Physiotherapy clinics · Buyer persona
Write down whether the patient, the surgeon or the adult child is deciding.
A buyer persona for a physiotherapy clinic describes who actually decides. A young sports injury patient decides for themselves, a post-surgical patient often follows a surgeon's suggestion, and an elderly parent's care is often arranged by an adult child. GullySales builds a persona per priority condition.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What buyer persona means
A buyer persona is a plain description of the kind of customer who actually buys from you. It includes what they search, what worries them and who else they ask before deciding. GullySales builds this from real enquiries and past sales rather than a generic template, then uses it to write every page and advert.

Sales and marketing for physiotherapy clinics, the overview.
Last updated 5 Oct 2026. Rules for this trade differ by state and professional body, and they change. We describe restrictions in general terms, so check the current position with your own council or adviser before you publish anything.
For physiotherapy clinics
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The referring surgeon is a persona in their own right”
A surgeon cares about communication back to them and patient outcomes, not the clinic's décor or general marketing.
“The adult child persona searches on behalf of an ageing parent”
A son or daughter arranging home-visit physiotherapy for a parent after a fall reads reviews and calls on their own schedule.
“The athlete persona wants speed and a return-to-play timeline”
A sports injury patient wants to know when they can play again, and the messaging needs to answer that directly.
What we do
What we deliver for physiotherapy clinics.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Referring surgeon persona and update plan
A written profile of what a referring surgeon needs back, mainly outcome updates and easy communication, not marketing material.
Result: A surgeon's office knows exactly what to expect after sending a patient.
Adult-child caregiver persona
A profile of the son or daughter arranging home-visit or elderly care for a parent, including what they check before calling.
Result: Content answers the caregiver's questions, not only the patient's.
Athlete and sports-injury persona
A profile built around a patient's return-to-play questions and the tone that answers them directly.
Result: A sports injury patient finds the specific reassurance they are searching for.
A persona for each priority condition
One persona per priority condition, built from your existing enquiry and referral patterns.
Result: Content and outreach speak to the right patient for each condition.
How the result is measured
- Enquiry match to persona
- Conversion rate by persona
- Content aligned to persona
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
A persona card for this patient
Here is a typical card for the desk worker with back or neck pain that keeps returning.
An example, not a fact about your patients. Compare each line with your intake forms and the reasons patients give for stopping, and rewrite what does not fit.
- Who they are
- Typical: an office worker with back or neck pain that comes and goes, who has already seen a doctor and taken tablets. Check against your intake forms by occupation.
- What starts the search
- Typical: a bad week at work, pain that wakes them at night, or a scan report with a frightening word. Add a first-visit question on why they came now.
- What worries them
- Typical: being asked to come for many sessions with no end in sight, and a painful first visit. Read what patients say when they stop coming.
- What they compare you with
- Typical: a chiropractor, a massage centre, painkillers from the chemist and a gym trainer. Ask what else they tried.
- Who else decides
- Typical: the employer who allows time off, a spouse who drives them and the doctor who requested the scan. Ask who is paying and whether insurance covers physiotherapy.
- What makes them say yes
- Typical: a plain explanation of what is wrong, a plan with a visible end and slots outside office hours. Ask patients who finished a course which of these mattered.

How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
First
Your brief
You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.
After the brief
A conversation and a written scope
We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.
Before work starts
Baseline recorded
The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.
After the baseline
The first fix goes live
The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.
As agreed
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.
At renewal
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.
How the buyer persona work runs
- 1
Understand the current view
We start with how your team currently describes the customer, since the gap between belief and reality is often the finding itself.
- 2
Audit past enquiries and sales
We look at recent enquiries and closed deals to see who actually bought, not who was assumed to buy.
- 3
Interview customers and staff
Short, structured conversations surface the real language, worries and triggers behind a purchase.
- 4
Build the personas
Findings are written into short, usable persona documents rather than a long report.
- 5
Apply to your marketing
We show exactly where each persona should change a page, an ad or a script you already have.
Proof
What happened when owners fixed this.
Real clients, the work we did, and the result as it was recorded. Where no number was recorded, none is claimed.
Kerur Pain Clinic
- Situation
- The clinic had no website setting out its services, so a patient weighing it up had nothing to read before deciding to come in.
- What we did
- Competitors mapped
- A website that answers the patient
- On-page and local search work
- Link building and technical fixes
- Result
- No numbers were recorded for this engagement. The work is described in full in the case study.

The fee in writing, split three ways
Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.
