Just like any other healthcare niche, chiropractic (manual therapy) necessitates a fair share of marketing investment. From the perspective of a full-funnel marketing approach, this may sound rather challenging to most chiropractors around the corner.
In today’s blog post, Promodo Healthcare Marketers will share best-fit tips on launching a complex digital marketing strategy for manual therapists with less than $1000 a month.
Beyond physical presence as a local chiropractic clinic, your strategic marketing task is to go online and win more clients. Not doing so, you’ll embrace only the ‘bricks’ part of the market without penetrating the ‘clicks’ opportunities.
While more than 90% of patients browse through search engines for healthcare and wellness services before scheduling an appointment, it is vital to show up on Google and popular social media platforms.
The challenge is all about cutting a larger market share over time. In marketing terms, this indicates the percentage of all sales you make in the chiropractic niche. The higher your market share is, the more competitive you become as an established chiropractic venture. Further, market share will indicate the effectiveness of your business development and its scaling capacity.
At the start of your marketing journey, you should understand whether people know your chiropractic clinic and how much they talk about it. Here, you will rely on a share of voice as a reliable marketing metric to help you compare your brand awareness across multiple marketing channels.
With that, you’ll analyze your market positioning against the closest chiropractic competitors, and the effectiveness of your ads, website traffic, and social media mentions.
With over 70,000 licensed chiropractors across the United States, you’ll strategically bet on marketing your local community members. That’s the finest way to stand out from the crowd and make your patient outreach effective.
Over time, however, you’ll want to expand your business beyond local and gain more clients online. That’s about showing your services to more interested patients and increasing your most loyal clientele's lifetime value (LTV).
The greatest challenge of withstanding hectic competition is not in acquiring one-time patients but in your capacity to retain a stable chiropractic patient base. That’s where you should continuously maintain your marketing budget.
There’s plenty of opportunity to stand out from local competition.
To sustain a solid amount of loyal patients, you should first understand their needs.
There’s no more sinful omission than failing to explore the target audience for your practice. Beyond targeting local neighborhoods and communities within a 3-6 mile range, you should dive into the immediate chiropractic needs of your patients.
With these questions in mind, you’ll target your prospects individually. This means that patients will soon associate your practice with individual patient-focused chiropractic services. And, that’s another source of your comparative advantage in a highly competitive marketplace.
Drawing your chiropractic patient portrait will help you optimize winning marketing campaigns. This is super important to plan and save on your marketing costs:
Last but not least, beware of an ever-changing regulatory and licensing environment across the chiropractic niche. You should strictly follow updated regulations and adjust your marketing campaigns in compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requirements.
Beyond the federal commitment to protect patient data, you should comply with federal and state legislation that governs healthcare marketing.
At Promodo, we measure a typical marketing budget range for our clients depending on various factors:
Still, our digital marketing practice shows that you can manage an effective marketing strategy on a shoestring monthly budget starting at $1,000.
That won’t include all performance marketing tools we deploy and marketing channels we cope with. However, that’s still a possible option as a starting point to make your chiropractic business go online.
Supposedly, you haven’t got an in-house marketing team to cope with all the positioning and promotional challenges. The following recommendations and our hands-on case study will help you convert more people into the quality and loyal patients for your chiropractic clinic.
During the initial marketing period of three months, it is essential to adjust a patient-centered website to attract every potential visitor who may need chiropractic services like yours.
Your ultimate SEO task is to optimize your branded chiropractic website for wider visibility in search engines. This is strategically important to make your website rank high on search engine results pages (SERPs). This is how you’ll attract more prospects beyond your local reach.
Local SEO for Chiropractors assumes your vast appearance across local search results. You’ll need to promote effective local search engine optimization (SEO) during the first stages of your marketing journey. Adjust Google Business Profile as your number one local listing with:
Make your business information consistent across all online platforms and popular healthcare listings.
Your further task is to generate quality content to gain organic traffic. Regular blog posts about the most related topics to your practice like chiropractic treatments will help you position your practice as a featured local expert and improve search rankings for your website.
Integrate relevant local keywords into your website’s content. Reliable online tools like Ahrefs and Similarweb will let you opt for the most effective short-tail and long-tail keyword combinations. By accompanying your content with the right keywords, you may:

Paid advertising is all about driving targeted traffic to your chiropractic website. These are the most interested patients in your manual therapy services.

Along with capturing referrals from various marketing channels, bet on email marketing as a substantial part of your patient retention strategy.
The approach assumes customized communication with your patient base by delivering regular emails and newsletters.
Include a patient’s email in the registration form to further contact them. Stable communication shows that you care about your patients and are ready to praise them for their devotion and loyalty to your clinic.
Personalized patient-focused emails will serve you as super effective triggers to:
Tailored email marketing campaigns for chiropractors will help you connect your core services with immediate patient needs and attract new clients.
Our proven email marketing tips to build relationships and encourage patients to trust your practice:
After each visit to your chiropractic clinic, ask patients to leave feedback or post patient reviews on your website or popular listings for healthcare providers.
You may also use emails and SMS to ask patients for reviews.
Patient reviews are an integral part of another marketing strategy known as search engine reputation management (SERM).
You should work with patient feedback both positive and negative and stimulate a continuous flow of patient reviews on popular healthcare listins.
This is much about your good name and reputation in the chiropractic niche. Your task here is to encourage patient feedback with:
Make sure to reward every patient who praises your chiropractic services with 4-5-star reviews.
SERM is organically integrated in Google algorithms checked by assessors. SERM analysis emphasizes E-E-A-T factors to check the reliability of content on your website as well as the overall reputation of your practice. The integration of SERM into your SEO strategy will also help you spot positive and negative patient reviews. Our top SERM advice here is to never grab patient reviews artificially or make them up with the help of AI. Beware that since May 5, 2024, Google has intensified its SERM algorithm, which is now more likely to pessimize online ratings of the companies that manipulate reputation online. Vladislav Trishkin, Team Lead SEO at Promodo.
To avoid bans for your chiropractor website, our SERM experts will help you carefully process negative reviews on a vis-a-vis basis with your patients. We know how to communicate a problem, address individual complaints to sweeten a bitter experience, and make patients come back to your clinic.

You’ll leverage the power of social media platforms as an effective means of reaching potential patients for your chiropractic clinic and building a loyal community of lifetime patients.
Social media marketing is an efficient strategy to engage directly with your target patient audience, share hands-on success stories, and utilize targeted advertising to reach users who need your services.
Top tips for your social media advertising success:
On a local scale, spreading the good word about your chiropractic business is the best strategy to gain more patients without spending upfront costs.
Despite your location or your practice size, your marketing success on a local level will depend on the immediate word-of-mouth effect. What people are saying about you is not less important online.
Referral marketing is about recommending your chiropractic services to other people. While offering one-time discounts or seasonal offerings is only part of the game, you should get referrals from your satisfied and loyal patients.
Reveal the magic of affiliate programs to make people share information about your practice and promote it. Reward these active participants of your marketing process who help you spot potential leads and provide referrals.
Reaching further and scaling your business up, experiment with an influencer marketing by investing in your brand promotion on a wider scale.
Once all marketing channels are involved, it is vital to track the effectiveness of your marketing campaigns and make the necessary adjustments. The shifts are often caused by external factors like market fluctuations or changing trends across niches.
