You Need An Up-To-Date Google My Business Listing

If you or your practice does not have a Google My Business (GMB) Listing or it is not up-to-date, you are missing out on multiple opportunities to gain new patients and have more online visibility.

Here are a few reasons why:

1. Patients Search Locally

With a GMB listing, Google can determine the proximity of patients from your office. If a patient types in "Tampa dentist" and you have a verified GMB account, you will appear as a top search. GMB listings appear before any other results, so it is crucial that you are not missing these local search opportunities.

2. Google Reviews

Reviews are so important to patients when deciding to choose a healthcare provider. It is one of the first things they read during the searching process. With your GMB listing, patient reviews can be easily accessed by prospective patients and be a huge factor in their decision. Reviews help prospective patients get to know you as a provider and they can read about your interactions and engagements with other patients.

Dr. Leonardo PROVIDER-Sites feature your 5 most recent Google reviews on your home page automatically.

3. Key Role In Your Ranking on Google

Dr. Leonardo's content and internal SEO tools rank your site on its own. But having a GMB listing tells Google to rank your site even higher on certain search terms. Listings that are full and complete are what make the difference between being placed in the spot above your competitor.

4. Present Important Information

Lastly, your GMB is just another outlet for your patients to see information such as your practice address, office hours, online appointments, phone number, accepted insurances, etc. If patients need more information than listed above, your GMB listing brings them directly to your Dr. Leonardo website to learn more.
