The provider profile page gives each physical therapist a verifiable identity that AI can reference. When a patient asks about a specific PT's qualifications or treatment specialties, AI pulls from the structured data here to present your therapists as credentialed professionals.
Physical therapists have diverse specializations — orthopedic, sports, neurological, pelvic health. AI uses provider profile data to match patients with the therapist who specializes in their specific condition or rehabilitation need.

nameCopy 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.
You are implementing AIFDS-compliant JSON-LD structured data for a Physiotherapy Provider Profile 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. Board specialty 2. Domain 3. Faq answer 4. Faq question 5. Linkedin url 6. Practice name 7. Provider bio 8. Provider name 9. Provider photo 10. Provider slug 11. Pt school 12. Specialty certification name 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 Provider Profile" - 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 each provider profile page.
