Frequently asked

I run a private practice, does this help?

Very much. A crawlable site stating your specialty and location helps assistants recommend you when someone asks for a physiotherapist like you.

Location or specialty first?

Both. Specialty makes you relevant, location makes you the answer to a local query. State them together.
