About PT Marketing Nerds

A Small Team Dedicated to Growing Your Practice

Fifteen years ago we started AdWords Nerds to help real-estate investors win at Google Ads. Hundreds of clients and ten million dollars in managed spend later, we built PT Marketing Nerds for an industry we love: physical therapy.

How we got here

The short version.

Dan started AdWords Nerds in 2011 to bring rigor, ethical service, and attention to detail to the PPC industry.

Andrew brings the physical therapy experience. He has coached dozens of physical therapists and helped them grow their businesses. He understands the industry, from billing to hiring and beyond, and helps clients optimize the whole business.

PT Marketing Nerdsis the result of everything we've learned in 15 years of online marketing and coaching pointed at the practitioners who help people feel good again.

What we believe

The four house rules.

Rigor, not theater

We A/B test the things that matter and ignore the things that do not. Dashboards exist to drive decisions — not to look impressive in a PDF.

Plain English, always

You should not need a CMO to understand your marketing report. We translate the nerdy stuff into plain language and clear next moves.

Honest about who does what

Andrew is the coach in your corner, making sure every part of your business gets better — not just the marketing campaigns.

Outcomes over outputs

We do not measure success in impressions or deliverables shipped. We measure it in booked patients and clinic revenue.

Meet your team.

PT Marketing Nerds gives you the best of both worlds. We bring a world-class online marketing team and high-level business coaching to grow not just your front end but your back end.
