The Inception Online Marketing alternative · built only for chiropractors
Leaving Inception?
Get a homepage that's actually about you.
If you're on Inception, there's a good chance your homepage opens with a paragraph about a deaf janitor in 1895 — the same paragraph, word for word, that sits on hundreds of other chiropractic sites. This is the alternative: a homepage written for your practice, your domain in your name, pricing published up front, and a migration built to carry your Google rankings across rather than reset them.
The tell
Your homepage is running someone else's history lesson.
Look at the top of a lot of Inception-built chiropractic sites and you'll find some version of this, usually under a heading like "The History of Chiropractic Care":
"A common misconception that people have about pain is that medication can cure the problem… The word 'Chiropractic' is derived from the Greek words 'cheir' (hand) and 'praktos' (done)… In 1895, D.D. Palmer performed a chiropractic adjustment on a partially deaf janitor, Harvey Lillard, who later reported that his hearing had improved…"
Don't take my word that it's everywhere. Search Google for one line of it in quotes — “The word 'Chiropractic' is derived from the Greek words 'cheir' (hand) and 'praktos' (done)” — and you'll get page after page of chiropractic practices showing that exact text, in state after state. That's the problem in a nutshell, and it's worse than it looks:
It's duplicate content, and Google knows it. Search engines discount text that appears word-for-word across hundreds of sites. A paragraph shared by every clinic on the platform does nothing to help your site rank — it may quietly work against it.
It's your most valuable real estate, spent on a stranger. The top of your homepage is where a hurting patient decides in about three seconds whether you're the one to call. Handing that space to a 130-year-old history lesson — instead of your services, your results, and your new-patient offer — is the most expensive paragraph on the page.
And the deepest problem: it says nothing about this practice. Swap the logo and it could be any chiropractor in the country. A patient can feel that, even if they can't name it.
A real migration
When you leave, do you leave with your website?
We recently moved a chiropractic practice off Inception, and the first hurdle wasn't design — it was the domain. The practice's domain was registered and managed on the provider's side, not the practice's. So before a single page could point anywhere new, step one was getting the practice back in control of its own domain and transferring it out.
That's the part worth knowing before you renew: on a managed platform, the domain your entire online presence depends on may not be sitting where you can freely reach it. Recovering it is a normal, doable step — but it's a step, and you want it handled deliberately rather than discovered at the worst possible moment.
From there, protecting rankings is a discipline, not luck. Every existing page gets mapped to its new address with a 301 redirect, and the URL structure patients and Google already know is preserved — so the search equity the practice spent years earning moves across the switch instead of starting over.
A proper migration is also an audit. On another move — Tri Modern Health, off an iMatrix template — the traffic reports looked healthy until we dug in: 80% of the site's clicks were people in another country downloading a blank intake form, while the one page pulling real local patients was a lone Spanish page buried in the menu. The fix was a fully bilingual rebuild, every page mirrored in English and Spanish, so the site competes for the searches that actually fill the schedule. Read that case study →
Does a proper rebuild actually move the needle? On my own practice — Bay View Chiropractic — the rebuilt site went from buried on page 3–4 to page 1 for the local searches that book appointments, with roughly six times the daily visitors six months later. That one's my clinic, so I can show you the raw Google data, not a testimonial.

Inception vs. PracticeFlux
Same monthly ballpark. Not the same thing.
A side-by-side on the things that actually decide whether a website earns its keep — whose words are on the page, who controls the domain, what you pay, and what happens the day you leave.

Before you renew
Five questions to ask Inception before you sign again.
You don't have to take our word for any of this. Ask your current provider these directly — the answers tell you everything about what you're really paying for.
- Do I own my domain name — and can I move it today, on my own, without your permission?
- Is the copy on my homepage written for my practice, or shared with your other clients?
- Can I export my entire website — pages, copy, and images — and take it with me if I leave?
- What exactly do I pay each month, and what changes the day I cancel?
- When I need a change, do I make it myself in seconds — or file a ticket and wait?
