The best AI search agencies for chiropractors and physical therapists in 2026

Patients with back pain or a sports injury now ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google’s AI Mode who to see, and the answers often name two or three clinics. Agencies that sell to chiropractors and physical therapists have noticed, and most now list “AI search” somewhere on their site.

This list is for owners of small independent chiropractic and PT clinics in the US. We checked each firm on its own website in November 2026, noted what it actually sells and what it costs where that’s public, and ranked by fit for a clinic with one to three locations. Cleareo is our own service; we’ve put it first and labelled it, and “How we chose” explains why.

Summary comparison

If you want AI visibility work at a published price, month to month, start with Cleareo (this is us). If you want a specialist with prices on the page, look at ChiroCandy (chiropractic) or Practice Promotions (physical therapy). For a cheap AI layer on an existing setup, Online Chiro’s add-on or BrightLocal are options.

How we chose

We started from the chiropractic and PT marketing firms that show up when you ask AI tools and Google about AI search for clinics, then kept only those whose own website shows a real AI search service today.

We ranked by fit for an independent clinic using six criteria:

1. Fit for a small clinic: is the service built and priced for one to three locations?
2. Public pricing.
3. Contract length, because a clinic testing something new shouldn’t be locked in for two years. Month to month scores best.
4. Focus on AI visibility: Google Business Profile, reviews, Yelp, condition and practitioner pages, and health directories, rather than mostly schema and blog posts, with tracked patient questions in the real AI tools and a stated method.
5. A free check or audit of your own clinic before you pay.
6. Specialty focus: does the firm know chiro or PT patients, insurance questions and directories?

One caveat about lists like this. In Cleareo’s tests (November 2026), when an agency’s own “best of” page was cited in an AI answer, that agency was named in the same answer 61% of the time. Vendors publish lists because they work. We rank ourselves first on fit and price for a small clinic, but we’re a new service with no published case studies, so judge us on the free AI check rather than on this list. We say “this is us” wherever it applies.

What AI tools look at when they recommend a clinic

AI tools lean heavily on your Google Business Profile, your reviews, directories and your own site, roughly in that order. Gemini grounds its answers in Google Maps data, and in healthcare, Yext found listings make up 52.6% of AI citations, with WebMD, Vitals, Zocdoc and Healthgrades leading.

Reviews matter in both count and rating. In one analysis of 9,400 Google AI Mode answers, only 3.7% named a business rated under 4.0 stars.

The answers also move around. BrightLocal’s study of 200,000 AI answers found Google Maps named a tracked business in 66% of searches against 32-38% for AI surfaces, and re-asking the same question brought back the same business only about half the time. Any agency report based on one screenshot isn’t telling you much.

Patients are using these tools, though it isn’t their main channel yet. BrightLocal found only 8% of US consumers choose AI first to find a local business, and 43% of those go back to Google. A patient survey by rater8 found 47% had used AI to find a provider by mid-2026 (a vendor survey, so treat it as directional).

The agencies, ranked by fit for a small clinic

1. Cleareo

This is us. Cleareo is a small studio that helps independent health practices, including chiropractors and physical therapists, get named by ChatGPT, Google’s AI, Claude and Perplexity, and rebuilds practice websites. Our AI visibility service starts with an audit: 20 patient questions in 4 AI tools, 3 runs each, from 3 spots in your area, showing your share of recommendations against your top 5 competitors, every site the tools read, a listings and website check, and a 90-day plan with a recorded walkthrough.

Who it suits: budget-conscious clinics with one to three locations, chiro or PT, that want the groundwork done without a long contract.

Pricing (as of November 2026, see pricing): free AI check; audit $149 introductory (later $297), credited against the first month; Essentials $499/month or Growth $899/month; extra locations $199/month. A website rebuild is $499 one time for up to 8 pages.

Watch-outs: we’re new and have no published case studies yet, so judge us on the free check. We don’t run paid ads, and we’re not the right fit for multi-location groups. You keep every profile, page and login, and plans are month to month.

2. ChiroCandy

ChiroCandy is a chiropractic marketing agency that sells SEO and AI search optimization on its own, described as technical SEO and structured content that supports discovery in traditional and AI search. Its bigger packages add Meta and Google ads, a review program and a custom website.

