Who it is for: physical therapy, rehabilitation and specialist practices

Practices whose patients start on Google: usually on a phone, often in pain, and nearly always looking for someone nearby.

Physical therapy marketing has a particular shape. Patients search for what hurts or for the treatment their surgeon mentioned, plus the name of their town. They compare two or three practices, check the location and book with the one that makes it easiest. Everything we do for a practice is built around that journey.

In South Carolina our healthcare work comes from two Charleston-area practices, each with four locations: Rehab Carolina, a physical therapy and rehabilitation practice with a 30-year reputation, and Charleston Hand Therapy Center, an upper-extremity specialist. Our healthcare and wellbeing clients also include Spectrum Works and Wellness Transformations by Hypnotic Ray.

A good fit if you are

  • A physical therapy or rehabilitation practice
  • A specialist clinic, such as hand therapy
  • A practice with more than one location
  • Running an outdated website that is hard to use on a phone

What we do: websites, location pages, condition content, booking and local SEO

The same building blocks worked for both Charleston-area practices. We combine our web design and SEO services, and add ongoing care when you want it.

  • A website patients can use on a phone

    Mobile-first, fast and easy to navigate, so a patient in pain can find what they need in a few taps. Both Charleston-area practices replaced an outdated site.

  • A page for every location

    Each clinic gets its own page with its address and services, so a search in West Ashley or Summerville can land on the right one.

  • Condition and treatment content

    Plain-language pages for the conditions you treat, from knee rehab and vertigo to carpal tunnel and trigger finger, written to rank and to answer questions before a patient calls.

  • Online booking and forms

    Online scheduling and intake forms on every page, plus tools such as bill pay and insurance verification when the practice offers them.

  • Local SEO and Google Business Profiles

    Location schema, consistent practice details and an optimized Google Business Profile for each clinic, so you show up in local results and on the map.

  • Care after launch

    Updates, security monitoring, backups and speed handled by our WordPress management service, so a broken booking form never costs you a week of appointments.

Questions about healthcare marketing

What does healthcare marketing include?

For a practice, healthcare marketing means helping patients find you, trust you and book. In practice that is a fast, mobile-first website, a page for each location and condition you treat, online booking and forms, local SEO with Google Business Profiles, and ongoing care so it all keeps working.

How do you handle a practice with several locations?

Each location gets its own page and its own optimized Google Business Profile, with the same name, address and services everywhere, plus location schema. Both Charleston-area practices we work with have four locations, and both were built this way.

How long does local SEO take to show results?

Usually months rather than weeks, depending on how competitive your area and specialty are. As a reference point, Charleston Hand Therapy Center reached the top three on Google for “hand therapy Charleston” within four months, and Rehab Carolina’s organic traffic rose 185% within six months.

Do you write the condition and treatment pages?

Yes. We created condition and treatment content for both Charleston-area practices, from shoulder and knee rehab to carpal tunnel and trigger finger. Medical accuracy is your clinicians’ call, so they should review each page before it goes live.

Can you improve the website we already have?

Yes. Sometimes a focused fix is enough: better location pages, clearer booking, faster load times. When the site is holding the practice back, as it was for Rehab Carolina and Charleston Hand Therapy Center, we rebuild it.
