Private visibility audit

Adam Goodwin

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

We ran the same search, Plastic surgeon, from 25 spots around Wythenshawe in Manchester. You show on the first screen in many spots, and you are among the first three only very close to you. Away from there, especially north and east, you drop well below that in most places. Each dot is one of those spots; Green means you are in the top three there.

So someone searching a little further away may not come across you, while people very near you still can. That raises a simple question: who is showing up there instead?

The comparison worth looking at

One nearby practice shows up more widely

Compared with your practice, Macys Plastic Surgery appears both right by your address and further out around Wythenshawe, so people searching nearby are more likely to see it.

We ran the same search from the same spots around you, so these two maps can be read side by side.

That shows a wider reach around Wythenshawe is possible. So who is reaching your website now?

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 find your website without knowing your name

Most people who reach your site through Google were not looking for you by name. It is an estimate, and some still arrive by searching your name.

  • That matters because a person nearby looking for a plastic surgeon around Wythenshawe in Manchester can already find you without having heard of your practice.
  • Your website is already doing part of the hard work of being found, because some searches without your name bring people to your pages from the first page.

So which searches are already bringing those new people to you?

The searches behind the numbers

Facial surgery searches already reach some service pages

These are searches for facial plastic surgery services you offer, including lip lift, eyelid surgery, chin implant and buccal fat removal.

  • 'lip lift surgery' shows up among the first results and leads to your lip lift page.
  • 'buccal fat removal' sits low on the first page and brings almost no one to your buccal fat removal page.

The clearest opening is facial plastic surgery. Searches for lip lift, eyelid surgery and chin implant already reach your pages, so someone nearby can find you for those treatments.

Picture the patients searching for your procedures in Manchester being able to find you.

Here is what already works for you, and the first things we would put right.

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.

A doctor who ran clinics, doing this part for you

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.

A message or a voice note is enough

WhatsApp or voice note: +33 7 43 69 81 74. Tell me which part of this page you want to understand better. I reply myself. This page was made for your practice only, and it comes down 32 days after it was published.

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?
