Be the clinic people see when they search

Most new patients start with a search on their phone. These six ideas make sure your clinic appears, looks real and says what you treat.

  1. Complete your online profile. Services, hours, photos and a booking link. Google Business Profile checklist
  2. Fix what keeps you off the map. Check verification, category and address first. Why isn’t my clinic in Google Maps?
  3. Write a page for each service. One clear page per thing you want patients for. Service pages for SEO
  4. Learn the local search basics. Know what matters before you pay anyone. Clinic SEO basics
  5. Try Google Ads for ready-to-book searches. Mind the health ad rules. Physio Google Ads
  6. List practitioners where it is allowed. Some can have their own listing. Should each practitioner have a listing?

Make the next step obvious

A patient who is ready to book should never have to guess how. These ideas remove the small hurdles between a visit to your site and a time on your schedule.

  1. Put “Book online” high on every page. Test it on a phone. Adding online booking
  2. Add the booking button to Google. Patients should not have to hunt. Booking button on your profile
  3. Use a homepage checklist. Treatments, location, booking and contact above the fold. Homepage checklist
  4. Say how you bill. Direct billing and receipts, in plain words. Direct billing on your website
  5. Give the front desk a script. Calm, consistent phone calls. Front desk scripts
  6. Stop missing calls. Cover the busy hours and call back fast. How to stop missing calls

Let patients speak for the clinic

Reviews help new patients choose, and a steady habit beats a burst. Ask honestly, follow your regulator’s rules and answer every one.

  1. Ask at the right moment. Right after a good visit, in your own words. Ask patients for Google reviews
  2. Know the rules before you ask. No rewards, no filtering. Rules for asking for reviews
  3. Reply to every review. Including the hard ones. Responding to negative reviews
  4. Show reviews on your site. Where new patients are deciding. Show Google reviews on your website
  5. Make asking routine. One owner, one process, one link. Reviews service
  6. Say thank you in public. A short post, no patient names without consent. Social toolkit for physio clinics

Keep the patients you worked to win

A patient you already know is easier to rebook than a stranger is to find. These ideas keep you in touch, kindly and with consent.

  1. Contact patients who have gone quiet. A short, kind message. Patient reactivation
  2. Send a clinic newsletter. News, team and hours. Clinic newsletter guide
  3. Get consent first. Email rules differ in Canada and the US. Consent to email patients
  4. Reduce no-shows. Reminders people can act on. Reducing patient no-shows
  5. Put your policy in writing. Show it at booking. No-show policy template
  6. Post recall reminders. Short posts about booking a check-up. Social toolkit for dental clinics

Not sure where your clinic stands? We’ll look at it the way a new patient does and send a short written report. No pitch.

Give a new name a head start

A new practitioner needs patients who know they exist and a booking path that works from day one. These ideas help both.

  1. Announce them where patients look. Google, email, social. Social toolkit for chiropractic clinics
  2. Give them a bookable page. Bio, services and a direct link. Clinic websites
  3. Set up their online booking. Visit types and hours first. Set up Jane online booking
  4. Post new openings and a waitlist. Open times in plain words. Social toolkit for massage clinics
  5. Tell existing patients. A short email introducing the practitioner. Email newsletters
  6. Consider cash-pay positioning. Know your market first. Cash-pay physio marketing

Make the new door easy to find

A new clinic starts with no history online. These ideas get the address, the profile and the booking path ready before the doors open.

  1. Give it its own online profile. One per physical location. More than one online profile?
  2. Build a page for the location. Address, map, parking, hours. Clinic websites
  3. Choose booking software early. Before opening day. Booking software for new clinics
  4. Plan the basics. Name, signage, systems. How to start a physiotherapy clinic
  5. Post the new front door. Opening date and entrance photos. Social toolkit for optometry clinics
  6. Test a local ad. Facebook can announce a new location. Do Facebook ads work for clinics?

Questions owners ask

Where should I start?

With the goal that is hurting most. If the schedule has gaps, start with “Get booked”. If nobody finds you, start with “Get found”.

How many ideas should I run at once?

Two or three. A small, steady plan you finish beats a long list you abandon.

How do I know what worked?

Count booked first visits and record where each one came from. Measuring first visits
