Private visibility audit

Tristan Mehta

Tristan, let’s look at your local visibility.

We ran the same search, a dermatologist, from 25 spots around St Johns Court in Manchester. You come up first at your own address. Beyond that, you are far down the list in most surrounding spots. Each dot is one of those spots; Green means the practice is in the top three there.

For someone searching from most nearby spots, your practice may not come up on their screen. That raises a simple question: who is showing up nearby instead?

The comparison worth looking at

One nearby practice shows up wider

Against Dr Nicole Dermatology, you appear weaker across the surrounding spots, so patients nearby are more likely to see them first.

We ran the same search from the same spots around St Johns Court in Manchester, so the two maps can be read side by side.

This suggests a wider local presence is reachable around St Johns Court in Manchester. That leads to the next question: 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

People are not yet searching for you by name

From what we found, people reaching your site through Google are not searching for your practice by name.

  • That means people who already know you may still search in other ways, after a recommendation, walking past, or hearing about you from an existing patient.
  • When someone nearby searches for a dermatologist around St Johns Court in Manchester without your name, that is a different search again.

So what are those other searches, and which pages do they reach?

The searches behind the numbers

We found only one service search

These are searches from people who do not know you yet. Here, the only service search we found is for Profhilo, which leads to your Profhilo Structura page.

  • 'profhilo' leads to your Profhilo Structura page, though we cannot tell where it shows or whether anyone sees it.

What stands out is the gap: the page that may reach new people is about Profhilo, one service you offer. Someone looking for a dermatologist around St Johns Court in Manchester does not arrive this way yet.

Picture the patients searching for skin treatments in Manchester being able to find you.

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

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.

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 message or a voice note is enough

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?
