A local SEO checklist for chiropractors

“Chiropractor near me” is searched about 673,000 times a month in the US. Many of those clicks go to the clinics in the map results and the websites just below them. This checklist covers what helps a clinic get there.

1. Your Google Business Profile

• Set your primary category to Chiropractor and add every service you offer.
• Add your booking link, so people can book straight from the map.
• Keep your hours accurate. If you open on Saturdays, say so: about 1,900 people a month search for a chiropractor open on Saturday.
• Add real photos of your clinic and team, and keep adding new ones.

2. Reviews, every week

• Ask after the visit, when the patient feels better. A short text with a direct link makes it easy.
• Reply to every review, good or bad, in a calm and helpful tone.
• Never offer anything in exchange for a review. Google’s policy doesn’t allow incentives.

3. Your website

• A page for each condition you treat: back pain, neck pain, sciatica, headaches, sports injuries.
• A new patient page: what happens on the first visit and how long it takes.
• Clear costs and insurance. About 2,400 people a month search what a chiropractor costs without insurance.
• Online booking and a tap-to-call button on every phone screen.

4. Directories that match

Make sure your name, address and phone are exactly the same on Google, Apple Business Connect, Bing Places, Yelp, Healthgrades and Zocdoc. Mismatched listings confuse both patients and Google.

5. Track what matters

Track calls from the website, online bookings and where you rank in the map for your top searches. Check them every month.
