Private visibility audit

Moez Zeiton - Consultant Orthopaedic Knee & Hip Surgeon

Hi there, let’s look at your local visibility.

We ran the same search, a private hospital, from 25 spots around West Didsbury in Manchester. You come up in the list at all 25, but never in the first three at any of them. Close to your own address you sit just below that, and farther out you drop well down the list. Each dot is one of those spots; Green means the practice is in the top three there.

So someone searching nearby scrolls past the three names shown first. Would another private hospital here fare any differently from the same spots?

The comparison worth looking at

One nearby hospital comes before you at every spot

Spire Manchester Hospital comes before you at all twenty-five spots we tested, and it comes first at the spot by your own door, where you sit lower on the screen.

Same search, same twenty-five spots around you, run again for a neighbour, so the two maps can be read side by side.

It is in the first three at all twenty-five, while you are at none of them. That gives you a concrete local example to work from. So the next question is who actually reaches your website.

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

We could not measure your own page separately

Your page sits inside the much larger Spire Healthcare website. The search tool measured that whole site, and none of the searches it found leads to your page, so we cannot say how people reach yours.

  • This matters for a patient with a phone in hand: your knee and hip work is part of a big site, where your own page has to be found among hundreds of others.
  • Anything we quoted from the wider site would be the hospital group's searches, not yours, and we will not pass that off as a reading of your own page.

So the honest next question is what people search for when they do not know your name yet, and where those searches land.

The searches behind the numbers

No search we found leads to your pages

Someone who does not know your name searches for a private hospital around West Didsbury in Manchester. None of the searches we found leads that person to your website.

Your pages are not yet doing the work of being found. That is where we would start, with the services you most want to be known for.

Picture patients searching for your treatments around West Didsbury being able to find you.

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.

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.

Step 3

Foundations first

Your Google listing and the pages a new patient lands on. Fixed before anything is built on top.

Step 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.

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?
