How is this different from a normal SEO agency?

Agencies bill hours. We bill outcomes — 20 to 100+ medically reviewed pages every month at one transparent monthly price.

Do you actually rebuild my website?

Yes. A practicing MD founder oversees a new, conversion-optimized site published to your own GitHub repo. You own the code and domain and can leave anytime.

Is the content medically accurate?

Yes. Every page is reviewed for medical accuracy before it publishes, with optional provider and treatment copy review.

How long until I see results?

New patient calls typically in 30–60 days, meaningful ranking lifts in 60–120 days, compounding from month four.

Chiropractic

Chiropractic reputation & reviews are the whole ballgame in local search. Here's how to win them.

A new patient choosing a chiropractor doesn't read your homepage first — they scan the three practices in the Google map pack and pick the one with 200 reviews and a 4.9. If that's not you, everything downstream is harder: cash memberships, PI referrals, wellness-plan sign-ups. Reviews are the gate.

Chiropractic is one of the most review-sensitive specialties in all of healthcare. There's rarely an insurance-driven referral funneling patients to you — people search "chiropractor near me," look at the map pack, and choose based on star rating and review count. A practice with 240 reviews at 4.9 gets the click; the one three blocks away with 31 reviews at 4.3 gets skipped, even if the care is better. And because a chiropractic patient comes in 8, 20, sometimes 40+ times per care plan, you have more natural review-ask moments than almost any other provider — most practices just never systematize them. This page is the playbook for turning that visit volume into a review engine that wins the map pack, warms up auto/PI attorney referrals, and makes cash memberships an easy yes.

Why reviews decide who wins in chiropractic (more than any other specialty)

In most of medicine, a PCP or specialist referral does the selling. Chiropractic doesn't work that way — the patient self-refers, and their entire decision happens inside the Google map pack. Google weights review count, star rating, review recency, and keyword-rich review text heavily when deciding which three practices show up there. That means your reputation isn't just social proof; it's literally a ranking input. The practice with more recent, keyword-rich reviews ('great for sciatica,' 'helped after my car accident') outranks the one with a dusty 4.6 and no new reviews in six months. For a cash-based or membership-driven practice with no insurance referral pipeline, the map pack is the pipeline — and reviews are what get you into it.

The review moments a chiropractic practice is wasting

Your care plan is a built-in review-generation schedule that almost no practice actually uses. The best moments to ask: right after the re-exam where the patient sees objective improvement, after they hit a milestone ('first pain-free morning in years'), and when a wellness-plan or membership patient renews. These are peak-goodwill moments — and a chiropractic patient hits several of them per care plan. Surge automates a timed, HIPAA-conscious ask (text or email) triggered off these moments, routes the 5-star intent straight to Google and the lukewarm feedback to a private form so you can fix it before it goes public. Done right, a practice seeing 150–200 patient visits a week can realistically add 15–30 new reviews a month instead of the two or three that trickle in by accident.

Reputation that converts PI attorneys and cash memberships — not just patients

Reviews don't only win new patients; they win referral sources and higher-value case types. Personal-injury and auto attorneys vet the chiropractors they refer accident cases to — a strong, recent review profile with PI-specific language ('documented my whiplash injury,' 'thorough accident exam') signals a practice that handles the paperwork and follow-through those cases demand. On the cash side, wellness plans and monthly memberships ask patients to trust you with recurring out-of-pocket dollars; a wall of authentic reviews is the single most persuasive proof point on that decision. Surge also mines your review text for the phrases patients actually use, then feeds them into your service and location pages so 'auto accident chiropractor in [city]' and 'wellness care membership' rank — reputation and SEO compounding on each other.

Frequently asked

Can I ask patients for reviews without violating HIPAA?

Yes — the ask itself is fine as long as you don't disclose that someone is a patient in a public setting or reference their specific condition. The care must be taken on your side, in how you respond publicly. Never confirm treatment details in a review reply. Surge's request flow is built to stay on the safe side: private, patient-initiated posting, and reply templates that thank the person warmly without confirming any protected health information.

What do I do about the negative or fake reviews I already have?

Two tracks. Legitimate negatives get a calm, professional public reply (no PHI) plus a private path to resolve it — which often converts the reviewer or at least shows future patients you handle issues well. Clearly fake or defamatory reviews get flagged for removal through Google's process. But the highest-leverage move is almost always volume: steadily adding 15–30 authentic new reviews a month buries an old 1-star far faster than fighting each one, and it pulls your overall rating back up quickly.
