Google Business Profile for doctors, run by our team

It comes down to three things Google can check: that your categories, services and hours match what the clinic does, that your name, address and phone number read the same everywhere, and that real patients have reviewed you recently. The Google profile covers all three. Our team keeps it current through local SEO.

Doctors are bound by professional conduct rules on advertising, so the safe approach is facts only: qualifications, services, hours and address. Avoid anything that reads like a claim, and check the current rules with your medical council before publishing. We give no legal advice, and our team keeps wording factual under profile optimisation.

Search for your clinic on Google, choose to claim or manage it, and verify that you run it. Creating the profile is free. If it is slow or confusing, our team can look after it once you add MapBoost as a manager, and you stay the owner. Start with the free audit.

Create or claim the free Google Business Profile and verify it, then fill in the specialty, hours, phone number and address. Nothing is paid to Google for the listing itself. The work is in keeping it complete and answered, which our team does for you. See our profile optimisation.

Google decides ownership through its own verification, so the first step is to request access to the profile from Google. If someone else, such as a former agency, still holds it, that has to be sorted out with them or through Google. Send us your Google Maps link in the free audit and we will look at it.

Your clinic name, the specialty as the category, today's hours, a phone number, the address and a few honest photos of the clinic. Patients read this card before they call. Our team keeps those details complete and consistent every week, and keeps wording factual. Read about profile optimisation.

Yes, if replies never confirm that someone was a patient and never mention a treatment. A short reply that thanks the reviewer and invites them to call the clinic is the safe pattern. Replies are written in your voice. Negative reviews are handled by a person on our team. See review management.

Yes, if it asks every patient and offers nothing in return. Google does not allow paid or selective requests. Making it easy helps, for example with a review QR code at the reception desk. Our team then replies politely to every review that arrives.

A doctor who practises independently can have one, but two profiles with the same name and address confuse patients and Google. Most small clinics do best with one clinic profile that lists each doctor's days. Decide this before editing anything, and our team can tell you which suits yours after the free audit.

Each clinic with its own address and phone number is its own location, so it can have its own profile with its own hours. A doctor visiting someone else's clinic is usually listed there. Every location gets the full service from our team, with its own weekly report. See profile optimisation.

Yes, websites, ads and social media all exist. For a single clinic, though, the quicker place to start is usually the map listing, because people type a specialty plus a locality and Google answers with a map. Our team runs only the profile side, which fits beside other work. Read about our local SEO service.

The profile itself is free. The cost is in keeping it complete and answered, which takes regular work. Our team does that work, and every location gets the full service. India: ₹2,499* per location per month. Europe: €49 per location per month + VAT where applicable. Rest of the world: $49 per location per month. The free audit shows what a clinic's profile is missing before any payment. See the pricing page.
