Private visibility audit

Dr Emily Lord

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

We ran one search, a venereologist, from 25 spots around Headington in Oxford. On this map, you show on the first screen in many spots. You are among the first three nearest you, then lower down toward Oxford city centre. Each dot is one of those spots; Green means you are in the top three there.

Nearer you, people can still find you. Toward Oxford city centre, someone searching there may not come across you. What does a nearby practice look like on the same search?

The comparison worth looking at

One nearby practice shows up more widely

Oxona Healthcare appears alongside you near your practice and keeps showing further out, so it is easier to find across more of the area.

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

That suggests being found further out around Headington in Oxford is possible, not just close to your practice. The next question is who reaches 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 who find your website already know you

Almost everyone reaching your site through Google already knew you and searched for you by name.

  • They had usually heard of you already, perhaps from a recommendation, from walking past, or as an existing patient.
  • Someone nearby looking for a venereologist around Headington in Oxford without your name makes a different search, and your pages sit too far down for people to see.

So which searches bring people here without your name?

The searches behind the numbers

The one search we found brings no new people

We found one broad search that appears to be for sexual health care.

  • 'sec doctor' shows up beyond the first page of results and leads to your home page, so most people never see it.

It is in your own field, so someone looking for this care around Headington in Oxford is not arriving this way yet.

Picture patients searching in Oxford for this care being able to find you.

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

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.

See the projects

Every question his patients ask, mapped, then written and linked from his own publications.

A plastic surgeon in Italy

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

What stays yours

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

Agreed in writing. Nobody honest can promise you a position on Google, and we will not.

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?
