Common questions
At minimum, verify hours and services quarterly. Post an update at least once per month. Add new photos every 30 to 60 days. Google favors active profiles over dormant ones in local ranking.
Patients who arrive during hours listed as open and find the practice closed rarely rebook. They leave a one-star review and call your competitor. Wrong hours is a direct revenue leak.
No. Operator flags what is stale and queues correction tasks for staff. All profile changes require a human to review and publish. Google also requires identity verification for certain edits.
Include the reception area, operatories, exterior with signage, and staff headshots. Avoid stock photos. Patient privacy rules mean no treatment photos without explicit written consent.
