Occupational Therapy Practices

Parents searching for a pediatric OT and adults recovering from surgery need to find you before they find a waiting list 6 months long.

Most OT practices run on referrals and never build a direct search presence — so the patients who find you first are often the ones who already waited months somewhere else. AVBOOST builds the Google Map Pack presence, Healthgrades profile, and condition-specific visibility that puts your practice in front of families and post-surgical patients who are ready to start now.

Your caseload runs on referrals. The parents and post-surgical patients searching Google right now have no way to find you.

01
Referral-Only Flow With No Organic Search Strategy
OT practices that rely entirely on physician and school referrals have no direct line to the parent who Googles "pediatric occupational therapist near me" at 10pm, or the hand surgery patient whose orthopedist didn't specify a rehab practice. These are motivated patients ready to schedule immediately — and they're being captured by whoever has a complete Google profile and a position in the Map Pack.
02
Insurance Panel Visibility Controls Your Discoverability
Parents searching Healthgrades for a pediatric OT filter by insurance before anything else. If your accepted insurance plans aren't prominently listed on your Healthgrades profile and your Google Business Profile, you're invisible to the most insurance-conscious segment of the market. A full insurance and panel listing — prominently displayed across every directory — immediately expands the pool of patients who can find and book you.
03
Google Profile Doesn't List Therapy Types
A GBP that says "occupational therapist" without listing specific conditions — sensory processing disorder, fine motor delay, hand therapy, cognitive rehab, stroke recovery, ADL training — ranks for generic searches but misses every high-intent, condition-specific query. When a parent Googles "sensory processing OT Phoenix" or "hand therapy after carpal tunnel surgery," they need to find your practice specifically. A fully built service list makes that possible.

★★★★★

"We were getting 5 self-referred patients a month — everything else was school referrals and pediatricians. AVBOOST rebuilt our Google profile with every condition we treat, set up our Healthgrades listing with insurance panels, and put a review system in place at discharge. Three months later we're at 18 self-referred evaluations a month. We added a second OT and we're still running near capacity."

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost, and am I locked into a contract?

Pricing starts around a flat monthly fee with no setup costs and no long-term contract. You give 30 days notice to cancel, that's it. The monthly covers Google Business Profile optimization, Healthgrades and directory profiles, condition-specific content, and your review system. We scope it on a free strategy call so you see exactly what you'd pay before committing to anything.

How long until I start seeing more self-referred evaluations?

Most OT practices see movement within 30 to 60 days as the Google Business Profile and Healthgrades work goes live and reviews start coming in at discharge. Map Pack Top 3 placement typically lands in the first couple of months, depending on your market's competition. Self-referred booking growth builds steadily from there as your specialty listings and review profile mature.

What do you actually do each month for my practice?

We build and maintain your Google Business Profile with every specialty listed, from pediatric sensory processing to adult hand therapy and stroke recovery. We optimize your Healthgrades and Psychology Today profiles with insurance panels displayed, write condition-specific content for parent searches, run a HIPAA-compliant review system at discharge, and send a monthly report on self-referred bookings, review velocity, and Map Pack rank.

How is AVBOOST different from a big agency or doing this myself?

Big agencies hand OT practices a generic template that says occupational therapist and stops there. We list the actual conditions you treat so the parent searching sensory processing OT or hand therapy after carpal tunnel finds you specifically. Doing it yourself means GBP, Healthgrades, content, and reviews on top of a full caseload. We own all of it and report results monthly.

Can your review system stay HIPAA-compliant given patient privacy rules?

Yes. Our review acquisition is built around discharge-timed requests that never expose protected health information or treatment details. We invite patients to share their experience through compliant channels rather than pulling anything from records. The same care applies to your profiles and content, which describe the conditions you treat without referencing any individual patient. Most practices reach a strong review score this way within a few months.

What's the first step to get started?

It starts with a free 20-minute strategy call. We audit your Google Business Profile for specialty and condition completeness, check your Map Pack ranking for occupational therapist searches in your city, review your Healthgrades insurance visibility, and look at your review score. You'll see exactly what parents and post-surgical patients find when they search, with no obligation to move forward.

Ready to Build the Direct Patient Pipeline Your Referral Network Can't Provide?

No contracts. No setup fees. 30 days' notice to cancel — that's it.
