Private visibility audit

Dr James Gamble

Dr James Gamble, let’s look at your local visibility.

We checked when someone nearby searches for a cardiologist from 25 spots around the practice. Across around Headington in Oxford, Dr James Gamble is among the first three almost everywhere, usually near the top, with one small pocket where it drops. Each dot is one of those spots; Green means the practice is in the top three there.

This may mean many nearby searchers will come across you, while people searching from that weaker pocket may not, so your stronger presence elsewhere is worth protecting.

The comparison worth looking at

Both maps show up well locally

Around Headington in Oxford, Dr Julian Ormerod - Cardiologist comes first more often, both close to you and further out, though both practices show up well.

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

Both practices show up well around Headington in Oxford, with Dr Julian Ormerod coming first more often. That suggests a wider local presence is reachable here if you 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 Google searches using your practice name. Searches like 'best cardiologist near me' do exist, but they are different from people looking specifically for you.

  • In practice, this suggests people are not yet reaching your site by typing your name after a recommendation or from already knowing your practice.
  • There are searches for what a Cardiologist offers around Headington in Oxford, but your pages sit too far down for most people to see them.

Next, we will look at which non-name searches could bring people to you.

The searches behind the numbers

New patients do not reach you this way

These are searches about cardiology and stress testing from people who do not already know your name, but your pages are not being seen for them yet.

  • For 'best cardiologist near me', you show up beyond the first page of results, so most people never see the home page it leads to.
  • For 'private stress test', you show up beyond the first page of results, so most people never see your booking page.

The main finding is the gap: people searching around Headington in Oxford for cardiology or stress testing are not reaching your own pages this way yet.

Picture the patients searching for a private heart check in Oxford reaching you first.

There is real ground worth keeping here, and a few gaps worth attention. Nothing looks broken, and each piece can be worked on calmly, one at a time.

Worth your attention
  • Being among the first three is a strong base, but you are not always the first name read in the area we tested, and that first name is often the one rung.
  • Dr Julian Ormerod - Cardiologist came first more often across those same tested spots, so in some pockets of the area his name may be read before yours.
  • None of the searches we checked without your name, such as private stress test, came up on the first page, so a patient who does not know you yet may never reach your booking page.

I used to run clinics myself, so a call here is simply two colleagues reading the same page together. Each of these gaps can be taken on calmly, one at a time.

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.

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?