Who it suits: a chiropractor who wants SEO and AI search handled by a chiro specialist without buying a full ads package.

Pricing (as of November 2026): SEO / AI search optimization at $795 a month; Advertising Growth at $1,145 a month (ads, no SEO); Advertising + Search Growth at $2,290 a month (adds SEO/AI search and a custom website). Typical setup is $1,000 one time. Ad spend is separate.

Watch-outs: the custom website requires a 12-month agreement; other terms are in the contract, so ask for them up front. Ask how AI answers will be measured.

3. Practice Promotions

Practice Promotions works only with physical therapy clinics and says it’s built “by PTs for PTs”. Every plan includes Google and AI search optimization alongside a website, SEO, call tracking, blog content and a customer success manager.

Who it suits: a PT clinic that wants website, SEO and AI search in one bundle and is happy to commit long term.

Pricing (as of November 2026): Platinum $1,795/month on 12 months or $1,495/month on 24 months; Pro (adds Google Ads) $2,395 or $2,095; Ultimate $3,095 or $2,895. No setup fees. Extra locations are $175/month each.

Watch-outs: 12- and 24-month terms are long if you’re unsure. Not for chiropractors. Because the website is part of the monthly fee, ask what happens to it if you leave.

4. Online Chiro

Online Chiro builds chiropractic websites and sells AIO Plus, an add-on to its SEO service aimed at ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity. It covers schema, content access control, content optimization, directory placement, review collection and a monthly AI audit.

Who it suits: a chiropractor on a small budget who’s happy on an Online Chiro website.

Pricing (as of November 2026): SEO from $149 a month, AIO Plus from $99 a month.

Watch-outs: AIO Plus is sold with Online Chiro’s SEO, so it suits existing or new Online Chiro customers rather than clinics with a site elsewhere. Contract terms aren’t on the AI page. At this price, expect a lighter-touch service than the agencies above.

5. PatientPartners

PatientPartners markets physiotherapy, physical therapy and allied health clinics in the US and Canada, and its form lists chiropractic and multidisciplinary clinics too. Its AI search service covers pages for each service, condition, clinician and location; schema; consistent listings across Google, Apple Maps, Bing and health directories; a steady flow of Google reviews; Google Business Profile work; and monthly reporting.

Who it suits: a PT or multidisciplinary clinic that wants condition and clinician pages done properly.

Pricing: not published as of November 2026. A free AI search audit is offered.

Watch-outs: month to month, though it recommends at least 3 months. Its reporting covers rankings, traffic, calls and leads; ask whether AI answers are tracked directly.

6. Harris & Ward

Harris & Ward is a Lexington, Kentucky agency that works with chiropractors, dentists and several other professions. It offers SEO, AI search with daily AI visibility tracking, Google Ads, web design and in-house photo and video.

Who it suits: a chiropractor who wants SEO, AI search, ads and video from one team on short terms.

Pricing: its own chiropractic agency list says programs start at $850 a month, month to month (as of November 2026).

Watch-outs: that list ranks Harris & Ward first, so weigh it as a vendor page. It isn’t chiro-only, and PT isn’t among the industries on its homepage.

7. Perfect Patients

Perfect Patients is a long-running chiropractic marketing company. Its SEO + GEO service adds generative engine optimization to SEO work that covers Google Business Profile, local directories, reviews and content.

Who it suits: a chiropractor who wants a managed website and a single vendor for content and search.

Pricing: not published as of November 2026.

Watch-outs: you’ll need a call for price and terms. Its own page says to expect 6-12 months of work to build AI visibility in competitive markets, which is a fair expectation to set, but plan your budget for it.

8. KKV Labs

KKV Labs is an AI visibility agency for local businesses and lists chiropractors among the types it serves. It’s the only firm here that sells AI visibility on its own with a money-back guarantee: five agreed questions, measured in ChatGPT and Google AI Mode, and if you’re not in the top 3 for at least 3 of them by day 90 you get your money back or free work until you are.

Who it suits: a clinic that wants a narrow, measurable AI-only service.

Pricing: $999 a month as of November 2026.

Watch-outs: 3-month minimum, then month to month. It’s not a healthcare specialist, so ask how it handles HIPAA-safe review replies. A guarantee on five questions is specific, which is good, but check the questions reflect what your patients actually ask.

