Practice and practitioner profiles.
One profile for the clinic, one per clinician who sees patients, all with matching names and addresses.
Patients search for a treatment and a place. The site and the Google Business Profile have to name both, and they have to match. Local SEO starts at $500/month.
Patients search in two ways. Some look for a place: "physio near me", "private GP Leeds". Others look for a person: a named dentist, surgeon or therapist they were referred to. Most clinics only plan for the first kind.
Google can show a profile for the practice and a separate profile for each practitioner. If those profiles use different names, old addresses or the wrong category, Google has to guess which one to trust. It often picks the wrong one.
Health is also a topic where Google holds pages to a higher standard. A page about a treatment should say who wrote or checked it, what their role is, and when it was last reviewed. That isn't a trick. It's what a careful patient wants to see too.
One profile for the clinic, one per clinician who sees patients, all with matching names and addresses.
Each page names the clinician who checked it and the date it was reviewed.
A page for each place patients can visit, with parking, access and opening hours.
I don't write medical claims, before-and-after promises or "best in the city" lines. Treatment content is written from what your clinicians tell me, and they approve it before it goes live.
I don't need access to patient records, and I don't ask for it. I work on public pages, your Google Business Profile and Search Console. If a booking form or tracking script handles patient data, your compliance lead decides how it's set up.
No incentives for reviews. Google's rules don't allow them, and many regulators don't either.
Registration numbers you already publish (GMC, GDC, HCPC, or a US state licence) are shown the same way everywhere.
Nothing about a treatment goes live without sign-off from the clinic.
Audit the practice and practitioner profiles, categories, addresses and opening hours. Fix the mismatches.
Rewrite the pages for treatments you already offer. Add the reviewer and review date.
Set up a review request process your front desk can follow. Start the monthly report: calls, bookings and Map Pack positions.
