Local visibility checklist

Ronald Shigematsu, MD

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

This week — prioritize these

Optimize Google Posts
Regularly post informative content related to healthcare tips, services, and patient testimonials to engage with the audience and improve visibility.
Optimize for Keywords
Include relevant keywords like 'doctor,' 'physician,' and 'healthcare' naturally throughout the profile, posts, and description.
Select Relevant Categories
Ensure the primary category is 'Doctor' and select additional relevant categories like 'Physician' or 'Medical Clinic' to broaden visibility.
