Private visibility audit

Mr Michael Anthony Silva

Mr Michael Anthony Silva, let’s look at your local visibility.

We checked the same search for a surgeon from 25 spots around your practice around Headington in Oxford. Overall, your practice is far down the list in most places, and the map does not show it first or in the top three anywhere, so it looks weak almost everywhere. Each dot is one of those spots; Green means the practice is in the top three there.

This may mean that, from the weaker parts of the area, someone searching nearby may not come across your practice.

The comparison worth looking at

One nearby practice shows up more widely

Oxford Hernia Clinic appears both closer to the address and further out around Headington in Oxford, while your practice is far down the list, so this is the gap worth understanding.

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

This suggests a wider local presence is reachable around Headington in Oxford, and the first thing worth checking is whether both practices offer the same services.

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

This estimate did not find searches using your practice name, so people reaching your site through Google are not yet searching for you by name.

  • In practice, this means Google is not yet showing signs that people already know the practice name and search for it directly.
  • There are other relevant searches around Headington in Oxford, but your pages sit too far down for most people to see them.

Next, we will look at which searches can bring people here without the name.

The searches behind the numbers

New people are not finding you yet

These are non-name searches about hepatobiliary surgery and Churchill Hospital information, but the ones found sit beyond the first page, so people who do not know you are unlikely to reach your site this way.

The key point is that, around Headington in Oxford, someone looking for hepatobiliary surgery is not reaching you this way yet. That gap in finding your own field is the main finding.

Picture the Oxford patients searching for your operations finding your name first.

There is real ground already in your favour here, and a few gaps worth attention. Both sit on the same page, and all of it is workable.

I used to run clinics myself, so a call is just two colleagues looking at the same page. None of this needs solving at once; each piece 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.

Kept up month after month. You watch it in a shared table, with a regular call, and your own people kept in the loop.

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.

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?
