What working together looks like

We diagnose before we prescribe

We know the common advertising challenges physical therapists face. Before recommending changes, we learn how your business works and what Google Ads needs to accomplish.

01

Understand the business

For physical therapists, we start with services, geography, capacity, frustrations, and your target audience. We make no changes before understanding what the account needs to support.

02

Inspect the evidence

We inspect campaign structure, search terms, location settings, conversion tracking, and lead feedback, including how the account treats post-surgical rehab and sports injuries.

03

Agree on priorities

For physical therapists, we choose together which opportunities deserve attention, where firmer boundaries are needed, and how qualified patient calls and appointment requests should be evaluated.

04

Manage and learn

For physical therapists, once priorities are agreed, we make and explain changes, then use search behavior, conversion data, and staff feedback to keep learning.

Qualified inquiry signals

Which appointment requests are worth pursuing?

For physical therapists, conversion counts are only a starting point. We compare recorded conversions with service fit, location, timing, capacity, and staff feedback about patient calls and appointment requests before using the data to guide account decisions.

Calls about post-surgical rehab

For physical therapists, connect post-surgical rehab calls to their campaign and review whether service, location, timing, and next step fit.

Sports injuries forms and requests

For physical therapists, separate sports injuries forms from spam, employment requests, and out-of-area work before using them to guide decisions.

Qualified-inquiry feedback

Compare tracked responses for physical therapists with staff feedback so later decisions reflect inquiry quality, not form counts alone.

Before we begin

Questions from physical therapists

For physical therapists, what happens before you recommend account changes?

For physical therapists, we learn which services matter, where the business operates, what the team can handle, and what has been frustrating. Then we inspect search terms, targeting, tracking, and feedback about patient calls and appointment requests before agreeing on priorities with you.

For physical therapists, how do you judge whether an inquiry fits?

For physical therapists, we compare search terms, conversion actions, call outcomes, form details, and feedback about patient calls and appointment requests. Account data shows activity; business context helps us decide whether that activity represents worthwhile demand before we recommend changes.

How should physical therapists set a targeting area for post-surgical rehab?

For physical therapists, we do not assume a default radius. We compare practical market boundaries, location settings, user-location reports, travel or scheduling limits, and inquiry quality before recommending where ads should run. The workable market can differ by service.
