5 Local SEO & Reputation Mistakes Costing Your Practice Patients

When a potential patient searches for a provider, your Google visibility and reviews decide whether they call you—or the clinic down the street.

Here are the top mistakes that hurt healthcare providers in local search results:

📍 1. Unoptimized Google Business Profile
Missing details, outdated hours, or wrong categories kill your ranking.

🔁 2. Inconsistent NAP information
Name, address, and phone number must match exactly across all directories.

📸 3. No fresh local content
Google rewards active profiles. Post updates, health tips, and offers regularly.

⭐ 4. Few or outdated reviews
A steady stream of recent, keyword-rich reviews boosts both trust and rankings.

🔗 5. Lack of local backlinks
Mentions from local media, directories, and associations show Google you’re an authority in your area.

✅ RepuMaster fixes these issues for you—so your practice gets found and chosen first.
