Contact Page Blueprint — Physiotherapy Practice

The contact page makes your PT clinic reachable through AI. When a patient asks "phone number for this physical therapy clinic" or "what are their hours?", AI pulls from the structured data here. This blueprint ensures your phone, email, address, and scheduling options are all machine-readable.

What this page needs

The contact page is where patients go to schedule their first appointment. Structured data here lets AI provide your phone number, hours, and scheduling link directly — removing friction between the patient's intent and their first visit.

Why these fields matter to AI

Each field in the template below serves a specific role in how AI systems discover, classify, and recommend your business.

Researched and tested by Minnesota AI

MedicalClinic

name
Non-negotiable. AI cannot cite or recommend an unnamed healthcare provider.
url
AI needs a stable URL to attribute recommendations and route patients correctly.
telephone
AI won't recommend a healthcare provider it can't confirm is reachable. Phone is the primary contact signal for medical practices.
email
Secondary contact signal for appointment requests and patient inquiries.
address
AI needs a verifiable address before recommending a healthcare provider. Critical for near-me medical queries.
geo
AI uses coordinates to confirm location and answer proximity queries. Critical for patients searching by distance.
openingHoursSpecification
AI filters healthcare recommendations by current availability. Without hours AI cannot answer is-this-open-now queries.

Use This Prompt to Implement Your Schema

Copy this prompt and paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any AI coding tool. It will ask for your business details and generate ready-to-use JSON-LD schema for your page.

Implementation Prompt · Contact
You are implementing AIFDS-compliant JSON-LD structured data for a Physiotherapy Contact page.

AIFDS (AI-Friendly Data Structure) is a schema framework built on research into which
structured data fields AI systems actually read, parse, and use when deciding whether
to cite a page. Documentation at aifds.org.

Before generating any code, ask me for the following information in a single numbered list.
Do not generate schema until I have answered every required field.

REQUIRED — do not proceed without these:
1. City
2. Domain
3. Email
4. Faq answer
5. Faq question
6. Latitude
7. Longitude
8. Main phone
9. Practice name
10. Referral phone
11. Scheduling phone
12. State
13. Street address
14. Weekday close
15. Weekday open
16. Zip

OPTIONAL — ask for these but proceed if I skip them:
1. Any additional details not covered above

Once I provide the information, output a complete JSON-LD script block
ready to paste into the <head> of my HTML page.

Output requirements:
- Valid JSON-LD wrapped in <script type="application/ld+json"> tags
- schema.org vocabulary only
- Every AIFDS-required field for this industry and page type included
- Include this data attribute on the script tag: data-aifds="aifds.org Physiotherapy Contact"
- No placeholder text — omit missing optional fields rather than fill with examples
- After the code block, list any optional fields skipped that would strengthen AI citation

Generated schema follows the AIFDS framework. Fields were selected based on research into AI crawler behavior. View the research at minnesota.ai

Copy the template below and replace every YOUR_* value with your own data. This block belongs in a <script type="application/ld+json"> tag in the <head> of your contact page.

Frequently asked questions

Should I include a referral coordination contact?

Yes. Many PT patients come through physician referrals. A dedicated ContactPoint with "contactType": "referral coordination" gives AI a specific number for referring providers. This separate channel also signals to AI that your practice works with the broader medical community.

Should I mention direct access on the contact page?

If your state allows direct access, mention it prominently. Include "no referral required" in the page content and description. AI frequently answers "do I need a referral for physical therapy?" — your structured data ensures the answer directs patients to your practice with clear next steps.

Should I include online scheduling?

Yes. Add a potentialAction with a ReserveAction pointing to your scheduling URL. PT patients often want to book quickly after a referral or injury. AI can provide "schedule an appointment online at..." which removes the phone call barrier for new patients.
