Patients find your practice – and the answers they need
Patients usually look for a practice for one of three reasons: they’re new to the area, they need a specialist with appointments available, or they’re looking for a particular service such as travel vaccinations. Whether the practice is taking on new patients, when walk-in hours are and how to get an appointment should be clear from the website at once – otherwise the phone rings with exactly these questions.
- Local search by specialty
- Doctor directories and listings
- Readability and accessibility

What a finding for Medical practices looks like
Every finding names the evidence on your website and what to do – exactly as it appears in your report.
Example with made-up values – your report names the findings for your website.

Where websites in this industry typically lose customers
Opening hours as an image or PDF
Opening hours, holidays and cover arrangements appear in a graphic or a notice-board PDF. Search engines can’t read them, and on a phone you have to zoom in.
Nothing on accepting new patients
Whether the practice is taking on new patients is the first question for many people. If the answer is missing, all that’s left is a phone call – or moving on to the next practice in the results.
Services as a list of keywords
“Ultrasound, ECG, vaccinations” says little. A short explanation for each service – what it’s for, who it’s for, whether it’s covered or private – answers the questions patients ask Google.
Online booking hard to find
The booking link is buried deep in the menu or missing from the home page. Patients may find the practice profile on a booking platform, but not the way there from the website.

What the audit checks for you
Local search by specialty
Where your practice ranks in Google Maps for your specialty and your part of town, and how complete your business profile is.
Doctor directories and listings
Whether your practice is listed on the important directories with the same opening hours, addresses and specialties as on your website.
Readability and accessibility
Whether font size, contrast and navigation also work for older or visually impaired patients – a large share of patients at many practices.
What AI assistants say
Whether AI assistants name your practice when asked about your specialty in the area, and whether they reproduce opening hours and services correctly.
Platforms that matter in your industry
The audit checks whether your business can be found there and whether your name, address and services match everywhere – AI assistants rely heavily on exactly these sources.
- Google Business Profile
- NHS Find a GP
- Doctify
- Top Doctors
- Doctolib
Suitable structured data
So that search engines and AI systems can read your details unambiguously:
- Physician
- MedicalClinic for group practices
- OpeningHoursSpecification
Rules on advertising in healthcare
Doctors may provide factual information about their services. Regulators and professional bodies restrict advertising in healthcare – in particular misleading claims, promises of a cure and promotional exaggeration. Service pages should therefore explain rather than promise – which is also the form that search engines and AI assistants make best use of.
General information, not legal advice.

Frequently asked questions
Often it’s not about more patients but about the right patients and fewer calls. Answering questions on opening hours, new patients and private services clearly takes pressure off the practice team and gets you found for specific services.
It doesn’t replace your own website. These platforms mainly show appointments and reviews; detailed information on services, team and areas of focus can only be found with you – by patients and AI assistants alike – and both should match.
Services such as travel vaccinations or additional screening are searched for specifically, often with a question about the price. A factual page per service with the process and a note on fees matches these searches and stays within your professional rules.
