When it comes to online marketing efficiencies, small practices need to make every opportunity count. Every interaction with prospects and patients is deeply personal, understanding the “Voice of the Customer” (VoC) is paramount. VoC is a term that refers to the in-depth process of capturing customers’ expectations, preferences, and aversions.

For physical therapy private practices, this means tuning into the rich tapestry of patient feedback, reviews, and testimonials to glean actionable insights. When applied to the copywriting (Note: copywriting is the process of writing words that get the reader to take action) on your website’s home page, VoC isn’t just about listening—it’s about engaging in a meaningful conversation.

VoC Analytics and Results Should Be Applied To Your Physical Therapy Home Page At Minimum

Your home page is often the first point of contact between your practice and potential clients. By embedding the authentic voices and experiences of your patients into your physical therapy home page copy, you create an immediate connection and build trust. It’s about transforming your physical therapy website into a dynamic platform that resonates with the needs, concerns, and success stories of your patients, setting the stage for a relationship centered on empathy and understanding.

At E-REHAB.com, we specialize in transforming these insights into compelling website content that speaks directly to the hearts of potential clients.

Here’s how you can leverage real patient reviews to enhance your website’s effectiveness, drawing from our structured approach to analyze feedback for enriched copywriting.

Step 1: Dive Into Your Patient Reviews

Start by gathering a rich collection of online reviews from various platforms. The diversity and volume of these reviews are the bedrock of authentic and engaging website content. Remember, every patient review is a story waiting to be told—a narrative that can connect with prospective clients on a personal level.

PRO TIP: if you don’t have many reviews, you should be using our marketing support services, and you can analyze your competitors’ reviews.

Step 2: Extracting Insights with Precision

Utilize cutting-edge text analysis tools or meticulous manual methods to sift through the feedback. Our goal is to distill the essence of patient experiences into categories that align with your potential patients’ most pressing inquiries such as:

The Trigger for Seeking Physical Therapy: Highlight narratives about the journey from pain or immobility to seeking professional help. These stories resonate deeply, reflecting a shared human experience.

The Relief and Transformation: Emphasize how your services have brought about profound changes in quality of life, underscoring your commitment to patient care and recovery.

Choosing You Over Alternatives: Illustrate why patients chose your practice over others, showcasing your unique strengths and empathetic approach.

Overcoming Initial Hesitations: Address common apprehensions and concerns head-on, demonstrating understanding and providing reassurance.

Step 3: Crafting the Narrative

With the insights in hand, it’s time to weave them into your website’s copy. Use authentic patient language to create a genuine connection with site visitors. Incorporate the following into your home page story:

Emotive Testimonials: Real stories that strike a chord, making prospective clients feel understood and hopeful.

Relatable Concerns and Resolutions: Directly address common fears or misconceptions, presenting your practice as the solution.

Clear, Compelling Calls to Action: Guide site visitors towards taking the next step, whether it’s booking a consultation or learning more about your services.

Step 4: Visual and Quantitative Enhancement

Bringing your new home page copy to life with with visual elements like graphs, charts, and the appropriate pictures and images, is the final step. Backing up your new home page story with solid statistics will build additional trust and credibility.

Crafting the Voice that Speaks Volumes

We believe that your website should be a mirror reflecting the real experiences and voices of your patients. Our personalized approach to writing your home page copy ensures that every word on your site not only helps tell your story but also echoes the voices of those you’ve helped heal and grow.

We can help harness the power of patient feedback to create a website that not only informs but also inspires and connects. Because when your website speaks the language of trust, caring, and transformation, it doesn’t just attract clients—it helps build a community.

For most physical therapy private practices, and in fact, most healthcare businesses in general, new evaluations are the practice’s lifeblood. Indeed, you’ve probably heard the saying, “There are only three ways to increase revenue – more new patients, more visits per patient, and getting paid more each visit.” 

Marketers know this and pledge to contribute to a practice’s growth, often using statistics or impressive numbers to substantiate their claims. As the saying goes, “Numbers don’t lie.” But what if some marketers are misusing numbers to paint a rosier picture than reality presents?

