Not Just SEO — Search Everywhere Optimization.
Built Exclusively for Chiropractic Practices
Most SEO agencies treat chiropractic like any other local business. They run the same playbook they use for plumbers and dentists, swap in the word “chiropractor,” and call it specialized. The results reflect exactly that.
DCRank is different at the foundation level. This agency was built by a chiropractor, for chiropractors — and the difference isn’t a marketing angle. It’s in every strategy, every piece of content, and every optimization decision we make on behalf of the practices we work with.
We don’t do traditional Search Engine Optimization. We do Search Everywhere Optimization — a three-phase approach that makes chiropractic practices visible wherever patients are searching today: Google organic results, Google Maps, and the AI-powered platforms — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Claude, and Gemini — that are rapidly reshaping how patients choose their healthcare providers.
If you want to understand exactly what that looks like in practice, our chiropractic SEO services page covers the full approach. This page is about who we are and why we built it this way.
Meet Dr. Patrick MacNamara
Chiropractor • SEO Strategist • Digital Marketing Expert
Dr. Patrick MacNamara founded DCRank after more than two decades at the intersection of chiropractic and digital marketing — a combination that very few people in either field can claim from both sides.
His path started where most DCRank clients are right now: running a chiropractic practice and trying to figure out how to get patients through the door consistently. He didn’t outsource that problem — he learned search engine optimization from the ground up, applied it to his own clinic, and built a practice that ranked and converted. When he sold that practice, he had already spent years teaching other chiropractors how to do the same thing.
That first-hand experience — operating a practice, navigating Google’s algorithm changes, building a patient-generating website before most chiropractors knew what a meta description was — is the foundation everything at DCRank is built on. It’s also what separates a strategist who understands the profession from one who’s simply studied it.
Over the past 20+ years, Dr. MacNamara has worked with hundreds of chiropractors across the United States, helping practices at every stage — from new graduates building their first online presence to established multi-location clinics competing in saturated markets. Today, DCRank’s focus is exclusively on the U.S. market.
He is the founder of an interconnected ecosystem of chiropractic marketing resources — each one built to solve a specific problem chiropractors face in digital marketing:
- Blogging Chiropractors — done-for-you content production for chiropractic practices
- Chiropractic Marketing Websites — chiropractic website design built for search and AI visibility
- Chiropractic Marketing Podcast — ongoing education on chiropractic digital marketing strategy
- ChiropracticMarketing.us — comprehensive marketing training for chiropractors
- Next Generation Chiropractor — resources and education for the profession
That ecosystem isn’t incidental — it’s the reason DCRank clients benefit from a depth of chiropractic-specific knowledge that no generalist agency can replicate.

Why Chiropractors Work with DCRank
We are chiropractic — not chiropractic-adjacent. DCRank was founded by a chiropractor who ran a practice, built its online presence, and sold it. That isn’t a credential we borrowed from a client relationship. It’s lived experience, and it shapes every recommendation we make.
20+ years of SEO experience — through every major shift. We’ve been doing this since before Google Maps existed. Every algorithm update, every platform change, every industry shift — we’ve navigated it and adapted our strategies each time. That depth of institutional knowledge is what separates a long-term strategic partner from an agency running last year’s playbook.
We work exclusively with chiropractors. We don’t serve dentists, attorneys, or home service companies. Every strategy, every piece of content, and every data point in our competitive intelligence comes from the chiropractic market specifically. That specialization means we understand the competitive landscape in your area — and your patients — better than any generalist agency ever could.
We’re ahead of the curve on AI search. Most SEO agencies are still optimizing for Google’s algorithm and calling it a complete strategy. We’ve been building AI-optimized content structures since before most agencies acknowledged that AI search was a real patient acquisition channel. The Generative Engine Optimization methodology behind Phase 3 of our service model isn’t something we added to keep up — it’s a core competency we developed because we saw the shift coming.
The ecosystem is the advantage. DCRank is part of an interconnected network of chiropractic marketing resources. That network produces content through Blogging Chiropractors, builds sites through Chiropractic Marketing Websites, and educates through the Chiropractic Marketing Podcast and ChiropracticMarketing.us. When you work with DCRank, you’re not just getting an agency — you’re getting access to an infrastructure that was built specifically for the profession.
The Three-Phase Approach
DCRank’s service model is built around three phases, each one designed to deliver value independently and amplify the impact of the phases around it.
Phase 1 — Google Business Profile Management. Complete, ongoing optimization and management of your Google Business Profile — the single highest-leverage marketing asset a chiropractor has. Review management, weekly posts, photo strategy, citation cleanup, and monthly grid reporting. This is where the fastest visibility impact happens, and it’s the foundation everything else builds on.
Phase 2 — Website Optimization. Full technical SEO audit and remediation, on-page optimization, local SEO signals, and structured data — all aligned with your Google Business Profile so your entire online presence is sending consistent, clear relevance signals to search engines. For practices that need a purpose-built site, Chiropractic Marketing Websites handles chiropractic website design built specifically for today’s search landscape.
Phase 3 — GEO for AI. Deep condition and service content silos, LLM-structured content, and topical authority building designed to make your practice the answer when patients — or AI platforms — are looking for a chiropractor. This is what positions your practice in ChatGPT recommendations, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity results, and the AI-generated answers that are increasingly shaping where patients go first.
