SEO for physical therapists is how a clinic reaches the patient who searches "lower back pain when sitting", asks "do I need a referral for physical therapy?" or asks ChatGPT where to treat a running injury nearby. Now that patients can see a physical therapist directly, those searches often decide who they call. Sorank finds the questions behind each condition you treat, publishes the answers on your site once your therapists have reviewed them, and tracks which clinics the AI assistants recommend.
It is software, not an agency: your clinical team keeps the final word on every article.

"Sciatica exercises to avoid", "how long does a rotator cuff tear take to heal without surgery", "is walking good for knee arthritis": each question deserves its own page. Sorank writes one article per keyword with a title you can adjust, sources and a short FAQ, then keeps it as a draft until a therapist approves it.
Every article is built in the blog article generator and linked to the matching condition page.
A patient who asks ChatGPT or Perplexity for "the best physical therapist for ACL rehab near me" gets a short list. Sorank runs the questions you track every month and ranks the clinics and sites cited across the models, with your own position highlighted, so you see who gets named for each condition.
The method is explained in AI mention tracking.
Type "find easy keywords on shoulder rehab in Austin" in Sorank's SEO chat: it returns searches with their volume, difficulty and priority, and can turn the best ones into articles. Your front desk hears the questions all week; the chat checks which of them people also search.
Try it in the SEO chat.
WordPress, Wix, Webflow, or a site built by a healthcare web agency and connected through a webhook. Sorank then reads your Search Console data to see which conditions already bring visits.
Low back pain, post-surgery rehab, sports injuries, vestibular therapy, pelvic health: add your services and locations. Sorank proposes the patient questions for each one, with their volume and difficulty.
Articles wait as drafts until a licensed therapist on your team approves them, then go live on the days you choose, linked to the condition page and to your intake form.
THEY TRIED SORANK BEFORE YOU
“I tested Sorank on a real client site and it's insane. It does everything an agency would bill you $1500 a month for. It's going into production on that client now.”
Guillaume Guersanguersanguillaume.com
“I just let the Sorank software do its thing, and now my DR is 25 and my page is ranking higher.”
Lucas Flandrefoundertrace.fr“Great service, works well for our website and helps us understand how to improve it to rank better on Google and elsewhere. Congrats, keep going, I recommend it.”
Hugo T.E-commerce merchant“For 2 years, 100% of my clients came from LinkedIn. Posting daily, commenting, DM follow-ups… totally dependent on the algorithm. I knew I needed to work on SEO but always postponed it: too long, too technical, not my job. With Sorank, I finally took the step. In 4 months, I generate 15 organic leads per month without posting anything. It’s not 50/50 with LinkedIn yet, but I sleep better knowing I now have a second lead source growing on autopilot.”
Valentin ThomyColdMailing Agency
“I’m a developer, not a marketer. My Shopify theme was selling only through word-of-mouth and ads. With Sorank I finally understood how to structure my SEO and write articles to rank. The audit showed my product page was too slow. In 2 months, my organic traffic doubled and I’m starting to appear in ChatGPT answers when people search for Shopify themes. All of that with about 2 hours per week.”
Thème FullStackgo.themefullstack.com“Great solution to manage SEO without headaches. Audits are fast, the interface is clear, and you quickly see which actions to implement. It has become an essential tool to track and improve the SEO of my sites. I highly recommend it.”
XavEntrepreneur“I used Sorank for a client who needed SEO and it clearly made my life easier. I can quickly audit a site, track my projects, and keep a clear overview without multiplying tools. The onboarding is fast and the interface is great.”
Céline MaurinFreelance CM
“Blown away by Sorank’s performance. After testing many solutions on the market, I was amazed by how quickly our articles started ranking in the SERP. The results are concrete and much faster than anything we’ve experienced so far. It has been an excellent surprise for our team. We are confidently renewing our trust and highly recommend Sorank to agencies that demand fast and measurable results.”
Patrick PerretFreelance Webdesign SEO“We’re a development agency and we use Sorank to run on-page audits on our clients’ Shopify stores. It helps us quickly identify optimization opportunities, structure fixes, and collaborate more easily with clients on the SEO side. Very useful to complement our technical support 🔥”
Younes Yahyaluvaika.com“We are an Ads agency and we wanted to get our SEO back on track once and for all. Sorank gave us a clear view of our site, helped us prioritize optimizations, and properly structure our content. The tool is easy to use, well designed for a team, and very practical for centralizing tracking without having to juggle multiple platforms. A very solid foundation to start fresh with our SEO.”
Gaspard MadouiAds Agency“I specialized in GEO thanks to Sorank. The GEO Leaderboard allows me to show my clients their position vs competitors on ChatGPT. It’s a real commercial differentiator.”
MélanieSEO Freelance“I manage our dealership’s website and it had dozens of issues: slow pages, 404 errors, missing tags. We were losing rankings every month without understanding why. The Sorank audit detected everything in 5 minutes. I sent the report to our web provider with the priority fixes. We regained our rankings and traffic picked back up. Perfect for someone non-technical like me!”
Xavier BreullMarketing Manager“I’m a CMO for a SaaS and I manage acquisition in a very competitive market. We were investing heavily in our product but not working on our SEO. No visibility on our real competitors, no tracking of our presence in AI. Sorank showed us our positioning vs competitors, which keywords to target, and GEO opportunities we had completely ignored!”
Louis RAPPCMO SaaS
“Very good version 2, I recommend it.”
