Get your PT clinic found on Google and ChatGPT
When someone asks ChatGPT or Google for physical therapy near them, the clinics that appear have clear pages about what they treat, complete and consistent business listings, and real reviews. No one can guarantee a ranking. Westward’s ChatGPT and AI search agent checks how your clinic shows up and suggests fixes you approve.
Talk through your clinic with the person who builds it
A free 30-minute call. You leave knowing which part of your physical therapy practice to hand to AI first, what we would build, and roughly how long it takes.
Say what you treat, by name
List the conditions and specialties you really offer: vestibular rehab, sports injuries, post-surgical care, pelvic health. One clear page for each gives assistants something specific to quote.
Make the basics airtight
Hours, address, phone, insurance accepted, and whether you need a referral should be the same on your site and every listing. Direct access rules differ by state, so state yours accurately.
Reviews and photos back it up
Local results and assistants both weigh what patients say. Reviews that mention the condition treated and the therapist help the right people find you.
Photos of the gym, the treatment rooms and the team show new patients what to expect.
Picture this
Examples of what it can look like. Illustrations, not clients.
Someone asks an assistant for a PT who treats dizziness. Your site has a page for vestibular care and an easy way to call.
You stop accepting a plan. Your site and listings are updated the same day.
A page explains in plain words whether a person needs a doctor’s referral in your state.

Questions
Do reviews matter for AI answers?
They matter for local search, and assistants often draw on them. More real reviews help.
Is this a one-time job?
No. Listings drift, so it is worth checking regularly.
Can I list every insurance plan?
List the ones you accept and tell people to confirm their own coverage with their plan.