9. WebFX

WebFX is a large US agency with a full generative engine optimization service tracking Google AI Overviews, AI Mode, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Copilot, Claude and more through its own OmniSEO tool.

Who it suits: multi-location PT or chiro groups with a larger budget.

Pricing: from $3,000 a month as of November 2026.

Watch-outs: a 6-month commitment, and a starting price above most single clinics’ whole marketing budget. It’s a general agency.

10. BrightLocal (do it yourself)

BrightLocal is software. Its Local AI Visibility tracker shows whether ChatGPT, Google AI Mode and AI Overviews recommend you, who appears instead, and what to fix.

Who it suits: an owner or front-desk lead with a few hours a month.

Pricing: included in Track, Manage and Grow plans from $31 a month as of November 2026, with a 14-day free trial.

Watch-outs: it measures but doesn’t do the work, and it doesn’t list Gemini or Perplexity.

What chiro and PT patients ask AI, and what your clinic needs to answer

AI tools tend to name clinics that answer the patient’s exact question in plain words somewhere they can read it. For chiropractors and PTs, those questions are usually practical.

• Direct access: “Can I see a physical therapist without a referral in [state]?” Rules vary by state and by insurer. A short page that explains your state’s rules and what patients need to bring gives AI tools a clear answer to quote.
• Insurance and cash pay: “Chiropractor near me that takes Blue Cross” or “cash-pay PT for runners”. List the plans you’re in network with, your self-pay prices if you publish them, and if you offer superbills.
• Conditions: “PT for sciatica”, “chiropractor for headaches”, “ACL rehab near me”. One page per condition you actually treat, with who treats it and what a first visit involves.
• Hours: “Chiropractor open Saturday” is a common filter. Make sure Saturday and evening hours match on Google, Yelp, your site and every directory.
• Practitioners: one page per DC or DPT with credentials, focus areas and a photo. Health directories such as Healthgrades and Zocdoc should match.

Ask any agency which of these it will build or fix in the first 90 days.

What to ask an agency before you sign

The risks for a chiro or PT clinic sit in four places: patient privacy, advertising claims, promises about results, and who owns the accounts.

Will review replies be HIPAA-safe?

A reply must never confirm the reviewer is a patient or mention their care. HHS settled with a dental practice, New Vision Dental, for $23,000 over review replies that disclosed patient information, and the same rules apply to your clinic. Ask for sample replies to a bad review, and ask who approves them.

Ask how reviews are requested too. Google bans review incentives and review gating, and the FTC’s Consumer Reviews and Testimonials Rule, in force since October 21, 2024, bans fake or AI-written reviews, bought reviews and suppressing negative ones.

Who checks claims on condition pages?

AI-friendly content invites strong claims (“cures sciatica”, “spine specialist”). Your state licensing board’s advertising rules apply to everything the agency writes, and specialist titles in physical therapy belong to clinicians who hold the matching board certification. Ask who reviews content before it goes live.

What exactly is guaranteed?

Nobody controls AI answers. A reasonable promise names the questions, the AI tools, the method and the remedy. A promise of “#1 in ChatGPT” without those details isn’t worth much.

Who owns the Google profile, website and logins?

The clinic should own its Google Business Profile, domain, hosting, Yelp, Healthgrades and Zocdoc accounts, with the agency added as a manager. Get it in writing, especially where a website is bundled into a 12- or 24-month plan.

Where to start this week

1. Ask ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity three questions your patients would ask, such as “best chiropractor in [town]”, “physical therapist for [condition] near [neighborhood]” and “[clinic type] open Saturday”. Run each twice and note who’s named and which sites are cited.
2. In your Google Business Profile, check the primary category (Chiropractor or Physical therapist), services, Saturday hours, photos and booking link.
3. Claim Yelp, and check Healthgrades and Zocdoc for every practitioner.
4. Add or fix one condition page and one practitioner page.
5. Put a simple, compliant review request into your checkout routine.

If you’d like someone else to run the questions, our free AI check asks 5 patient questions for your town in ChatGPT, Google’s AI, Claude and Perplexity, twice each, and emails the results within 2 business days.
