Practice Reputation
Manage your medical practice's online reputation effectively. Learn how to generate positive reviews, respond to patient feedback, and improve search rankings through reputation management.
Google rewards practices with strong review volume and positive sentiment. A 4.8-star rating with 100+ recent reviews significantly improves visibility in local search results versus competitors.
78% of patients research reviews before booking. Practices with consistently high ratings and authentic testimonials convert more online searchers into scheduled appointments.
Outrank competitors in 'best doctors near me' and specialty-specific searches. Reputation is a major ranking signal—dominate your local market by maintaining a strong review profile.
Patient reviews reveal real pain points. Use feedback to improve scheduling, wait times, billing processes, and clinical experience—then promote improvements in marketing.

Prioritize Google Business Profile (highest SEO impact), Healthgrades, Zocdoc, and Yelp. These are the platforms patients check first. Specialty-specific sites (e.g., RealSelf for cosmetic surgery) are also valuable depending on your focus.
The best time to ask is when patient satisfaction is highest—right after a positive visit outcome or checkout. Automate a simple SMS or email link 24–48 hours post-visit. Keep the request brief and make it a one-click process.
Respond within 24–48 hours professionally and empathetically. Acknowledge the concern, apologize if appropriate, offer a solution, and take the conversation offline if needed. Public responses show future patients that you care about quality.
Both matter. A practice with 200 4.5-star reviews will rank higher than a competitor with 10 5-star reviews. Volume signals legitimacy and recency, while rating reflects overall quality. Aim for 50+ reviews and maintain a 4.6+ average.