Let’s use an imaginary physical therapy digital marketing agency, Acme Marketing, as a case study to understand how marketing outcomes can be skewed to encourage trusting PT business owners to pay for services that don’t generate the promised returns. 

Understanding Correlation vs. Causation 

Acme Marketing enjoys attributing any business success to its services, irrespective of whether it contributed to that success.

They state: “Within six months of implementing our marketing program, ABC PT doubled their new patient acquisitions.”

This statement might have you believe Acme Marketing is exceptional. But what if ABC PT expanded into a new location that attracted high foot traffic and lacked competition?

The assertion of causation based on correlation (X resulted in Y) should invite skepticism and a deeper inquiry into other potential contributing factors.

A correlation can signal four scenarios:

1. X caused Y
2. Y caused X
3. A completely unrelated factor, Z, led to X or Y (like opening a new clinic, in our example)
4. No causal relationship exists

Deciphering Data Visualizations: A Double-Edged Sword 

Data visualizations aim to simplify complex data. However, they can distort information just as efficiently. Let’s explore a couple of ways this could happen.

The Truncated Y-Axis

One common manipulation method is truncating the Y-axis in a graph or chart. The brain expects the Y axis to start at 0 and end at the highest number. Let’s see what happens when this expectation is violated. Suppose your practice spends $500/month on marketing, and

Acme Marketing proposes a program that costs $2000/month plus the existing ad expenditure.

At first glance, the growth seems remarkable. But note the truncated Y axis, starting at 4.70%, which amplifies minuscule increases to appear more significant. Also, note the tiny range (increasing in 0.10% intervals) on the Y-axis.

Let’s Look at the Data with a Change to the Y-Axis and 1% Point Intervals

How likely will you now spend an extra $2000/month on this program?  The answer is that it depends on the true number of new patients represented by a 0.10% percent in patient volume each month.  Is 0.10% growth equal to 3 additional new patients per month or 30?

The Case of Missing Data

Marketers might manipulate data by omitting unfavorable details. Acme Marketing, for instance, might exclude information that contradicts the narrative they want to promote.

The chart initially presents Acme as a no-brainer solution until you discover what they didn’t include: the cost of the new program and its implementation.

To get a fair comparison, we need to consider these numbers:

• Current marketing cost = $400/mo. or $4,800 per year.
• Acme plan costs $1500/mo + ad spend of $1500/mo = $3000/mo.
• Acme plan also requires a $5000 investment over the first three months to build out the sales funnel.
• The annual cost per new patient before Acme plan = $4800/131 new patients = $36.64/per new patient
• Annual cost per new patient after Acme plan = $41,000/180 new patients = $227.78/per new patient

Once you factor in these costs, the new patient acquisition costs with Acme turn out to be 522% more than the marketing investment before the implementation of Acme’s marketing program. 

At that cost of acquisition (i.e. $227.78/new patient), it eats up all of your profit from each new patient acquired, and it’s highly likely that this marketing program is operating at a loss.

The decision now seems clear.

Acme Marketing Company Promotes Outlier Case Studies

Here’s a typical example: If 99% of companies saw less than 15% growth in new patients with Acme’s plan, but one company experienced a doubling of new patients, the latter would become the case study, skewing the perception of potential success.

Case studies should represent a typical scenario, but a common practice by some deceptive marketers is to select outliers that skew results positively. 

Note, that Polly PT has only been in business for 6 months.  How many new patients was she seeing each month for the first six months?  Context matters.

Unraveling the ‘Average’ Mystery

From school, we know the term “average” might be misinterpreted to represent the mean, median, or mode. But when marketing data only includes the mean, the overall picture can be distorted.

Let’s review how to calculate the average, median, and mode

The Average is the arithmetic mean and is calculated by adding a group of numbers and then dividing by the count of those numbers. 

The Median – Arrange the data points from smallest to largest. If the number of data points is odd, the median is the middle data point in the list. If the number of data points is even, the median is the average of the two middle data points in the list.

The Mode is simply the number that occurs most often in the series.

Take a look at this chart:

Average = 19
Median = 11
Mode = 6

If the breakeven point of Acme Marketing’s strategy for your practice is 12 new patients per month, and you are told the average number of new patients per month from Acme’s marketing strategy with other practices is typically 19, you could make a very costly decision…one that could put the practice in a financially difficult position.

