Bristol Physiotherapy Digital Visibility Index — Q3-2026

Not every firm could be measured on every pillar (Q3-2026)

7 of the firms below are missing at least one pillar: Speed & CWV (56 of 62), Content & trust (57 of 62). Where a pillar could not be measured for a firm it is excluded from that firm’s score and its remaining weights are renormalised, rather than scored zero — so those firms are ranked on less evidence than the rest, and their position should be read with that in mind. Affected: Melanie Noble - Osteopathy & movement, Body and Mind Physio, Portland Therapy Centre, Ethereal Health - Chiropractic and Wellbeing Services, The Batch Clinic, TIFA Health, Avon Osteopathy. See the methodology.

The PYC Bristol Physiotherapy Digital Visibility Index ranks 62 bristol physiotherapys on how well they perform online — website speed, technical SEO, local presence, search visibility, AI search presence and content & trust — each scored 0–100 to a single Digital Visibility Score. Measured 1 September 2026 to the published methodology.

As of Q3-2026, 13% of the 56 bristol physiotherapys measured on Speed & Core Web Vitals score below 50 on mobile (PYC Bristol Physiotherapy Digital Visibility Index, measured 1 September 2026).

Search visibility against AI presence

Search visibility against AI search presence. The dashed diagonal is parity; a firm far from it is strong in one channel and weak in the other.

horizontal: search visibility →   vertical: AI presence ↑

Bristol Back Pain Clinic is the widest split: AI engines name it far more readily than search surfaces it (AI 60, visibility 8) — brand without search. Those are different problems behind a similar overall score.

Reputation: reviews against rating

Google review volume (log scale) against average rating. Bubble size is review count. The rating axis starts at 4.4 so the cluster is readable; one firm rated below that sits on the floor, drawn hollow and named.

horizontal: reviews (log) →   vertical: rating ↑

Review volume spans 1 to 406 and ratings 4.2 to 5, yet the Local pillar separates these firms by only 41 points — the raw figures discriminate where the score does not. Most reviews: Comfort Health (406). Highest rating: 37 firms tied at 5.

Local pack coverage across the city

Local 3-pack for “physiotherapy near me” searched from 9 points on a 3×3 grid across a 7.5-mile square centred on 51.455, -2.588.

What the register says this cohort is

Companies House matched 9 of 62 businesses on an exact name with a corroborating registered address. Firms are seeded by trading name, which is how a business presents itself rather than what it is registered to do — so the mix below is often broader than the index title suggests. A company may register several SIC codes, so these counts sum to more than the number of firms. Median company age is 11.9 years, ranging from 2 to 23.5. Recorded alongside the measurement and carrying no weight in any score.

Which bristol physiotherapy has the best website?

Bristol Physio tops the Q3-2026 index with a Digital Visibility Score of 76/100. Each firm has a full diagnostic scorecard linked from the table above.

How this is measured

Every score follows the same six-pillar methodology: Speed & Core Web Vitals (20%), Technical foundation (20%), Local presence (20%), Visibility (15%), AI search presence (15%) and Content & trust (10%). Each pillar links to the knowledge-base article that explains what it measures; the statistical methods behind the scoring are written up separately. Download the full dataset: JSON · CSV.

Who publishes this

The index is compiled and published by PYC, a search consultancy run by Phil Yarrow. It exists because the questions it answers — who is actually visible in a local market, and by how much — were being answered with opinion. The collection and scoring code is open source, so any figure here can be recomputed rather than taken on trust.

Related reading on the practice behind the measurements: topical authority, generative engine optimisation, and case studies from comparable service businesses.

This dataset is published under CC BY 4.0. You may reuse it, including commercially and in AI-generated answers, provided you credit Phil Yarrow (PYC) by name and link back. That credit is a condition of use, not a courtesy.
