Private visibility audit

Professor Graham Collins

Professor Collins, let’s look at your local visibility.

We ran the same search, haematologist, from 25 spots around Littlemore in Oxford. You are among the first three almost everywhere. You also come up first in many nearby spots, with no clear drop as you move out. Each dot is one of those spots; Green means you are in the top three there.

So people nearby can usually find you, and that is a position worth protecting. The next question is how you look beside a practice nearby.

The comparison worth looking at

Your map holds up well nearby

Against Dr Jaimal Kothari, you show up just as well and more often first, both near your practice and further out around Littlemore.

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

That makes your local map an asset. A patient nearby can find you readily. The next question is whether the people reaching your site already knew you.

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 was searching for your name, as best we can tell.

  • They had already heard of you, from a recommendation or because they are already a patient.
  • Someone nearby in Oxford looking for a haematologist, without your name, is making a different search.

So what are the searches that can bring you people who do not know you yet?

The searches behind the numbers

New people are not reaching you this way

Every search we found uses your name, so someone who has never heard of you does not arrive this way.

So nothing we found is bringing new people to your haematology work yet. The next question is which parts of your website are doing the job once people get there.

Picture the patients searching for a haematologist in Oxford being able to find you.

A plain read of 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
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

One practitioner per city, in writing.

For a given specialty. So we do not work with the practice on the second map above, and would not while working with you.

From €1,200 per month
First diagnostic free. No minimum term. Agreed in writing before anything starts.
About an hour at the start

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?
