules, bar rules), so there are no surprises.
Build and approve (weeks 1–5)
A recorded 45-minute copy interview replaces the questionnaire nobody fills out. We design and build on our template, add your state's required disclosures, and submit the whole site to your compliance reviewer once. Launch within 30 business days of receiving your content and approval, or your onboarding fee comes back.
Monthly rhythm (week 6 onward)
Week one: report and call. Weeks two and three: content, listings, reviews and technical checks, through compliance, then live. Week four: your requests and next month's plan. Every month you see inquiries, AI mentions and citations, and the three things we did.
| When | You | We |
|---|---|---|
| Weeks 0 to 1 | Fill in the intake form, sit for one recorded 45-minute interview, send your logo, photos and licences, and introduce your compliance contact. | Classify your compliance situation; take a competitor and AI-visibility baseline. |
| Weeks 2 to 6 | Review the staging site and approve it. | Build the site and disclosures, align listings, build citations, set up your DCB Premier listing (and spotlight draft on Growth and Authority), and handle the compliance submission. |
| Every month | Read the report, approve drafts, and join the call (monthly on Growth, every two weeks on Authority). | Report, content, listings, review requests and drafted replies, technical upkeep, and your request queue. |
Choose your pace. Every plan includes the DCB network, and you own everything.

What we heard from practices like yours
We read several hundred reviews and forum threads from realtors, advisors, attorneys, dentists and CPAs before designing Practice Partners. The same five complaints came up again and again.
| The complaint | What buyers said (2026) | What Practice Partners does instead |
|---|---|---|
| "I don't own my own website." | "Once you stop paying the monthly fee you lose all the work and data." (dentist, r/Dentistry, Jun 2026). FindLaw, Scorpion and most realtor platforms keep the site when you leave. | Your site is a standard Next.js codebase in your GitHub account, deployed to your Vercel project. Leave any time and keep everything. |
| "The content is the same as 10,000 other advisors." | "Paste any of their content into Copyscape and you'll see 10,000 other advisor blogs with the same content." (advisor, r/CFP, Sep 2026) | Every post is written for your practice, your city and your specialties, then routed through your compliance reviewer. Nothing syndicated. |
| "Leads on the report, none in the office." | "What's your cost per signed case in the last 90 days? Not cost per lead." (attorney, r/Lawyertalk, Sep 2026) | Your monthly report shows inquiries, cost per inquiry, and how many AI answers named you. Not traffic charts. |
| "Twelve-month contract, then they ghosted me." | "Impossible to reach anyone. Even their managers will just ghost you." (Luxury Presence review, Trustpilot, Dec 2025) | 6-month initial term, then 30 days' notice. One person answers your email: the founder. 48-hour request queue on Growth. |
| "Compliance won't let me." | Advisors on broker-dealer platforms routinely have vendor sites rejected. | We classify your compliance situation on day one and build the review gate into the schedule. We do not publish a page your reviewer has not approved. |
Built for practices where one new client is worth thousands.
Practice Partners is priced for owner-operated practices with a clear economic case. It is a good fit if you are:
A good fit
- A realtor averaging $600,000+ sales, or working a luxury or relocation niche
- A financial advisor or insurance professional serving households of $500,000+ (independent RIA, or on a broker-dealer that permits vendor websites)
- An estate-planning, family-law or personal-injury attorney
- A dentist, orthodontist or physician in private practice
- A CPA with business clients, a mortgage broker closing five or more loans a month, an architect or custom builder
Not a fit if
- You are an employee-channel advisor who cannot own a website
- You want guaranteed leads or rankings. No honest firm can promise those, and for advisors it would break the Marketing Rule
- You want "Catholic" used as an ad-targeting signal. That is a Fair Housing problem for realtors, and we will not do it for anyone
Not sure? The fit call is 20 minutes, and we will tell you plainly if a $9.99 listing is the better use of your money.

From the founder
I built Discover Catholic Business because I could not find a good way to hire Catholic-owned businesses on purpose. Today the directory has more than 44,000+ listings, a sitemap of 38,000+ pages that Google and the AI assistants crawl, 24,000 parishes, and a small but real audience of Catholic families: 43,000 listing pages opened in the last thirty days.
Practice Partners is what I would want if I were a Catholic realtor or advisor: a site I own, one accountable person, a monthly report I can read in five minutes, and a foot in the door of a community that is actively looking for professionals like me. I build the sites myself on the same stack DCB runs on. I do not promise rankings or leads, because no honest firm can. I promise the work, the ownership, and the numbers.
If the arithmetic above works for your practice, book a call. If it does not, list your practice for free and let the directory work for you anyway.
