Most PT clinics *have* a Google Business Profile—but very few have one that actually works. In this episode, Jeremy Dupont walks through the six steps to properly set up and optimize your profile so patients can find you, trust you, and book with you.

If you've ever wondered why your clinic doesn't show up on Google Maps when someone searches "physical therapist near me," this is your blueprint to fix it.

📌 Episode Topics:

1. Verify Your Profile
   • Get the blue check mark ✅
   • Send a quick verification video (clinic exterior, sign, interior)
   • Make sure Google knows you're a legit business
2. Fix Your Name
   • Include your keyword (e.g., "Physical Therapy")
   • Consider adding location (e.g., "Dallas")
   • Use a DBA if you need a legal workaround
3. Add Your Services

   • Pro tip: save photo filenames with keywords (e.g., "dry-needling-boston.jpg")
5. Choose the Right Category
   • Start with "Physical Therapist" as primary
   • Add relevant secondary categories (Sports Rehab, etc.)
   • Check competitors to see what works
