A quick follow-up on Psynio, the new name we flagged previously. In this week's search it was still ranking strongly -- it held its spot in the top 30 and was the single biggest riser over the prior month. At the time, it was a real and growing presence in results for therapist names.
The catch: we're writing this weeks later, and as of now the Psynio site returns a server error. Back when this data was collected, it appears to have been up and running, which fits how strongly it was showing. So something changed in between. We don't know what -- the later weeks' data should tell us more.
Otherwise, a broad up-week: most of the top domains gained at once, which usually means the search engine reshuffled the page, not that any one site did something. Facebook is the standout -- after weeks of sliding, it jumped back up.
This is a back-published edition, written during our catch-up after a pause this spring. The searches ran the whole time, so the data's intact -- and AI is helping with the writing.

LinkedIn and Psychology Today are steady at the top. Underneath, almost everything rose this week, so the order didn't change much -- the whole field just shifted up together. Psynio sat right in the middle of the pack, holding its spot despite the trouble with its actual website.

Lots of green here, which fits the broad up-week. The biggest single jump was Facebook bouncing back, and over the prior month Psynio was the largest gainer. None of the rest looked like a brand-new directory appearing out of nowhere -- mostly familiar names recovering at the same time.

No movement up top. Psychology Today holds the #1 spot for therapist searches by the usual wide margin, with LinkedIn covering much of the middle of the first page.
That's it for this week -- Psynio is still the name to watch, holding strong in the rankings even after its site started acting up.
