Reputation Boost

Local visibility checklist

Karen Elaine Kirkham, 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 satisfied patients to leave reviews

    Request reviews from patients to improve rating and credibility.

  2. Regularly post engaging content on Google Posts

    Share updates, promotions, and health tips to attract local searchers.

  3. Optimize business description with key services and keywords

    Include relevant keywords like 'primary care physician' and 'doctor' in the description.

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 "primary care physician Columbus Ohio" yet — room to grow.
  • Not showing in the top results for "doctor near me Columbus OH" yet — room to grow.
  • Not showing in the top results for "best doctor 393 E Town St #116 Columbus" yet — room to grow.
Some businesses ranking near you show a higher Maps rating (up to 5.0★ vs your 3.7★) — reviews and recency often influence who gets the tap.
