AflahTech builds the local SEO system that puts physiotherapy clinics at the top of Google — so when someone with a bad back or a sports injury searches “physio near me”, they book with you, not the chain or the private hospital.

See exactly how both promises work in the small print — no surprises.
Your Patients Love You. New Ones Can’t Find You.
Self-pay patients rarely wait for a GP referral. They search, compare the top three clinics on the map, and book whoever looks most credible.
Buried below the chains
National physio chains and private hospitals have huge websites. Without local SEO, the independent clinic gets pushed off the map.
Gaps in the diary
Clinicians on the payroll with empty slots. Every unfilled appointment is revenue you never get back.
Invisible for premium treatments
You offer injections, shockwave or specialist rehab, but Google only shows you for basic “physio” searches — if at all.
Reliant on insurers & referrals
Insurer rates squeeze your margin. A steady flow of self-pay patients from Google gives you control back.
Reviews that don’t keep up
Patients leave happy but rarely review unprompted — and you need to reply without breaching confidentiality.
Generic agencies
Agencies that do not understand healthcare advertising rules, clinical terms or how patients actually choose a clinic.

Questions Clinic Owners Ask Us
Can an independent clinic really outrank private hospitals?
Yes. Hospital groups have powerful websites, but Google Maps rankings depend heavily on how relevant and local your profile is to the search. Physio-Soton has a domain authority of 15 out of 100 against 59 and 62 for two national private hospitals, yet ranks above both for private cortisone and Arthrosamid injections in Southampton.
Can you help us rank for specific treatments, not just “physio”?
Yes, and it is often where the best margins are. We build out your profile services and treatment pages for injections, shockwave, acupuncture, sports massage and specialist rehab, then track each as its own keyword in the grid report.
How do you handle patient confidentiality in reviews?
Carefully. Owner replies never confirm that the reviewer was a patient, never mention a condition or treatment, and never include clinical details, even if the patient mentioned them first. We agree a reply style with you at the start.
How long does it take to rank?
Most clinics see measurable movement within 30 to 60 days of the profile rebuild and first wave of activity. Competitive terms in a city, or treatments that hospitals also target, usually take three to six months to hold consistently. We baseline your rankings on day one and back the work with a 90-day ranking promise.
We have more than one clinic. Can you manage all of them?
Yes. Each clinic location gets its own Google Business Profile and location page, set up so they rank in their own catchment rather than competing with each other.
Do you work with other clinics near us?
We take on one clinic per area for each specialty, so we are never trying to rank two clients for the same searches. If we already work with a clinic near you, we will tell you on the first call.
How much does it cost?
It depends on how competitive your area is, how many treatments you want to rank for and how many locations you have, so we price after the free audit. It runs on a 30-day rolling agreement. For most clinics, a handful of new self-pay patients a month covers the fee.
What happens on the free Maps audit?
We run a local search grid for your three most important searches, compare your profile with the clinics and hospitals beating you, and walk you through what is holding you back. It takes about 20 minutes, and you keep the report whether or not you work with us.
