We ran the same search for an orthopaedic surgeon from 25 spots around Barlow Moor Rd in Manchester. You are on the first screen in many spots, but below the top three in most. Each dot is one of those spots; Green means the practice is in the top three there.
Where the map is weak, someone nearby may not come across you. So what happens when a nearby practice appears more strongly for the same search?
OrthTeam Centre appears both close to your address and further out, so a person searching nearby is more likely to see them than your practice.