In other words, if you only looked at the red line or the average, you might think that you’re likely to get about 19 new patients per month. Knowing the median and mode demonstrates that the most common number of new patients is 11, and 8 out of 12 practices got less than the average number of new patients per month.

The Allure of Cumulative Numbers

Big numbers are compelling. But without context, they can be misleading. When a company like Acme touts a large cumulative number without a date range or averaged results, tread carefully.

Marketing Numbers are Important, but View Them with Healthy Scepticism

This article isn’t meant to deter you from investing in sales and/or marketing. On the contrary, without investing in a marketing system, PT practice owners will struggle. Nevertheless, you must equip yourself with the skills to interpret the data you receive and make informed decisions about your marketing investments. 

Here are Some Final Thoughts

• Researching before signing a contract
  (BTW, E-rehab doesn’t have any contracts), 
• Consider the company’s reputation
  (E-rehab has a 98 Happiness Score, over 360 Google reviews, and 20+ years of experience)
• Don’t be embarrassed to ask the hard questions,
  (We love questions, transparency, and setting real expectations)
• Seek feedback from others.

These steps can reveal potential blind spots and expose hidden data that could guide you in making more intelligent decisions.

This Post was Written (for the most part) by Chat GPT

In today’s tech-driven world, we’re constantly hearing about AI or artificial intelligence. But what is AI, and how is it shaping the future of marketing, specifically in the physical therapy realm?

Artificial Intelligence, or AI, is a branch of computer science dedicated to creating systems capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence. These tasks could include understanding natural language, recognizing patterns, solving problems, or learning from experience. AI is powered by algorithms and large amounts of data, allowing it to process information and make decisions in a fraction of the time a human could.

One of the most remarkable implementations of AI is ChatGPT, a conversational AI developed by OpenAI. Short for “Generative Pre-training Transformer”, GPT was trained on a vast amount of internet text, and can generate human-like text based on the input it’s given.

Now, how is this relevant to physical therapy marketing? Well, imagine having a virtual assistant that works round-the-clock, responding to patient inquiries, generating engaging social media content, reaching out to prospective clients, and even crafting personalized treatment plans. That’s the potential power of AI and ChatGPT.

Here are 15 ways you can harness this advanced technology to elevate your physical therapy practice.

First you need to visit the website – chat.openai.com .  From here, you need to sign up for the service – I recommend using a gmail account so you can simply sign into Chat GPT through your Google account.

Generating text from Chat GPT first starts with you typing in/Prompting the AI to perform a task.

Here’s Chat GPT’s Response:

Physical therapy practice owners, brace yourselves for the future of marketing. It’s here, it’s smart, and it’s called ChatGPT – an advanced AI that’s set to supercharge your marketing efforts. Here are 15 ways to leverage this incredible technology to elevate your practice.

2. Automate Social Media Engagement: Engage with followers, answer questions, and maintain a consistent presence on your social media platforms. This keeps your practice top-of-mind for when those followers need physical therapy services.
3. Email Campaigns: Use ChatGPT to write compelling content for email newsletters and campaigns. It can also handle automated responses, increasing engagement with minimal effort.
4. Manage Online Reviews: ChatGPT can monitor and respond to online reviews, providing personalized responses that show you value feedback and improve your online reputation.
5. Educational Blog Posts: Utilize the AI to draft educational content about physical therapy. This helps in establishing you as an authority in the field and aids in SEO efforts.
6. Optimized Website Content: AI can create keyword-rich content for your website, improving your search engine ranking and increasing your online visibility.
7. Telehealth Chat Support: As telehealth services grow, use ChatGPT to provide real-time chat support during online consultations.
8. Physician Outreach: ChatGPT can assist in drafting personalized, persuasive outreach emails to physicians, encouraging them to refer patients to your practice.
9. Patient Follow-ups: Automate follow-up messages with ChatGPT to ensure patients are progressing well post-therapy and to remind them about future appointments.
10. Patient Testimonials: Use AI to craft compelling narratives from patient testimonials. These stories can be used across your website, social media, and email campaigns.

