Have you listed your medical practice yet on Google?
Eight-in-ten internet users look online for health information according to the Pew Internet Project. As a healthcare provider, getting listed on Google Places helps you be found when people search the web.
It’s an easy way to improve your online presence and search ranking, and as a result send more traffic to your website and turn visitors into patients. Plus it’s free advertising for your practice.
In this example, my search for Opthalmologists shows the top 4 results and their locations on the map. Note how “Practice D” also benefits from 8 five-star ratings (I’ve circled in red) – this calls positive attention to the practice and likely yields a higher visit rate to their website.
Getting on Google Places is one of the quickest and easiest things you can do online to let people know about your practice. If you want to learn more or create your own listing follow this link.
