Physical therapy marketing agencies: what each one actually publishes
Six vendors the AI engines name when a clinic owner asks who to hire, plus me. One table, one rule: if it is not on their website, the cell says not disclosed.
How this page was built
Every fact links to the page it came from. Nothing is scored, ranked, or inferred. If a vendor does not publish something, the cell says not disclosed, and that is the finding. I am on the list too, with the same columns. Year-one totals are computed from each vendor's own published prices, twelve months plus any setup fee, ad spend excluded. Last checked August 24, 2026. If you run one of these companies and something here is wrong, email me and I will fix it the same day.

Ask each of us the same questions
Every column above is a question you can put to any agency in writing: what does it cost in year one, how long am I locked in, what exactly is guaranteed, what do I keep if I leave, and where can I read reviews you do not control. My answers are on the pricing page, including the ones that do not flatter me.