The power of ChatGPT is immense and vastly untapped in the world of physical therapy marketing. By leveraging AI in your marketing strategy, you’ll engage with your audience more effectively, stand out among competitors, and ultimately drive more patients to your practice. It’s time to step into the future of marketing.

So, all of the content above the horizontal line above was written by Chat GPT.  It’s interesting for sure and improving at such a rapid rate that it will have a significant impact on what we do in the not too distant future – think months, not years.

Chat GPT is Only as Good as the Prompt…and Doesn’t Know the PT Market Very Well

Most of the tactics were general in nature.  For example, “Leverage AI to promote your referral program…”.  You would have to ask for considerable clarification, specific examples, and even then, you’d need to find software to help with this.

Nevertheless, when it comes to writing content, Chat GPT can write as good or better than most humans, certainly faster, and provides a great starting point for a number of communications that you may need for your practice marketing strategies.

As a physical therapy business owner, you know the value of a strong, effective website. Think about it for a second. If your target market is 35+ years of age, they use websites all of the time when making buying choices.

A great website can be the key to attracting new patients, engaging with current ones, and ultimately growing your business. In today’s digital world, having a professional, user-friendly website is essential for any business, and this is especially true for physical therapy practices.

Here are a few key reasons why physical therapy business owners need a great website:

1. A website is your online storefront. Your website is often the first point of contact that potential patients have with your business. It’s important to make a good first impression, and a well-designed website can do just that. A professional website with clear, informative content and easy navigation can make it easy for potential patients to learn about your services and make an appointment.
2. A website can help you stand out from the competition. In a competitive industry like physical therapy, it’s important to differentiate yourself from other practices. A great website can help you do just that by highlighting your unique services and expertise.
3. A website can improve patient engagement. Your website is more than just a way to attract new patients; it’s also a valuable tool for engaging with current patients. By offering resources like exercise guides, blog posts, and patient testimonials, you can provide value to your patients and keep them coming back for more.
4. A website can improve your search engine ranking. Having a website that is optimized for search engines can help you rank higher in search results, making it easier for potential patients to find you. This can be especially valuable for small businesses that may not have the budget for other forms of advertising.
5. A website can help you collect patient information. A website with a contact form or appointment scheduling tool can make it easy for patients to get in touch with you or schedule an appointment. This can save you time and help you collect valuable patient information that can be used to improve your services.

A Website is More than an Online Brochure – You Need to “Work” It to Maximize Conversions

Of course, having a great website is only the first step. It’s also important to regularly update your website with fresh content and keep it optimized for search engines. This can help you attract new patients and keep current ones engaged.

In summary, as a physical therapy business owner, a great website is essential for attracting new patients, engaging with current ones, and growing your business.

By offering valuable resources, improving your search engine ranking, and making it easy for patients to get in touch with you, a website can be a powerful tool for success. So, invest in a great website and watch your business thrive.

Here we are sharing some common mistakes that practice owners make online.

While it’s easy to think these aren’t that big of a deal, they’re actually scaring new customers away.

1. Having a Website that’s Not Mobile-Optimized

Almost everyone and their grandma is using a smartphone or tablet these days. If your website is not optimized for mobile, it can be nearly impossible to navigate.

While you may get a teeny percentage of patients who will switch to a computer, most will get frustrated, close your site, forget all about you and move on…likely to your competition who does have a mobile friendly site. As a result, you’ll miss out on potential new business.

2. Not Updating Your Social Media Accounts

More and more people are validating, cross-checking, and learning more about PT practices on social media platforms. It’s obvious that not having a social account can hurt your practice, but few realize that having a poorly updated page can cause damage as well.

For example, if a patient searches for physical therapy in your city on Google, clicks on the link to your Facebook page, and sees that you haven’t posted in months or even years, there’s a good chance they’ll assume you’re not organized, not up-to-date, and aren’t a quality practice.

Simply having these accounts is not enough. Make sure you post regularly so patients can clearly see you’re still in business and are using social media to communicate.

