  • 9 Ways Chiropractors Hurt Their New Patient Conversion
    Jan 6 2026

    In this episode of the Rocket Chiropractic Podcast, I break down nine small but critical mistakes that quietly hurt chiropractic conversion. These are not big marketing failures or SEO problems. They are little things that get in the way once a potential patient has already found you.

    I talk about the difference between being found online and being chosen, and why many chiropractors do not have a traffic problem. They have a choosing problem.

    If people are visiting your website or Google profile but not scheduling, this episode will help you identify what might be standing in the way.

    What We Cover in This Episode
    • Why cluttered chiropractic websites reduce clarity and trust

    • How unclear messaging hurts conversion even with good SEO

    • The importance of real photos and avoiding cold, generic imagery

    • Why responding to reviews matters more than you think

    • How bad responses to negative reviews can actively repel patients

    • Appointment processes that create friction instead of momentum

    • Common problems with online schedulers that cause drop-off

    • Why too many first-visit options overwhelm new patients

    • How salesy language and fake urgency damage long-term trust

    Key Takeaway

    People usually choose what feels easiest, clearest, and safest, not necessarily what is best.

    This episode is about removing unnecessary barriers so choosing you becomes the natural next step.

    Who This Episode Is For
    • Chiropractors getting website traffic but low conversions

    • Practices struggling with online scheduling or inquiries

    • Relationship-centered chiropractors who dislike sales pressure

    • Anyone wondering why patients are not choosing them

  • Relationship Marketing vs Sales Marketing in Chiropractic
    Dec 15 2025
    In this episode, I go back to one of the original ideas behind Rocket Chiro and what used to be Black Sheep DC: relationship marketing. This topic has been near and dear to me for a long time, and I wanted to revisit it because I think it is especially relevant heading into a new year. A lot of chiropractors are either just getting started, feeling stuck, or reflecting on why their practice does not feel as stable as they want it to be. In my experience, a big part of that comes down to how you think about marketing and growth. Specifically, are you trying to build relationships, or are you just trying to make sales? Why Chiropractic Is a Relationship Business Chiropractic is not a big-ticket, one-time-sale business like real estate or high-end sales. We do not make our money from a single transaction. Chiropractic works much more like a restaurant. Restaurants succeed because they have repeat customers over a long period of time. Some people come in all the time. Some come occasionally. Some only come for special occasions. But when they want that type of food, they go back to the same place. Chiropractic works the same way. If someone comes in, finishes a care plan, and never comes back, that is not a success. That is a broken relationship. The Goal Most Chiropractors Get Wrong I talk through three different goals chiropractors tend to have. The wrong goal is simply "I want new patients." A better goal is "I want new patients who are a good fit for my practice." The best goal is "I want new patients who are a good fit for my practice and who always come to me when they need a chiropractor." That last goal changes everything. It changes how you onboard patients, how you make recommendations, how you follow up, and how you market. Retention Is Not PVA One of my long-standing soapboxes is that real retention is not a PVA number. Real retention is not about how many visits someone averages during a care plan. Real retention is about maintaining the doctor patient relationship over time. If someone sees you ten times over twenty years, but every single time they need a chiropractor they come back to you, that is incredible retention. Retention is about time, trust, and being the default chiropractor in someone's life. Dating for Marriage vs Dating for Sex I use a dating analogy to explain how mindset changes behavior. If you are dating with the intention of a long-term relationship or marriage, you move differently. You listen more. You are more honest. You care about fit. You think long term. If your only goal is to score, none of that matters. The same thing happens in chiropractic. If your only goal is to close a new patient, you will use pressure, scare tactics, and short-term thinking. If your goal is a long-term relationship, your entire approach changes. How a Relationship Mindset Changes Your Practice I walk through several areas where this mindset shows up. Onboarding looks different. You listen more, talk less, and focus on agreement instead of closing. Recommendations and care plans become more flexible, educational, and structured instead of rigid and contract-driven. Follow-up and reactivation feel natural instead of awkward. You check in because you care, not because you are desperate. Marketing shifts from chasing new patients with deals and urgency to building authority, trust, and long-term connection with both new and existing patients. Relationship Marketing and SEO I also talk about how this mindset applies to SEO and online marketing. Short-term SEO tactics rely on fake activity, fake reviews, junk backlinks, and manufactured signals. They can work briefly, but they are unstable and risky. Long-term SEO is relational. It is built on real reviews, real activity, real authority, and consistency over time. Selling to people who trust you is easy. Getting people to trust you is hard. Google works the same way. You do not game a relationship. You build one. The Big Takeaway Relationship marketing is long-term and stable. Sales marketing is short-term and unstable. One compounds. The other burns out. And the final thought I leave you with is this: What you do to get patients is what you have to do to keep them. If you rely on pressure to get people in the door, you will need pressure to keep them. If you build trust to get them, trust is what keeps them coming back.

