Send every patient a quick text with a direct link to your Google review page, ideally after a visit where they felt real improvement. Ask consistently, never offer incentives and reply without mentioning anyone's care or health details.
Chiropractic patients often visit several times, which gives you natural moments to ask. A good time is after a visit where the patient mentions they feel better, or at the end of a care plan. An automated text from your scheduling software with a direct link makes it simple for them to follow through. Train your front desk to mention the text at checkout so patients expect it. A short, friendly heads up makes people much more likely to respond, and it takes seconds.
Ask everyone the same way. Selecting only the happiest patients goes against Google's guidelines and does not build a natural profile. Do not offer free adjustments, discounts or raffles in exchange for reviews. Steady, honest reviews over time look much stronger than a sudden burst. Keep the request short. One or two sentences and a link is enough. You can invite patients to mention what brought them in, which naturally leads to reviews that help you rank for conditions like sciatica or neck pain, as long as you never pressure them to share health details.
When you reply, keep it warm and general. Thank them for the kind words, but do not confirm they are a patient or mention their condition. For negative reviews, stay calm and invite them to call the office. Reviews that mention specific problems and good experiences are what AI engines quote when recommending clinics. Also spread your efforts across a few key sites like Google, Yelp and Healthgrades rather than only one. Different patients check different platforms, and AI engines read all of them when deciding which clinics to recommend.
Send the site over. We will tell you what is broken, what you could rank for, and whether AI search knows you exist. No charge and no pitch deck.