3. Getting Defensive while Responding to Negative Feedback



It’s hurtful when patients leave negative feedback. Especially when it’s a particularly difficult patient (you know the ones I’m talking about) who was the main cause of the problem.While it’s our first instinct to protect ourselves and our good name, getting defensive and causing an online argument for all to see can really hurt your reputation.

Instead, acknowledge the patient’s frustration and invite them to take the conversation offline. This will demonstrate your commitment to good service and will make future patients more comfortable doing business with you.

4. Not Responding to Positive Feedback

Just as it’s important to have a thoughtful response to negative feedback, it’s equally important to respond to positive feedback.

Think of it this way, the patient has taken time out of their day to share their thoughts with you and refer future clients. By not responding, it gives the impression that you don’t care.

By taking the time to respond, it not only makes that patient feel appreciated but also, it’s another way to demonstrate your commitment to good service.
 

Why This Works…

The Internet has revolutionized the world of marketing for PT private practices and completely changed how we, as business owners, need to manage our reputation and marketing.

Taking care to ensure you have an active presence online will not only help patients discover your clinic(s) and also get a sense of what kind of service they can expect.

A practice that is responsive, available, and ensures patients have a friction-free experience will be much more appealing.

What do you get out of all this?

By caring for your online reputation and making sure you’re easily accessible, patients will be drawn to your practice. 

As a result, you’ll have a much easier time attracting new clients, keeping long-term patients, getting more referrals, and growing your business. 

What is an elevator pitch? An elevator pitch is defined as a succinct and persuasive sales pitch.

Elevator pitches are also known as a talking logo by John Jantsch of Duct Tape Marketing or Your One Liner by Donald Miller of StoryBrand.com . Each of these marketing experts have their own take on what makes up a quality elevator pitch; however, at the end of the day, there are far more similarities than differences between the three.

Why is an elevator pitch necessary?

Well, let’s say you are at a networking event, an industry event or you happen to bump into someone who requires your service. An elevator pitch is designed to entice people to stop, listen and develop an interest in your service. It’s an excellent way to connect with important contacts and potential clients.

Here are 4 important steps to creating the perfect elevator pitch:

Keep Your Elevator Pitch Brief

You don’t need to deep dive into your extensive work history and experience. An elevator pitch should be a quick recap. Ensuring your audience can quickly grasp who you are, what you do, and most importantly, how you can benefit them. You should keep your elevator pitch to under 60 seconds. 

Understand Your Target Audience and Identify their Pain Points

The easiest way to grab someone’s attention is to identify something that they’re struggling with. By demonstrating that you understand the problem, you’re instantly placed in a position of credibility. 

Can everyone on your team answer the question, “What do you do?” A great way to answer is to with a question.  “Have you ever had any pain in your muscles or joints?”

An orthopedic physical therapy practice most certainly deals with patients that have pain – it’s their number one concern in most cases.  Pain is what your patients want to avoid, get rid of, and learn how to prevent from returning.

Highlight the Biggest Benefit of Your Physical Therapy Service

Your elevator pitch should highlight the biggest benefit of your PT service. It may be difficult to limit which benefits you share. However, it’s a good idea to base it on the pain point you’ve identified as well as the features that make your business stand out from the competition.

At this point, I suggest you create some curiosity.  After you’ve asked the question above, respond to their “yes” answer with something that creates curiosity.  You might say, “So many do, that’s why I learned how to alleviate pain with my hands.”

This should inspire the person you are speaking with to ask the question, “How do you do that?”

The response could be something like this – “As a physical therapist, I’ve learned a number of manual therapy and therapeutic exercise techniques that addresses the underlying cause of pain and helps people avoid unnecessary drugs, expensive tests, & surgery.”

 Finish with a Call to Action

Once you’ve completed your pitch, what action do you want them to take next? For example, should they call to book an appointment? 

At this point you need to read the person you are speaking with.  If they follow up with more questions, ask them this, “Would like to come by for a quick free exam? I might be able to help.”

If they say they know someone with pain, ask them if they are nearby – offer them a free exam.

Don’t leave anyone up to their own devices. Be very clear about what action they should take next to secure your PT services.

