We ran the same search, local medical services, from 25 spots around Old Mill St in Manchester. At every one of those spots you sit outside the first three, and at about half of them you are not in the list at all. That holds at your own door as well as farther out. Each dot is one of those spots; Green means the practice is in the top three there.
So a parent searching nearby, phone in hand, sees three other names first, and where you do appear you sit far down the list. Which raises the obvious question: what does that map look like for a practice down the road?

We ran the same search for Urban Village Medical Practice. It came before you at all twenty five spots, close to your door and farther out, though it reached the first three at only one of them.
Same search, same twenty five spots around you, so the two maps can be read side by side.
It sits above you, yet it is barely seen either: among the first three at one spot only. Which raises the question of how parents reach your website instead.

About a third of the estimated visits from Google come from searches that include your name. A similar share comes from the searches we can see without it, like 'tongue tie clinic near me'. These are estimates.
So which of those searches without your name reach you, and where do they land?

These are searches without your name: a tongue-tie clinic nearby, a private tongue-tie appointment, and a few reading up on newborn tongue-tie before booking anything.
So searches for your own treatment, tongue-tie, do reach you, which is the best possible starting point. They arrive on a booking screen with no introduction to you, though, and that raises the question of what they see next.

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