A sample copy audit of a
typical chiropractic website.
Before we chase rankings, we read every page. These are the statements we flag most often, adapted from the examples Ahpra publishes for chiropractors.
- High
Chiropractic can help with asthma, ear infections and boosting immunity.
Ahpra lists claims like this as not supported by acceptable evidence.
We write: pages on the musculoskeletal problems you see, each explaining the approach.
- High
Gentle adjustments for babies with colic or reflux.
The Board’s revised Statement on paediatric care says chiropractors should not use spinal manipulation to treat children under two.
We remove: infant manipulation content. Any children’s page waits for your review against the statement.
- High
Regular spinal checks keep your family healthy for life.
Encouraging regular treatment without clinical need or evidence is flagged as promoting unnecessary use of services.
We write: what a first visit involves, with no maintenance or prevention promises.
- Medium
My back pain is much improved after five sessions.
A patient review copied onto a service pageA positive statement about a clinical outcome is a testimonial and can’t be used in your advertising.
We move: reviews to Google, where they help rankings, and keep them off your pages.
- Medium
Meet Dr Sarah Jones.
“Dr” isn’t protected, but non-medical practitioners using it should state their profession.
We write: “Dr Sarah Jones (chiropractor)” on every profile.
- Low
New patient special, first visit only.
Offers must state clear terms, and prices should be the total price.
We write: the full first-visit fee, with terms on the same page.

Chiropractor SEO questions.
What is SEO for chiropractors?
SEO for chiropractors is the work of getting a chiropractic clinic found on Google Maps, Google search and AI answers by people nearby, so more of them book. It covers your Business Profile, reviews, location and service pages, compliant copy and tracking.
How much does chiropractic SEO cost?
Chiropractic SEO with Humming Web sits between $1,000 and $5,000 monthly. Where a clinic lands depends on how many locations need their own pages and profiles, and how many competing clinics show for "chiropractor near me" in your suburbs. One clinic in a quieter area is at the lower end. Local SEO starts from $780/month.
How long does SEO take for a chiropractor?
Most clinics see Business Profile gains within weeks and map pack movement in 60 to 90 days. Organic rankings for service and suburb pages usually build over 3 to 6 months, longer in dense city areas.
Can chiropractors advertise treating children?
Only with great care. The Chiropractic Board's Statement on paediatric care says chiropractors should not use spinal manipulation to treat children under two, and Ahpra's examples flag claims about children's conditions. We hold any children's page until you've reviewed it.
Can we use patient testimonials on our website?
No, not testimonials about clinical aspects such as symptoms, treatment or results. Ahpra allows comments about non-clinical things, like customer service, if they're complete and unedited. Reviews on Google can stay, and still help your map pack ranking.
Should a chiropractor use "Dr" online?
Yes, if you state your profession beside it. Ahpra says "Dr" isn't a protected title, but non-medical practitioners who use it should make their profession clear, such as "Dr Jones (chiropractor)".
Do I need a chiropractic-only SEO agency?
No. You need a team that knows local search and reads the advertising rules before writing. Ask any agency how they handle testimonials, children's care and condition claims, and judge them on the answer.
How much of chiropractic search is "near me"?
Most of it. About 82% of the chiropractic searches we tabled include "near me", led by "chiropractor near me" at about 14,800 a month in Australia. That makes the map pack, accurate hours and a well-kept Business Profile the main levers, with suburb pages helping in nearby areas.
How should a chiropractor reply to Google reviews?
Thank the patient briefly and never repeat or add clinical claims. Ahpra warns that engaging with reviews on third-party sites needs care, so a short reply such as "Thanks, we're glad you felt looked after" is safer than confirming a treatment outcome. Never confirm someone is a patient unless they have said so themselves.
