Private visibility audit

Harshil Thakkar

Dr Thakkar, let’s look at your local visibility.

We ran the same search, a dental clinic, from 25 spots around Manor Rd in Bath. On most of the north and west side, you appear first or among the first three. South-east of you, you drop far down the list. Each dot is one of those spots; Green means the practice is in the top three there.

So someone a few streets south-east may not come across you, while your stronger north and west presence is worth protecting. What does a nearby patient see when another practice appears?

The comparison worth looking at

The same search, side by side

Compared with your practice, Bath Dental Clinic appears from spots further out from Manor Rd.

We ran the same search from the same spots around Manor Rd in Bath, so the two maps can be read side by side.

This suggests a wider local presence is reachable around Manor Rd in Bath. That matters when someone nearby needs a dentist and searches on their phone. The next question is your website.

Each dot is a tested search location. Green means a top-three position for that search. The comparison concerns search visibility, not the quality of care.

Beyond the map

Most people reach you without your name

Most searches we found reaching your site do not use your practice name. This is an estimate. One example is 'eating after filling'.

  • That means people are reaching your site for dental questions, not because they already know your practice by name.
  • Because at least one search without your name shows on the first page, your website is already doing part of the hard work of being found.

So are those searches bringing you new people?

The searches behind the numbers

New people are not clearly reaching you yet

We found searches about general dental care, and question-led searches about tooth removal and fillings.

  • 'manor dental practice bath' shows up among the first results and leads to your home page.

The clear search we found is still your name, not a general dental search. So someone looking for a dental clinic around Manor Rd in Bath does not arrive this way yet.

Picture the people searching for dental care in Bath being able to find you.

Here is what already works well for you, and where we would start the work.

None of this is about your care. It is about who sees your name first.

You stay with your patients. We carry this part.

Patients choose before they call: from the first names on the map, from the first results on Google. My team rebuilds what decides that, your Google listing and the pages a patient lands on, and keeps it up every month. Here is what happens if you reply.

1
Start here

You send a message

WhatsApp or a voice note. Tell me which part of this page matters most to you. I reply myself.

2

About an hour together

We agree the priorities and what Forge will deliver, in writing. It is the only real time this asks of you.

3

Foundations first

Your Google listing and the pages a new patient lands on. Fixed before anything is built on top.

4

Systems that keep running

Kept up month after month. You watch it in a shared table, with a regular call, and your own people kept in the loop.

Work we have already done

Not a promise. The work itself.

Four practices, four kinds of work. Delivered, not promised.

I'm a doctor. I used to run a group of clinics, and I know this part of the job is not why anyone chooses medicine. Today my team does it for practices like yours: the research, the writing and the set-up. You come in only where clinical knowledge matters.

Got a question?

A few things you may be wondering

The questions practitioners actually ask me after a page like this.

What would you do first for my practice?

We already have a website, an agency or someone who watches this. Do we start again?

Will this bring the right patients, or just more enquiries?

I searched myself and saw something different. Why?

What does it cost, and how long before something changes?

Do you work with the practice you compared me with?
