Google My Business (Maps) Optimization

There are many different tips and tricks available to you as a functional medicine practice website owner to help boost your website ranking. By boosting this ranking, you increase the chances that a search engine user turns into a new patient for your local business. One of the easiest ways to do this is by filling out your Google My Business (GMB) profile. Our team here at Functional Medicine SEO is here to help medical practice businesses with GMB optimization services. 

Filling out your Google My Business listing can help shoot your practice’s website higher up in the local search engine results. You can achieve this by filling out your medical practice information, such as your hours of operation, business description, and adding images. Google will pick up this activity and place your website higher up on the listings. Another major benefit of doing this is that it increases the chances Google search engine users will click on your medical website page. 

Google also allows you to add a link to your website so potential clients can click on your page directly from Google Maps or the search results page. If you don’t have a website already, you can create a basic free website through Google My Business. The free website is a straightforward landing page with little customization, but it is a good option for those who don’t currently have a local business website. 

Receive Calls Directly From the Listing

The vast majority of search engine users nowadays use their telephones to find things they need. This is better for your functional medicine practice because it means people are searching for local businesses and services right when they need them. This increases the chances that these search engine users are ready to give your practice a call directly from Google itself. 

This is a feature that GMB offers, as you can now list your practice’s phone number directly in the listing. Mobile users can simply click on this link, and it will automatically call your practice for them. Your medical practice’s digital presence will be more prominent. This makes it easier for clients to reach you, making it more likely for you to convert search engine users into patients.
