The strategy

One system. Three channels. Sequenced for maximum return.

Each channel serves a distinct function and timeline. Together they compound — reducing your blended cost-per-acquired patient while building visibility no single channel can deliver alone.

Channel 01 · Weeks 1–4

Google Ads

High-intent patients searching for a chiropractor right now. Campaigns live within days. Fastest path to measurable call volume while organic channels build in parallel.

Channel 02 · Months 1–6

Local SEO

Map pack rankings, Google Business Profile authority, citation consistency. Compounds over time and progressively reduces dependence on paid spend.

Channel 03 · Months 2–12

AI Search Optimization

Visibility inside ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, and Perplexity. Most practices have no presence here yet — early movers hold a compounding advantage.

The economics

The right way to evaluate patient acquisition cost.

Most practices calculate ROI against a single visit. That’s the wrong unit of measurement.

A new chiropractic patient who completes a treatment plan, transitions to maintenance care, and refers one or two people is worth multiples of their first appointment. A new patient is a recurring revenue relationship with referral potential. Measuring acquisition cost against that full value changes the investment calculus entirely.

Patient lifetime value modelIllustrative
Value componentConservativeModerate
Initial treatment plan$600$1,200
Maintenance visits (annual)$400$800
3-year practice value$1,800$4,200
Referred patients (avg. 1.3×)$2,340$5,460
Total practice value per acquired patient$4,140$9,660

Illustrative figures. Your practice assessment includes an LTV model specific to your market, service mix, and patient retention history.

The channels

Channel 01/ Google Ads

Campaign setup, ongoing optimization, and clear performance tracking.

Chiropractic campaigns require specific architecture — keyword intent layered by condition, negative keyword lists to eliminate non-patient spend, and landing pages matched to search intent. Our AI tools optimize bids 24/7. A human reviews strategy and makes structural changes weekly.

  • Campaign structure by service line — back pain, auto injury, sports, pediatric — not one broad campaign
  • Call tracking and appointment attribution — you know which ads produce patients, not just clicks
  • Live dashboard + monthly written summary — cost-per-lead benchmarked against your market, in plain English

Channel 02/ Local SEO

On-page optimization, rankings, and action-item tracking.

Map pack visibility is the highest-value real estate in local chiropractic search — no per-click cost once established. We run technical audits monthly, track keyword rankings daily, and build citation authority across 100+ directories. You’ll always know where you stand — and exactly what we’re doing about it.

  • Google Business Profile management — the single highest-impact local ranking factor, requiring ongoing precision
  • Citation audit across 100+ directories — inconsistency actively suppresses rankings and must be systematically corrected
  • Healthcare schema markup and on-page SEO — technical signals that establish clinical authority with Google’s local algorithm

Who we work with

This engagement is structured for:

Right fit

  • Established practices (1+ years) building a direct patient acquisition channel independent of referrals or insurance volume
  • Practices in competitive markets where ranking requires systematic, sustained work — not a one-time configuration
  • Multi-location groups needing consistent local presence and unified reporting across markets
  • Owners who want outcome reporting — new patients, cost-per-acquisition, ranking movement — not activity reports

Not the right fit

  • Practices expecting meaningful organic SEO results before month 3 — the buildout timeline is not negotiable
  • Websites that are not functional or conversion-ready — flagged in the assessment before any campaign launches
  • Engagements where the practice cannot commit to a 6-month minimum horizon for organic channels to perform

Questions

Chiropractic practice questions

Didn’t find your answer? Ask Preston

Do you specialize in chiropractic marketing?

We work with chiropractic practices as one of our verticals. We understand the patient-acquisition funnel, insurance vs. cash considerations, and the specific channels that generate new-patient calls versus wasted spend for chiros.

How is this different from generic small-business marketing?

Chiropractic search intent, Google Business Profile requirements, review-management for healthcare, HIPAA-aware form handling, and local map-pack optimization are all vertical-specific. Generic agencies get most of these wrong; we build the campaign structure around what we know works for practices.

How quickly will I see new patients from your work?

Google Ads can start generating calls within the first week of campaign launch. Local SEO typically shows measurable ranking movement in 60–90 days and steady new-patient flow by month 4–6. AI search visibility (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews) typically shows traction within 2–3 months.

What plans do you recommend for a chiropractic practice?

Most single-location practices do well on Growth ($449/mo) plus Google Ads Management ($199/mo). Multi-location or high-volume practices typically prefer the Partner retainer ($999/mo) or the Fractional Marketing Expert plan ($2,000/mo). Use the custom plan builder to model your specific mix.

Do you handle HIPAA-related concerns?

We do not process protected health information through our forms or dashboard. Our tracking is limited to marketing performance data (calls, form submissions, ad spend, rankings). If your practice needs full BAA-covered patient communication tooling, we'll advise on the right specialized vendor.
