We ran one search, a neurosurgeon, from 25 spots around Headington in Oxford. You show lower down the first screen in many spots, and below the top three in most. Each dot is one of those spots; Green means you are in the top three there.
From those areas, someone searching on their phone may not come across you. So what does a stronger nearby map look like on the same search?
Across the same spots around Headington in Oxford, Mr Simon Cudlip MD FRCS, Oxford Neurosurgeon and Spinal Surgeon appears both close to your address and further out, while you sit lower down the map.
This is the same search, made from the same spots around your practice, so the two maps can be read side by side.
So being found right across these spots is possible here. For someone nearby with a phone in hand, the next question is how they reach your website.
We do not yet have the search figures for your website in this audit.
Once we have them, we can see whether new patients find you or only people who already know your name.
We do not yet have the list of searches that lead to your website.
We can look at them together and start from the services you want to be found for.
Here is what already works well, and the first thing we would put right.
None of this is about your care. It is about who sees your name first.
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.
WhatsApp or a voice note. Tell me which part of this page matters most to you. I reply myself.
We agree the priorities and what Forge will deliver, in writing. It is the only real time this asks of you.
Your Google listing and the pages a new patient lands on. Fixed before anything is built on top.
Kept up month after month. You watch it in a shared table, with a regular call, and your own people kept in the loop.
Four practices, four kinds of work. Delivered, not promised.
See the projectsEvery page about implants rebuilt, down to the questions patients ask before deciding. Kept up month after month.
The page patients land on before they book, her Google advertising, and a weekly letter to the colleagues who refer to her.
Every question his patients ask, mapped, then written and linked from his own publications.
His whole site reviewed page by page, and the three-month plan, city by city.
For a given specialty. So we do not work with the practice on the second map above, and would not while working with you.
Then very little: the odd decision, and your clinical eye where it matters.
If you stop, you keep all of it. No minimum term.
Agreed in writing. Nobody honest can promise you a position on Google, and we will not.
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.
