Private visibility audit

Miss Claire Bailey

Miss Bailey, let’s look at your local visibility.

We ran the same search, a reproductive health clinic, from 25 spots around Headington in Oxford. You show on the first screen in many spots, especially close by. Farther out, you usually drop below the top three. Each dot is one of those spots; Green means the practice is in the top three there.

Farther from you, someone searching on their phone may not come across your practice. That raises a simple question: what does a nearby practice look like on the same search?

The comparison worth looking at

One nearby practice shows up more widely

On the same search, Oxford Reproductive Medicine appears both close to your address and further out, so a patient searching from across Headington in Oxford is more likely to find them than you.

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

That shows being found further out is possible around Headington in Oxford. The next question is who reaches your website now: people who know you, 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

People reaching your site through Google are not using your practice name in the searches we found.

  • In practice, people who already know you may search in other ways, but none of the searches we found uses your name.
  • People do search for problems you treat around Headington in Oxford, but your pages sit too far down for most people to see them.

So which searches could bring new people to you, and where do they land?

The searches behind the numbers

These searches bring almost no new people

These are searches about bleeding after sex and recurring thrush.

  • 'bleeding after sex' is low on the first page and leads to the bleeding after sex page. It is seen by few people and brings almost no one.
  • 'recurring thrush' is low on the first page and leads to the recurrent thrush page. It is seen by few people and brings almost no one.

None of the searches we found is bringing new people yet, even though they are for gynaecology problems you do treat. The gap is clear: you are not being found around Headington in Oxford for your field.

Picture the women searching for these symptoms in Oxford 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.

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?