Antoine Verhillethenewblack.ai“I was skeptical at first, but this is the best SEO tool I’ve ever used. The interface is clear, audits are fast, and the recommendations are easy to implement. I’ve saved hours and hours managing SEO and tracking performance. I recommend it to all my entrepreneur friends who run an agency or work independently.”

SEO for physical therapists, often called physical therapy SEO, is the work that brings a clinic in front of people in pain or in recovery: in the Google Maps results, in the regular results and in the answers of AI assistants. It rests on a complete Google Business Profile for the clinic and its therapists, one page per condition and service, and articles that answer the questions patients ask before they book an evaluation.
Direct access is what makes those searches count. The American Physical Therapy Association's 2025 report on direct access states that patients in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and the US Virgin Islands have provisional or unrestricted direct access to physical therapist evaluation and treatment, even if some states still attach conditions to treatment without a referral. In England, the NHS explains that, depending on the area, people may get physiotherapy without a referral from their general practitioner, through community musculoskeletal services. A patient who can book directly picks the clinic whose page answered the question.
They start with a symptom more often than with a profession. "Knee pain going down stairs", "stiff neck after sleeping" or "how long does sciatica last" come long before "physical therapist near me". Then they check three things: whether you treat their condition, whether you take their insurance, and how soon they can be seen. Pages that settle those three points turn a search into an evaluation.
AI assistants add a layer, and video weighs heavily in it. In our sports AI citation study, YouTube is the most cited platform, at 4% of 1350 answers measured between May and August 2026, and Gemini cites YouTube in 9.11% of its sports answers. For a clinic, short exercise videos embedded in articles on its own site serve both readers: the patient sees the movement, the assistant finds a page to quote. Our guide to YouTube marketing covers the channel side.
Because it is health content, and readers act on it, sometimes alone at home. Google weighs experience and expertise heavily on these YMYL topics. Each article should name the licensed therapist who reviewed it, describe what an evaluation looks at instead of diagnosing, present exercises as general examples, and list the warning signs that call for a doctor first, such as numbness in the groin area, loss of bladder or bowel control, unexplained weight loss or pain after a serious fall. Never publish a patient story or photo without written consent.
Sorank writes with sources and can keep every article as a draft, so a therapist on your team approves it before it goes live. Our guide to healthcare content marketing details the review workflow.
Neighboring professions meet the same patients from another angle: see our pages for chiropractors and personal trainers. Our guide to question keywords shows how to collect symptom searches.
Google's guidelines for representing your business treat doctors and similar professionals as individual practitioners. A public-facing therapist who can be reached at the clinic during its hours may have a profile, titled with the practitioner's name only, while the clinic keeps its own separate profile. A therapist who is the only practitioner at a branded location shares one profile with the clinic, named in the format "brand: practitioner name". Settle this before you ask for reviews, so that each review lands on the right profile, and add LocalBusiness schema to each location page so the details match.
Sorank handles keyword research by condition and service, the articles with their sources and internal links, publication on your site after review, backlinks from the sites of other Sorank customers, the monthly report on AI answers and your Search Console data in one dashboard.
Your clinic keeps the clinical review, the Google Business Profiles of the clinic and its therapists, the reviews and the replies (which should never confirm that someone is a patient), insurance and intake information, exercise videos and directory listings. If your team also offers counseling, our page for therapists covers mental health practices.
Sorank's Essential plan costs $49 a month per site when billed yearly, and $99 a month without commitment; it includes 20 articles a month and 10 prompts tracked in ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. A group with several locations can move to Pro ($129 yearly or $249 monthly) for 60 articles with Grok tracking, or to Business ($249 yearly or $499 monthly) for 120 articles (pricing details). Each plan starts with a 3-day free trial and carries the 90-day results-or-refund guarantee.
No one can promise a date, and Google publishes none. Condition articles tend to show up in Search Console impressions soon after they are indexed, then gain clicks over several months as related articles link to each other. Review each condition after three months, and keep publishing on the ones whose impressions climb.
Start with the conditions you treat most, combined with your town, then add the symptom and recovery questions patients ask about them. Access and insurance questions come next, answered on your intake pages.
Count several months. Profile updates and new reviews can show within weeks, while condition articles collect impressions first and clicks later. Review each condition after three months of publishing.
Sorank starts at $49 a month billed yearly, or $99 a month without commitment, with 20 articles a month and a 3-day free trial. Multi-location groups can move to Pro or Business for more articles and more AI models tracked.
No. The profiles of the clinic and of each therapist, the reviews and the replies stay with your team. Sorank works on your website articles and on the AI answers.
Give it pages to quote: clear condition and recovery articles on your own site, consistent profiles and directory listings, and exercise videos embedded in your articles. Then track every month whether ChatGPT names your clinic and which sources it uses.
Yes to both. Articles can wait as drafts until a therapist approves them, and Sorank publishes to WordPress, Wix, Webflow and Shopify, or to any other site through a webhook.
We don't. Sorank isn't trying to be another Semrush or Ahrefs. Those tools are built for data, Sorank is built to do the work. Instead of more dashboards to check, it turns SEO and GEO insights into actions: articles written and published, backlinks earned, technical fixes and AI visibility tracking. Less complexity, more results.
From $49/month per website on a yearly plan, with a 3-day free trial and a 90-day money-back guarantee (conditions apply). Every plan includes articles, AI visibility tracking and access to natural backlink acquisition; higher plans add more articles, more AI prompts tracked and more backlinks. No setup fees, no paying for seats you don't use.
You shouldn't need a full marketing team or expensive tools to grow. Sorank handles your entire SEO and AI visibility, so you save time and money.
