Private visibility audit

Gus Kennedy

Gus, let’s look at your local visibility.

We ran the same search, Skin care clinic, from 25 spots around Summertown in Oxford. You are easy to find close to your practice. Farther out, you are far down the list in most spots. Each dot is one of those spots; Green means you are in the top three there.

This may mean people a little farther away do not come across you, while your close by presence is worth protecting. What happens when they search and choose between the practices they do see?

The comparison worth looking at

One nearby clinic shows up wider

Cannelle Skin Clinic in Oxford shows up more strongly further out, so once people are not right by your door, they are more likely to see them.

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

That suggests a wider local presence is reachable around Summertown in Oxford. So who is actually reaching your website now: people who know you already, or new people?

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

From the searches we found, people reach your site through Google without using your practice name. This is an estimate. One example is 'stool oily'.

  • That means someone can find you from a health concern or the care you offer around Summertown in Oxford, without already knowing your practice.
  • Your website is already doing part of the hard work of being found, because some of those searches bring a page onto the first page.

So which searches are bringing those people to you, and where do they land?

The searches behind the numbers

New people arrive through symptom searches

These are searches about symptoms, mainly digestive and urinary or kidney concerns, rather than searches for skin care.

  • 'stool oily' shows up among the first results and leads to your page about bloating, oily stools and pancreatic health.
  • 'cloudy urine' shows up low on the first page, brings almost no one, and leads to your page about burning, stinging or cloudy urine.

The pages bringing new people are about another service of your practice, so someone looking for skin care around Summertown in Oxford does not arrive this way yet.

Imagine people searching for a skin clinic in Oxford being able to find you.

Here is what already works for you, and what we would take on first.

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
A dental practice near Paris

Every page about implants rebuilt, down to the questions patients ask before deciding. Kept up month after month.

An oral surgeon in Paris

The page patients land on before they book, her Google advertising, and a weekly letter to the colleagues who refer to her.

A hand surgeon in Italy

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

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

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?
