We ran the same search, a surgeon, from 25 spots around Headington in Oxford. The map shows you on the first screen in many spots. It also shows you below the top three in most, so this is weak across much of the area we tested. Each dot is one of those spots; Green means you are in the top three there.
From the weaker parts of the map, someone searching on their phone may not come across you. So who are patients nearby seeing instead?

Oxford Hernia Clinic appears both close to your practice and further out around Headington, so patients nearby are more likely to see it before you.
This is the same search from the same spots around you, so the two maps can be read side by side.
That wider reach is possible around Headington in Oxford; the next question is whether your website is bringing in people who do not already know you.

About half the people reaching your site through Google already know your name, from searches like 'nick maynard'. The other half are looking for a surgeon more generally. This is an estimate.
So which searches bring in people who do not know your name yet?

We found one search that reaches your website beyond your full name. It is not about a treatment. It is someone typing your surname with doctor.
The useful point is the gap: none of the searches we found is about upper GI surgery, so someone looking for an upper GI surgeon around Headington in Oxford does not arrive this way yet.

Here is what already works well, and what we would take on first.
None of this is about your care. It is about who sees your name first.
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.
WhatsApp or a voice note. Tell me which part of this page matters most to you. I reply myself.
We agree the priorities and what Forge will deliver, in writing. It is the only real time this asks of you.
Your Google listing and the pages a new patient lands on. Fixed before anything is built on top.
Kept up month after month. You watch it in a shared table, with a regular call, and your own people kept in the loop.
Four practices, four kinds of work. Delivered, not promised.
See the projectsEvery page about implants rebuilt, down to the questions patients ask before deciding. Kept up month after month.
The page patients land on before they book, her Google advertising, and a weekly letter to the colleagues who refer to her.
Every question his patients ask, mapped, then written and linked from his own publications.
His whole site reviewed page by page, and the three-month plan, city by city.
For a given specialty. So we do not work with the practice on the second map above, and would not while working with you.
Then very little: the odd decision, and your clinical eye where it matters.
If you stop, you keep all of it. No minimum term.
Agreed in writing. Nobody honest can promise you a position on Google, and we will not.
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.
