AI marketing for outpatient PT clinics
Somebody in your town is searching their shoulder pain right now and does not know they can book you without seeing a doctor first. Flo writes the page that tells them.
The referral pattern you rely on is set by physicians who are increasingly employed by systems with their own clinics.
Found directly, not only referred.
They can call you first, and they do not know it
Direct access exists in some form everywhere in the country and the public has never been told. Meanwhile the physicians who refer to you are being acquired by health systems that own their own therapy clinics, which makes the referral pipeline a thinner thing to stand on every year.
Patients Assume They Need A Referral
A right the profession won and never advertised.
Referral Sources Consolidating
Physicians employed by systems with in-house therapy.
Week Three Dropouts
Plans abandoned once the pain eases and life resumes.
Nobody Answers The Symptom Search
People describing their pain to Google at midnight.
Four apps, one clinic, no blank page
You correct a draft instead of facing a blank page, and the voice sharpens each time.

What MoFlo accounts in other industries have measured
Other medical and dental practices we set up differently
A multi-market chain and a mobile therapist run different setups, so they do not get this page.
Marketing by company size
The same platform, framed by how many locations you run, not by what you treat.
You have questions. We have answers.
The five that come up before an outpatient clinic signs.
Will explaining direct access annoy our referrers?
It has not in practice. Physicians refer for clinical reasons and patients who self-refer are usually ones who would not have gone to a doctor at all. You are adding a channel rather than taking one.
What should we write about?
One injury at a time, in the words patients use. Not shoulder impingement, but why it hurts to reach behind my back. That is the phrase people actually type and almost no clinic writes it.
How do we stop people quitting at week three?
Reach them in week three. Something short about why the remaining sessions matter, sent when the pain has eased and motivation has gone, recovers a meaningful share of them.
Our referral sources are being bought up.
Which is the strongest reason to build a channel you control. A clinic that patients can find and book directly does not need to win back a referral pattern that a corporate acquisition just rewrote.
What does it cost for a clinic?
MoMail is $79/mo and MoReviews $99/mo. MoSocial and MoBlogs are $149/mo each, and all four together are $299/mo, free for a week and no contract. Most clinics start with MoBlogs, since the symptom search is where the new patients are.
