How we work

One team across strategy, delivery and compliance

Understand your practice

We start with an audit of your website, visibility, competitors and goals, so the plan fits your practice.

Build the right plan

We choose the channels that will actually move your bookings, and set up tracking before anything launches.

Run it compliantly

Every ad, page and post is checked against the advertising rules, then measured and improved each month.

Why physiotherapy marketing is different

Most physio clients find you in one of two ways: a referral from a GP, specialist, coach or insurer, or a quick search when something starts to hurt. Both need looking after. Referrers want to know what you treat and that their patients will be well cared for, and direct clients want to see you’re close by, available soon and easy to book.

We help physio clinics win on both fronts. Strong local search and Google Ads bring in new clients, clear service pages explain what you treat without overpromising, and recall campaigns help clients finish their treatment plans. And because physiotherapists are AHPRA registered, everything is checked against the advertising guidelines.

Patient journey

How people choose a physiotherapist

People usually look for a physio when something hurts or after a referral.

  1. Step 01

    Something hurts

    An injury, ongoing pain or a referral sends them looking for a physio.

    Our part

    We make sure your clinic appears for local searches when people need help.

  2. Step 02

    They search for the problem

    They search for the body part or injury more than for the word physio.

    Our part

    We build pages for common conditions and treatments, linked to your local presence.

  3. Step 03

    They check access and funding

    Distance, how soon they can be seen and health fund, workers compensation or NDIS options.

    Our part

    We keep availability, locations and funding information accurate and easy to find.

  4. Step 04

    They choose who to see

    They look at who they will see and what the first appointment involves.

    Our part

    We add practitioner profiles and a clear first-visit guide.

Clear information about conditions, funding and the first visit gets people from searching to booking.

Priorities

Where we focus first for physiotherapy clinics

  1. 01

    Condition and service pages

    Pages for the conditions and services you want more of, such as back pain, sports injuries, post-surgical rehab or pelvic health.

  2. 02

    Funding clarity

    Simple information on health fund rebates, workers compensation, DVA, NDIS and referral options.

  3. 03

    Referrer relationships

    Regular, useful communication with GPs, surgeons and coaches who refer.

  4. 04

    Local visibility and reviews

    A strong Google profile and a steady, compliant review process.

We keep claims about recovery measured and never promise a cure or fast results.

How we start

What the first 90 days look like

  1. 1
    Weeks 1 to 2

    Audit

    We review your Google profile, website, referral sources and how nearby clinics present themselves.

  2. 2
    Weeks 3 to 4

    Fix the basics

    We correct listings and make booking and funding information clear.

  3. 3
    Weeks 5 to 8

    Build visibility

    We publish condition and service pages and start a referrer communication plan.

  4. 4
    Weeks 9 to 12

    Review and extend

    We review calls, bookings and referrals, then decide what to scale.

Physio marketing is steady work, so after the first quarter we keep content and referrer contact regular.

Compliance

Advertising rules for physiotherapists

The rules that apply

Outcome claims, testimonials and offers like free assessments are the common traps for physio clinics. Our audit checks your website, profiles and ads against the guidelines.

The National Law advertising rules
Advertising can't be false or misleading, use testimonials, create unreasonable expectations of benefit, offer gifts or discounts without clear terms, or encourage unnecessary use of services.
Evidence for claims
Words like fix, cure, permanent or pain-free risk misleading claims. Treatments such as dry needling should be described without overstating evidence.
Offers
Free assessments and discounts are allowed with clear terms, but not with pressure or hidden conditions.
Titles
Physiotherapist is a protected title, and terms like sports or specialist physio need care.
Products and devices
Supports, braces and devices you sell can be medical devices under the TGA rules.

Mistakes we often see on physiotherapy websites

These are common and avoidable. Clear, measured wording is easier to defend and still persuasive.

  1. Cure and speed claims

    Promises of fast relief or of fixing pain outright can create unrealistic expectations.

  2. Review text with outcomes

    Patient comments about recovery shouldn’t be republished.

  3. Unclear offer wording

    Offers like a free assessment are allowed with clear terms, but pressure and unclear conditions are not.

  4. Overstated specialities

    Titles such as sports physiotherapist need care unless there is a recognised specialist title behind them.

FAQ

FAQs about physiotherapy clinic marketing
