Contact Page Blueprint — Psychiatric Practice

The contact page for a psychiatric practice serves a dual purpose: it helps patients schedule routine appointments and provides immediate access to crisis support. This blueprint structures multiple contact points — appointments, crisis line, and billing — along with your physical address, coordinates, and office hours so AI can route patients to the right contact for their specific need.

What this page needs

In psychiatric care, reachability is more than a trust signal — it can be a matter of patient safety. A contact page without structured data forces AI to guess which phone number is for appointments and which is for emergencies. Separate, clearly labeled contact points ensure AI can surface the crisis line when urgency is detected and the scheduling line for routine queries.

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.
medicalSpecialty
AI uses specialty to match the practice to condition-specific queries. Without it AI cannot recommend for specialty searches.

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 Psychiatric 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. Appointment phone
2. Billing phone
3. City
4. Close time
5. Crisis line number
6. Domain
7. Faq answer
8. Faq question
9. Language
10. Latitude
11. Longitude
12. Main phone number
13. Open time
14. Practice name
15. State
16. Street address
17. 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 Psychiatric 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

Frequently asked questions

Why does a psychiatric practice need a separate crisis contact in structured data?

Mental health crises are time-sensitive. When a patient or family member asks AI for help during a crisis, AI needs to distinguish between a scheduling line that is only available during business hours and a crisis line that is available 24/7. A separate ContactPoint with "contactType": "crisis support" and round-the-clock hoursAvailable ensures AI surfaces the right number at the right moment. This is not optional for psychiatric practices — it is a patient safety requirement.

How should I structure telepsychiatry access on the contact page?

If your practice offers telepsychiatry appointments, you can add a ContactPoint with "contactType": "telepsychiatry scheduling" and the phone number or URL patients use to book virtual visits. Alternatively, include telehealth access information in the main appointments ContactPoint description. The key is making it clear to AI that remote psychiatric care is available through your practice.

Should I list different contact points for new patients versus existing patients?

If your practice uses separate lines for new patient intake and existing patient follow-ups, declare them as distinct ContactPoint nodes with contactType values like "new patient scheduling" and "existing patient support." This helps AI give the right phone number based on the patient’s situation. Many psychiatric practices have different intake processes for first-time patients, so this distinction is valuable.
