Reputation Boost

Local visibility checklist

Dr. Hilary Don, MD

Several tracked searches still leave you off the first screen of results — prioritized actions below can close the gap.

This week — prioritize these

  1. Encourage and Respond to Reviews

    Encourage satisfied patients to leave reviews and promptly respond to all reviews to show engagement.

  2. Utilize Google Posts for Updates

    Regularly post updates, health tips, and promotions through Google Posts to increase visibility and engagement.

  3. Maximize Use of Attributes and Services

    Ensure all relevant attributes and services offered are accurately listed on the profile to match user intent.

What's working

  • Your Google Business Profile on Maps is live — that is the foundation every local business builds from.

Gaps to close

  • Not showing in the top results for "best doctors in Baltimore MD" yet — room to grow.
  • Not showing in the top results for "medical clinic 21218" yet — room to grow.
  • Not showing in the top results for "primary care physician near me" yet — room to grow.
Some businesses ranking near you show a higher Maps rating (up to 5.0★ vs your 4.2★) — reviews and recency often influence who gets the tap.
