How to Claim Your Place on Google

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.
