Private visibility audit

Dr Friedrich Peter Carls

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

We ran the same search, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, from 25 spots around Banbury Rd in Oxford. The map shows you are among the first three almost everywhere. You look strong across this area. Each dot is one of those spots; Green means the practice is in the top three there.

This suggests someone nearby can usually find you on the map, and that strong presence is worth protecting. The next question is how you compare with another practice nearby.

The comparison worth looking at

Your map holds up nearby

Oxford Oral Surgeon appears first more often across the same spots, but your practice also shows up well, which is worth real confidence locally.

We ran the same search from the same spots around Banbury Rd in Oxford, so you can read both maps together.

That makes your local map an asset here. The next question is what happens when someone taps through: does your website help new patients who do not know you yet?

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

None of the searches we found used your practice name. We did find searches like 'oxford implants', but not your name itself.

  • That means people who already know you may still search in other ways, rather than typing your name into Google.
  • Those searches do exist around Banbury Rd in Oxford, but your pages sit too far down for most people to see them.

So the next question is which other searches could help people find you.

The searches behind the numbers

Only implant searches lead to your website

These are implant related searches. They lead people to your team page, not to a page about oral and maxillofacial surgery.

  • 'oxford implants' shows up beyond the first page of results and leads to your team page, which most people never see.
  • 'oxford dental implants' shows up beyond the first page of results and leads to your team page, which most people never see.

So the pages we found are about another service of your practice. Someone looking for an oral and maxillofacial surgeon around Banbury Rd in Oxford does not arrive this way yet.

Picture the patients searching for implants in Oxford being able to find you.

There are real strengths here worth keeping, and a few gaps worth some attention. Both sit in the same picture, and each one can be worked on calmly.

I used to run clinics myself, so a call is really two colleagues reading the same page together. None of this needs doing at once; each part can be taken on its own.

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.

His whole site reviewed page by page, and the three-month plan, city by city.

Then very little: the odd decision, and your clinical eye where it matters.

Everything built stays yours

If you stop, you keep all of it. No minimum term.

We commit to the work

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?
