Private visibility audit

Javed Sultan

Mr Sultan, let’s look at your local visibility.

We ran one search, gastrointestinal surgeon, from 25 spots around Barlow Moor Rd in Manchester. You are among the first three in the west. You drop lower down the first screen towards the east, and sit below the first three in most tested spots. Each dot is one of those spots; Green means the practice is in the top three there.

This may mean people searching from the east do not come across you, while your presence to the west is worth protecting.

The comparison worth looking at

One nearby practice shows up more widely

Against Mr Nicholas Stylianides, you show up less often both close to the address and further out around Barlow Moor Rd in Manchester.

This is the same search from the same spots around your practice, so the two maps can be read side by side.

That suggests a wider local presence is reachable around Barlow Moor Rd in Manchester, so the next question is whether your website is turning that nearby interest into enquiries.

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

People are not yet searching for you by name

From the searches we found, nobody reaches your site by typing your name.

  • That means your name is not yet the Google search that brings people to your website.
  • So the people who do reach your site are finding you some other way.

So what do people search for when they do not know your name yet?

The searches behind the numbers

A bariatric search reaches your website

The search we found is by someone who does not know you yet, and it is about bariatric surgery rather than your name.

  • 'gastric sleeve manchester' has an unknown position in the results, so we cannot tell how often a patient would see it. It leads to your home page.

The search we found is for a service in your own field, bariatric surgery, but we cannot yet tell whether patients around Barlow Moor Rd in Manchester are actually seeing that page.

Picture patients searching for a gastric sleeve in Manchester being able to find you.

Here is what your practice already does well, 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?