  • Google vs AI Search for Chiropractors: What Actually Matters
    Dec 9 2025
    In this episode, I talk about the three big categories that determine whether you show up in Google search and in AI-generated search results. A lot of chiropractors are being told that Google is dead and AI is taking over. I wanted to clear that up, explain what's really going on, and help you understand what matters most for your online visibility. I also share a bit about how I help chiropractors through websites, local SEO, and my Next Step program. Some key points I touch on: • Google is still very much alive and heavily used. • AI hasn't replaced Google, and AI is now part of Google anyway. • The fundamentals of local SEO still matter for both Google and AI. • You don't need to panic or chase shiny AI tools to win in local search. Why AI Confusion Is Hurting Chiropractors Lately, I've been seeing more chiropractors reach out because someone told them AI is all that matters now. A lot of marketers are using AI buzzwords to sell products or services that chiropractors don't really understand. This episode is partly a response to that confusion and partly a way to protect chiropractors from being taken advantage of. A few important reminders: • People have not suddenly stopped using Google. • AI search is influenced by many of the same signals Google uses. • Anyone claiming to know the exact formula for AI ranking is probably exaggerating. • When someone is selling you something AI-related, slow down and ask questions. • Work with people you trust, not people who rely on hype. The Three Categories That Drive Local Search Everything you want to accomplish with local SEO falls into three buckets. These buckets determine whether you show up online and how well you rank compared to other chiropractors in your area. The three categories are: • Relevance • Prominence • Proximity Even AI-powered search uses these categories, just interpreted in different ways. Relevance: The Most Straightforward Ranking Factor Relevance is simply about matching what someone is searching for. If you want to show up when someone types chiropractor in your town, you need the word chiropractor and your town on your website and your Google Business Profile. Things I see chiropractors forget: • The word chiropractor doesn't appear anywhere on their homepage. • Their title tag doesn't say chiropractor. • Their meta description never mentions their city. • Their primary Google Business Profile category is incorrect. • They expect to rank for services they never list on their site. Other important notes about relevance: • You should target chiropractor, not just chiropractic. • You should list your town, service area, and secondary services clearly. • Structured data, metadata, and image tags reinforce relevance. • Stuffing near me into your site does nothing because Google already knows your location. Prominence: The Hardest and Most Important Category Prominence is your authority, your reputation, and your trust score online. Google uses many different signals to evaluate prominence. Things that influence prominence include: • Website traffic • Backlinks from relevant sources • Local citations • Your review count • The quality of your reviews • Your brand strength in the community • How often people search for your practice name • Time spent on your site and how users interact with it Examples I discuss: • Starbucks ranks instantly because its brand is deeply recognized by Google. • The Joint has built-in authority because it's a national franchise. • A solo chiropractor with one location has to build prominence from scratch. Why prominence takes the most effort: • It requires ongoing reviews. • It requires ongoing content and activity. • It requires consistency over time. • If you stop building prominence, someone else will pass you. This is why I tell chiropractors: • Never take your foot off the gas once you start ranking well. • If you're outpacing other chiropractors two or three to one in reviews, keep going. • Prominence slips when you stop feeding it. Proximity: The Factor You Can't Control Proximity is all about physical location. It determines your map ranking radius and plays a huge role in where you show up. What affects proximity: • Where your practice is physically located • How many chiropractors surround you • How tightly clustered your competition is • Whether you are near the geographic center of a city • Whether you're in a dense metro or a small rural town Examples I explain: • If you're the only chiropractor for miles, you'll rank easily. • If you're on the edge of town, you might rank better on one side than the other. • If you're surrounded by 100 chiropractors toward downtown, ranking there is harder. • If you stop working on SEO, someone who keeps building prominence can surpass you even if they're slightly farther away. Proximity is the least flexible category, but: • Relevance and prominence can help you ...
