Organizations Healthcare Physiotherapy

Homepage Blueprint — Physiotherapy Practice

The homepage is the identity anchor for a physical therapy practice. It tells AI systems who you are, what rehabilitation services you offer, where your clinic is, and when patients can schedule. Without this structured data, AI cannot confidently recommend your practice when someone searches for physical therapy nearby.

What this page needs

The homepage is where AI systems look first to understand your PT practice. It must declare your identity, location, treatment specialties, and hours. Patients searching for physical therapy often have specific conditions — your structured data must signal which conditions you treat.

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.
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.
priceRange
AI uses price range to set patient expectations. Helps filter recommendations by cost accessibility.
sameAs
AI cross-references sameAs links to confirm the practice exists outside its own domain. Healthcare directories are strong trust signals.
image
AI won't recommend a physical location it can't visually confirm exists. Image is a trust signal for healthcare facilities.
medicalSpecialty
AI uses specialty to match the practice to condition-specific queries. Without it AI cannot recommend for specialty searches.

WebSite

@id
All other schema nodes reference this ID. Without it the graph is disconnected.

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 · Homepage
You are implementing AIFDS-compliant JSON-LD structured data for a Physiotherapy Homepage 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. Facility image
4. Faq answer
5. Faq question
6. Homepage title
7. Latitude
8. Logo
9. Longitude
10. Maps cid
11. Page
12. Phone number
13. Practice description
14. Practice name
15. Price range
16. Profile
17. State
18. Street address
19. Weekday close
20. Weekday open
21. 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 Homepage"
- 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

Template — fill in your values

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 homepage.

Frequently asked questions

Should I use MedicalClinic or a more specific type?

Use MedicalClinic with "medicalSpecialty": "PhysicalTherapy". Schema.org also has a PhysicalTherapy type under MedicalSpecialty but MedicalClinic gives AI more organizational context — address, hours, contact points — that the specialty type alone does not support as fully.

Should I mention direct access in my structured data?

If your state allows direct access (patients can see a PT without a physician referral), include this in the practice description. "No referral needed" is a common search modifier, and AI uses this information to answer "do I need a referral for physical therapy?" — which can drive patients directly to your practice.

Should I list treatment modalities on the homepage?

Include key modalities (manual therapy, dry needling, aquatic therapy) in the practice description or as availableService entries. Patients often search for specific techniques — "dry needling physical therapy near me" — and AI needs this data to match your practice to modality-specific queries.