Why This Works…

More often than not, PT practice owners are incredibly passionate about their care and the opportunity to help. It’s easy to get caught up in conversation and launch into a long-winded explanation about how wonderful their care is, etc. Though well-intentioned, this often loses the attention of the audience. Even worse, it decreases the chance of them doing business with you.

An elevator pitch keeps your explanation concise and direct. Getting right to the important key points that will motivate them to take action. 

What do you get out of all this?

Having an elevator pitch ready to share who you are, what you do, and how you can benefit the potential client is a quick and easy way to get your business on their radar. It tells them what they need to know so they can make an informed decision on your services. 

As a result, it allows you to successfully generate more new business and book more clients.

An Elevator Pitch is a Sales Tactic…For PT Marketing, You Also Need These Strategies

An elevator pitch is important and especially useful if everyone in the office is using one to communicate your practice’s value.  However, when it comes to online marketing, you want to do these things first:

• Create a great website that tells a compelling story and funnels viewers to your call to action.
• Email marketing to retain your past patients.
• Rank on as well as you can on Google – Google is where almost everyone starts their online search for a physical therapy clinic.
• Have the best reputation in town – trust is the number opportunity for small clinics to differentiate themselves from the big corporations.  There’s no better place to show your community that you can be trusted, than with ratings and reviews on Google and your website.

Blog posts are an excellent tool for providing value to your audience.  They convey expertise, authority, and passion for your profession of physical therapy…not to mention, the posts are great content to publish on your social media channels like Facebook.

But, if you want your blog posts to motivate your audience to take action, such as booking an appointment with you, this is how you should structure your posts.

Opening Paragraph: Identify a Key Pain Point (& use keywords for Google)

In your opening paragraph, you need to identify a common pain point that your audience may be having. This is how you grab their attention.

Be sure to go into detail about the problem. By showing you have a genuine understanding of their struggle, they will be much more likely to believe you are the person capable of solving it for them. As a result, they’re much more likely to listen to you and follow your instructions.

 Body Paragraphs: Share a Simple Solution or Steps to a Solution

After you’ve explained the problem in detail, transition into discussing the solution. This section is all about providing value.

You can make it easier to read by providing 3-5 bullet points that discuss multiple solutions. You can also lay out a single solution into easily digestible steps.

In addition to providing value, this section will give your audience a taste of your expertise. By proving that you are able to solve their problem, you’ve positioned them perfectly. Increasing the likelihood that they will take action in the final section of your blog post.

Closing Paragraph: Call to Action

This is where you ask them to book an appointment with you. To seamlessly transition into the call to action, point out how your PT services will make their life even easier than if they only follow the solution you provided.

For example, let’s say you’re sharing ways to relieve neck pain and want your audience to book a therapy session. You can share a few simple exercises for at-home relief in your post. Then tell them that if they want to maximize their healing, a personalized care plan that’s tailored to their specific needs will drastically improve their results. 

Why This Works…

This structure provides a natural flow that first builds trust, provides value and then seamlessly transitions to a soft, but effective pitch. 

Empathizing with the reader’s pain point early on is key. If you’re the person who knows the problem they’re having even better than they can understand it themselves, you’re immediately projected into a position of authority and established trust.

Putting you in the most ideal position to motivate them to take action with you.

What do you get out of all this?

This blog style will improve the amount of action taken on your posts. Not to mention, it will further establish you in your niche while endearing you to your audience. People will genuinely appreciate the value you provide.

Even if they don’t take action the first time, this gentle blog style will give them enough value to motivate them to come back for more.

Before You Take the Time to Blog, You Should Do These Things

Blogging is one of those appealing marketing strategies that many recommend. Afterall, it’s part of a solid marketing strategy that can help establish you as the go-to provider if you are consistently publishing quality content and (super important) circulating it via social media to your community.

However, we don’t recommend you do this before you get these strategies right:

• A great website that tells a compelling story and funnels viewers to your call to action.
• Email marketing to retain your past patients.
• Rank on as well as you can on Google – Google is where almost everyone starts their online search for a physical therapy clinic.
• Have the best reputation in town – trust is the number opportunity for small clinics to differentiate themselves from the big corporations.  There’s no better place to show your community that you can be trusted, than with ratings and reviews on Google and your website.
