Questions physical therapists ask us
- How do I get my practice recommended by ChatGPT?
- AI engines with web search lean on what the web says about you: how many recent Google reviews you have, listings on sites like Healthgrades, Zocdoc and Yelp, and pages that name your city and services, such as sports rehab, post-surgery rehab and back pain physical therapy. Pickgap compares you with the physical therapists that do get picked on exactly those points and ranks the fixes by impact. No one can promise a ranking; the fixes raise your chances, and the next scan shows whether they worked.
- Which questions does Pickgap ask about physical therapists?
- 25 questions per business, the way patients ask them, like "best physical therapy clinic in your city after ACL surgery" and "physical therapist in your city for runners". Each is asked twice, as a searcher in your city, on ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode: 250 answers per report.
- Is AI visibility the same as local SEO?
- They share signals (reviews, listings, your website), but an AI answer names only a handful of physical therapists, and each engine picks differently. Ranking on Google doesn't mean ChatGPT names you. Pickgap measures the AI side directly, per engine.
- What does it cost?
- The free check costs nothing and takes about a minute. Tracking one physical therapist starts at $29 a month; agencies tracking 25 clients pay $199. Every plan starts with a 7-day trial, no card.
