Marketing agency for physiotherapy clinics
Updated · By the PPC Pros Canada team
How Google Ads, Local Services Ads and Facebook ads work together for physiotherapy clinics
Physiotherapy patients choose a clinic close to home or work that bills their insurance. Google Search captures people looking for a physio now, and Facebook and Instagram teach people they can book without a referral and promote specific programs.
Google Search ads
Location-based campaigns by condition and service, with direct billing in the ads.
Local Services Ads
Physiotherapy is not an LSA category in most Canadian markets, so the budget goes to Search and Meta.
Facebook & Instagram ads
Direct-booking awareness, program promotion and team introductions within college rules.
Everything else
Google Business Profile for every clinic location, with online booking links.
The right channel mix for physiotherapy
Most physiotherapy patients search when they are in pain or have been referred by a doctor, so Google Search and Maps bring the majority of new patients. Meta builds awareness for sports, prevention and specialty services such as pelvic health or vestibular therapy.
Referrals from doctors, chiropractors, personal trainers and sports clubs are valuable, and a physiotherapy clinic’s reputation with them often matters as much as ads.
Pain-driven search
Google captures patients ready to book.
Specialty awareness
Meta builds demand for niche services.
Referral networks
Doctors, trainers and clubs as partners.
Your physiotherapy business on every platform
The same customer might see your Facebook ad in March, search Google in April and call from a Local Services Ad in May. Each placement has its own format.
