Our plan

What we'd prioritize for a Decatur practice

Chosen by fixed rules from the figures above.

  1. A crowded field for physical therapists

    Decatur has 3.6 times the US number of NPI-registered physical therapists per resident, one for every 324 residents. A clear focus and real reviews matter for a physical therapist here; see our marketing for physical therapists.

  2. Detailed treatment pages first

    76.3% of Decatur residents aged 25 and older hold a bachelor's degree or higher, against 35.7% for the US. Detailed treatment pages come first, and the SEO work builds on them.

  3. Put elective and cash-pay services first

    Decatur has a median household income of $139,397; the US median is $80,734. We would give elective work its own pages and budget, backed by Google and Facebook ads.

  4. Start with reviews and the Google Business Profile

    Decatur has one NPI-registered dentist for every 972 residents, against one per 1,340 nationally. We would start with the Google Business Profile and review management.
