Local visibility checklist

Khaled Elghonemy, MD, MSc, FACP

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

This week — prioritize these

Optimize Business Description with Relevant Keywords
Include keywords like 'internal medicine,' 'primary care,' and 'family doctor' in your business description to improve visibility for related searches.
Utilize Google Posts for Increased Visibility
Regularly post updates, health tips, and promotions on your Google Business Profile to engage with potential patients and improve local search visibility.
Encourage More Reviews from Patients
Request satisfied patients to leave positive reviews on your Google Business Profile to build credibility and improve your rating.

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

Not showing in the top results for "family physician Seattle WA" yet — room to grow.
Not showing in the top results for "doctor near 904 7th Ave Seattle" yet — room to grow.
Not showing in the top results for "medical clinic downtown Seattle" yet — room to grow.

Your Maps rating is competitive with others showing for these searches — focus on ranking and profile completeness to win more clicks.
