Practical guide

A practical framework

01

Audit Google Business Profile essentials

Check names, categories, address, website destination, services, photos and hours against real practice details.

Maintain consistent information across branches and references.
02

Create useful local pages

Show actual addresses, travel or accessibility information if relevant, contact details, scope of services and appropriate practitioner information.

Do not multiply identical pages for neighbourhood keyword variations.
03

Strengthen mobile conversion

Make telephone numbers, directions and booking options easy to access. Check the experience on real phones.

Use clear buttons and form labels.
04

Measure what improves

Compare local discovery and qualified enquiries over time, while acknowledging Google rankings vary by location and search context.

Avoid claims that every clinic can become number one in Maps.
