When should patients get the card?
The same way for every patient, at the front desk. Many patients review near the end of their care, when they can describe their recovery; the card makes it easy whenever they're ready.
How do we reply to reviews without breaking patient privacy?
Keep replies general: thank the reviewer, don't confirm they're a patient, and never mention injuries or treatment. Member reports include reply drafts written that way.
Can each therapist have their own listing?
In many cases Google allows individual practitioners their own profile alongside the clinic's. We look at how your clinic works and recommend the right setup.
How does verification work for a physical therapy clinic?
Like any storefront: Google chooses the method, often a short video or a mailed postcard to your clinic address. Separate therapist listings at a shared office can take extra steps.
Can we offer a free session for a review?
No. Google prohibits offering anything in exchange for reviews, and we never set that up. Every patient gets the same simple invitation.
Is there anything we should avoid asking customers?
Yes: never ask for a specific star rating or wording, never offer anything in return for a review, and never ask only the customers you think are happy. The card simply makes it easy for everyone to leave an honest review.
